    User Testimonials

    AdvancedMD
    It would be well suited for an initial user. If you are starting a practice and have nothing in place, it might be great. However, if you are a current EMR user of a different platform and have more than a hundred patients; don’t waste your time. This is a hands-off company that, in my opinion, will do nothing to support your efforts. We have a practice of 11,000 patients and would have had to hire 2 FTE’s to print all the patient data and upload it individually.

    Pros
    AdvancedMD
    • They provide access to their underlying tables via Open Database Connection (ODBC). This streamlines business intelligence processes greatly.
    • The "canned"/"stock" business intelligence tool (Advanced Insight) is very useful.
    • Our dedicated customer support representative (Breah Teed) has exceeded our expectations.

    Cons
    AdvancedMD
    • Adding and Deleting provider columns complicated.
    • Would have loved to have one point of contact at all times and have that person answer on the third ring (see, this is me really reaching--because as far as my job functions were concerned, the product was absolutely fantastic. I have no complaints).
    • Working electronic insurance error reports in the system was a nightmare.

    • Up to date use of the Documentation side of the EHR
    • The patient portal side of the EHR needs to be fully implemented
    • After updates we have issues or errors.

    Overall, I think ADP AdvancedMD is very user friendly and constantly improves as new releases come out.

    Support Rating
    AdvancedMD
    I've only reached out a couple of times and after being bounced around a few times I simply asked for our internal team to look into the particular question I had. I believe they had some turnover at the time but my experience wasn't great.

    Alternatives Considered
    AdvancedMD
    ADP AMD is much easier to learn and navigate than most all of the systems I have worked with, including Greenway and Centricity. The only thing I liked better in Centricity was the ability to run more customized reports, but overall, I would choose AMD any day over those two.

    Return on Investment
    AdvancedMD
    • We are paying over 5K for absolutely nothing.
    • We believe this company does not concern itself with the end-user.
    • We identified a large lack of ethics in the organization.
