Power Diary vs. Qualifacts Insync

Power Diary is a useful practice management software however, in my opinion, their support is absolutely awful, in my experience, they stop responding at times and fail to take appropriate steps for customers where there is an issue, choosing instead to take their own path forward, rather than be humble and listen to what their clients need. In my experience, they have even gone so far as to label constructive feedback as being an attack on their character. To me, not professional at all.

Insync [Healthcare Solutions] is amazing for behavioral health settings. The customer support/help desk is very responsive. When I call someone answers within 3 minutes and spends as much time as I need resolving any questions. Establishing the medical record is simple with treatment planning easily accessible. Onboarding new staff is effortless, especially with the use of their video tutorials. My office assistant told me today, "I have worked with a lot of EMR's and this is by far the best ever". I totally agree!!

• Provides detailed instructions on how to use their services and also webinars on various topics to help grow your practice. They also check in via email and offer advice if you are having any issues with the system.
• Invoicing is simple and their system makes it easy to monitor payments received and outstanding.
• Writing client case notes and recording all administrative notes is a simple process.
• Client documents can be saved into client records, so everything is in one place and there is no need to keep hard copy records.
• They have templates (letters etc.) that can be accessed and used which saves time.
• They have a feature that assists with developing policies which I found helpful.
• They have a Facebook Page that allows Power Diary users to communicate, share tips etc.
• The system itself is user friendly and quite easy to navigate. If you need help, you can access the instructions provided by Power Diary.

• Easy launch from the scheduler to all aspects of patient chart
• Smooth processes from check-in to accounts receivable
• Individualized support, especially on the RCM side with Account Managers
• User-friendly interface and excellent email/phone support
• Ability to customize with the Implementation team
• On-site training - so very helpful!

• In my experience, support attitude and attendance to detail
• In my experience, listening to Customers
• In my experience, doing what they tell the world they do for their customers.
• In my opinion, protecting client data better

• We would love to be able to send reports via secure email (the functionality s there, but the other party needs the same software, and that is rare in our area
• We would love to have electronic visit verification integrated into the software - right now we need to use a 3rd party software package

We are shopping for a replacement software now.

I think Power Diary is relatively intuitive however of late, over development of certain features with insufficient user experience testing, and, in my opinion, no desire to resolve the concerns of customers shows me that Power Diary's business model is not customer centric, but self centric and most businesses with this ethos fail in time.

We have a very common behavioral health practice. We were stunned to learn that they did not have templates for common procedures. They create every customer system from scratch. That causes unnecessary delay and aggravation. Plus, you can't make any modifications after the fact. Whatever you decided on Day 1 you are stuck with.

This is the first time I have used this type of practice management system. I used the Specialist Homelessness Information Platform (SHIP) in my previous role, which made it easier for me to transition to using Power Diary.

• We love the ease of use, it really creates a smooth process between departments.
• We have had some issues with the billing, but it is partially staffing and partially training- we are still working with our staff and our representative from Insync to fix these errors, so it is difficult to put the blame on Insync [Healthcare Solutions]. I believe some of it is user error.
• The conflicting information we receive from Insync support has created a lot of issues in the billing department. I would like more consistency from their support team, as I have witnessed two people ask the same question, and get a completely different answer. Again, this could be a user error contributing to the confusion, but consistent responses would be helpful to solve the issues.
