Altera Digital Health
This is well suited for small business needs where are only a handful of users need an EHR to perform their usual tasks such as patient charting etc. Allscripts Sunrise EHR can be challenging to use sometimes because of the slow processing speed, which may test your patience and can lead to frustration.

Meditech
Meditech is well-suited to small, independent hospitals requiring a flexible, mostly full-featured EHR with good support. The Expanse upgrade was a significant step forward, and brought the system into the modern world of touch devices while reducing clinician documentation burden.

Cons
Altera Digital Health
  • Speed can be improved as I face lagging and freezing issues with it.
  • Reviewing notes from older visits is a little tricky as it requires a lot of clicks.
  • The size of the EHR screen is not well optimized with your computer screen, and hence the fonts look very small.

Meditech
  • Poor reporting
  • Difficult to view grid data, such as complete medication history
  • A lot of interfacing with its own product due to code differences
