Intergy EHR vs. EHR 24/7 by Office Ally

It worked quite well in the dermatology/plastic surgery clinic. In fact, until I moved into the administrative/finance department of this neurosurgery clinic, I had no complaints whatsoever about Intergy. The process for end users is very intuitive and free-flowing. On the management side of things, however, it's difficult to track or prove audit trails.

Smaller doctor or dental offices would be fine using Office Ally for patient visits and appointments; it's easy to use and learn, and I'm able to handle most needs with it. For a larger practice, there are better, more technologically advanced software products that would offer more streamlined and professional statements, schedules, and accounting needs.

• Health Reminders- for different patient needs or preventive care/screenings. For example patients who have a diagnosis of Diabetes- their health reminders will show if they need an A1c, foot exam, eye exam, etc. and when it was last performed
• Orders Tracking- This helps nursing staff make notes on referrals or orders and they are able to look at the order tracking section for all patients and filter it by provider, order type, status, etc. to know what needs to be followed up on or what has been completed and so forth...
• Tasks- This is a nice feature that has many different options for use. It can be used internally to send a quick message to another user, a phone message, billing message, and any task gives you the option to make it "patient related" if necessary. It can be used by the providers when they make an order they can then send it to the nurse to complete. Lots of different ways for Tasks to be used

• User friendly
• Structure of the software
• paper less
• software is simple
• I can do almost all work with one software.

• Missing cloud-based services for data storage.
• It is Windows based. It needs to be updated to offer an Apple and iPad function with speech to text and Apple Pencil type functions.
• Updates for meds and pharmacies should be made monthly not quarterly.

• There needs to be a way to print patient visit summaries for a date range vs printing one summary for each appointment, one at a time.
• It would be helpful if the top row of the calendar, showing doctors/practitioners names, would remain on the screen when scrolling to the end of the day. Appointments get scheduled under the wrong doctor at times because the names disappear and columns get confused.
• There should be a way to view/print/download what has been paid, per patient, to the office in one place vs searching for payments under the Accounting Tab and payments tracked under Patient visits.

Usually they are very helpful. I would prefer they do some of the actual changes I am requesting instead of having me do the work. I feel that they could walk you through it, instead of letting you figure out the desired results on your own.

I haven't had to call too many times to get help with Office Ally but when I have had to call, I haven't always had the best customer service. It seems that I am bugging the person I reach when I call for technical support because I'm usually reminded that there are videos to watch for technical support help. On the flip side, there have been times that I called for help and was treated how you assume you'll be treated when you call for help - with grace, dignity, professionalism, and respect.

Track all hours and don't sign off on anything if you are not 100% happy.

I am not the office manager so I cannot tell why she chose to use Intergy EHR. I personally like Intergy EHR because it allows me to use it with Intergy EMR and track patients very fast and it saves the office a lot of time. If something goes wrong, someone can just call customer service and they are glad to help.

I used to use Best Notes. Best Notes was difficult to navigate and very inflexible. We used it in the early time of EHR/EMR, so that the software was not very useful. When I changed to Office Ally, we are so delighted to change it because again it is easily to navigate the software. There is minimum of learning curve than other software.

• Intergy has had a positive ROI. The financial tracking and tools have been easy to use and helped recover additional monies for practices.
• Claim Tracker allows practices to have a real time view of all unpaid claims.
• The E&M calculator helps providers choose the appropriate code for billing compliance.

• We are able to have appointments clearly scheduled weeks and months ahead of time so we save money by knowing when to have doctors come in or work elsewhere - we aren't having to pay a doctor to be here when there aren't patients scheduled.
• We are able to pay doctors based on the number of office visits they have had with patients vs having to pay a base salary for a doctor even if they did not see any patients.
