AdvancedMD vs. Valant EHR

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.

Valant is a great space for front office to use in a patient/medical setting. I think it's best used on a small scale than a large scale. I have found it challenging at times with multiple locations and with about 3000 patients to keep track. Valant is excellent at record keeping, and communicating with the client via the patient portal. However, due to size and limited functionality - this would be hard to maintain for a larger scale.

• 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.

Incentivized

• User Friendly - Valant is user friendly and easy to navigate
• Record Keeping - it allows you to upload docs and files within the patient charts to keep on file at all times.
• Scheduling - Easy to view and make/edit appointments
• Access Management - easy to set features viewable by specific people only such as physicians versus nonclinical
• Reporting - lots of reporting that can be used for a multitude of things from payment billing to notes, etc

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• BILLING- This is all Caps - There can be room for improvement in terms of billing efficiency
• Automatic Reporting - this would be beneficial to set up or have as a feature
• Billing Dashboard - to view all accounts that have matured or are outstanding
• Batch Posting - be it insurances or specific patients. Even Superbills cannot be "chosen" by specific people - it's all clients with balances that are active or no balances and all charges but nothing that says you want statements for say these 20 people.
• Appointment Recording - this could be more efficient versus one by one processing.

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

It's very user friendly. The workspace is big, easy to read and navigate. Also, the resource knowledge base is great for when you have questions and there are several videos and guides for how to use or do something. I have had less than a year of using it and adopted it pretty quickly within the first 3 months.

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.

I have been through implementation of ADP AdvancedMD at other companies and it went smoothly

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.

• 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.

• Labor efficiency - this has been negative. Billing has had a lot of manual processes that unfortunately take up a lot of man hours - if this were improved, I could see a ROI that's positive
• Valant has been great at certain features including the "waitlist" to capture patients and improve our chances for revenue being increased
