ChartLogic EMR vs. Veradigm Practice Management

ChartLogic is great for a practice that wants an EMR but doesn't want/need all the bells and whistles of a giant like Epic. It allows each individual doctor to create their own templates, smart fields and ways of seeing their messages, encounters etc so that while you have one EMR system each doctor can make it their own. Little to no computer experience or training needed to make things work easily.

I have been using Allscripts Practice Management at Concentra for about 2.5 years after they acquired US Healthworks. It has been a revelation so much so that I forget what we used at USHW. I know that the system we had was not comprehensive enough that we had to still use paper files and we could not access any other providers' reports. Allscripts allows a group practice to access every report, imaging, and employer communcations for each patient. It's very powerful for a large multi-center medical practice. It would be too complicated for smaller groups.

Moving away from paper reports is a little hard at first like ripping off a bandaid, but once you're fully integrated, it's just so much easier to see all your work over time and access reports, schedules, and all pertinent employment information for each patient. Not having to deal with paper files just changes the office completely.

I'm actually not sure if we call Allscripts support or our own support team with superusers. There never seems to be a problem that can't be fixed right away. The biggest problem you can have is when you start a report when the patient hasn't been checked in. I know how to fix it myself now, but it takes a few minutes with support when you need them to back it out.

Haven't used many others but out of the ones I have used, it's the best and I definitely recommend it.

Centricity is much more difficult to get support for in my experience.

• ChartLogic has been a great EMR for us at a reasonable price point.

• I am only a user but it's easy to assume that this program is very expensive.
• Access to reports across all providers is game-changing.
• Helping the patient navigate care by seeing not just reports but scheduled visits is also a major plus.
