Veradigm EHR vs. Veradigm Practice Management

Allscripts' multitude of choices cover a vast amount of options in order to customize to a general family practice or even a specialty practice. However, there are some specialties, such as opthamology, for which Allscripts has not created templates.

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.

We selected Allscripts primarily for its exceptional reviews and affordability in the EHR marketplace. While Allscripts may not be the best EHR overall, it definitely meets the demands of the seting I practice in. Allscripts is an innovative software and we are pleased to have chosen this EHR for our group

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

• I was not a part of decision making, so I have no idea about this.

• 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.
