AMS Software vs. LigoLab LIS & RCM Operating Platform vs. Practice Fusion

It offers a very helpful and surcure platform and can be easy to use once you get use to the platform.

I'd highly recommend LigoLab for any lab environment looking to raise the efficiency of their daily workflow processes. A lot of other platforms require a bit of legwork to fit into a given workflow, but LigoLab is robust and adaptable with ample customer support that will allow you to find the most optimal solution to any issues you're facing. I would recommend it to any smaller lab focusing on anatomic pathology/molecular testing.

The best scenario is a small non-profit clinic who needs a great EMR but cannot afford one like EPIC. I might also recommend this to colleagues who are starting a small business because I think PF would be a good, easy, and more affordable to get up and running. I think this EMR makes less sense in the setting of large academic institutions who need lots of easily manipulable data and a huge amount of support.

• Document storage- You can upload documents and attach them to specific patients. As well as flag documents that need to be signed, and assign them to specific doctors.
• Charting- Very detailed integration for charting.
• Reporting- We really enjoy the reports we can pull from within the software.

Incentivized

• More powerful and new tools would be helpful
• A mobile app would be more convient

• Further customizability of certain core sections to display more information would be useful. There are some times when my users would like to have certain features or implementations available, but due to the restrictive nature of core functionality, these aren't easily configured or possible at times.
• Speed of platform. Due to how the program is implemented, booting it up can take some time on the user end though it is fine once someone enters the LIS environment. Ideally, we'd have faster load times for the program as that is the biggest complaint I receive from our doctors who use multiple systems on a daily basis.

Incentivized

• Have Physician Assistant as a provider status.
• Make the notes section of each patients account displays towards the top of page and not the bottom.

In my opinion and experience, they have a lack of customization so you have to constantly create hacks to make their system work for your practice.

We always get a return call within the time stated. There are many available topics on the forum and it is often easy to find the issue you are seeking more information on. When we have tried the live chat feature we have been satisfied with the timeliness and response.

NextGen is hard to use as far as medical records. Practice Fusion is user friendly. There is a great knowledge base for questions asked. Practice Fusion takes all the guess work out of the day.

• Since we've implemented the platform we've been able to provide our services to more clients by presenting them with a highly functional reporting platform that will efficiently distribute finalized reports to them directly. The ease of access on the platform has made our workflows more efficient and allowed us to reduce turnaround time from receipt of a specimen to final report release.
