PatientPop vs. Veradigm Practice Management

Great for getting POTENTIAL new patients, but there is definitely room for improvement. As an out-of-network office, it has proven to be difficult to get these new patients to commit to an appointment, many will schedule and then call the day before and cancel once they find out we do not take their insurance.

Although the EHR software industry is still developing, Allscripts has proven to be better than most.

• Some of the "canned" reports are wrong. We have reported issues to Allscripts multiple times and they never were interested in fixing the problem.
• The work and total RVU values that are assigned to each CPT code don't have a reference for the year so we have to keep changing them every year and overwrite the old ones.
• There is no option to load facility and non-facility values for total RVUs.

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.

The sales rep. disappears and the admin (onboarding) team will provide a list of things THEY need. Then you'll need to chase them down to see if they were received. Even if they were it could be weeks before next steps are taken. We gave them the benefit of the doubt but ultimately, they could pass muster. There is limited follow-through and absolutely no significant SEO or reputation management. Our website had fewer hits in two years than most get in a month. Again, we assumed it was on our side so we sought answers. The only person who ever answered a call or an email was the selling Rep. And then her response was to get someone to "reach out" to us. We can't even leave easily. I've been trying to exit this program for more than nine month and can't get a call back or returned email from anyone. When you do get a live person it's the usual," I'll have to get one of our senior members to call you back." When I explain that never happens they tell us there is no one who can talk right now

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.

Be careful with their aggressive sales tactics. Take the time you need, do not rush into such decisions for your business. There are many many other companies out there

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