Cerner Practice Management vs. Kareo Engage

Well suited in the clinical setting although a little tedious. Not suited in many other places.

The features Kareo marketing offers are great, however, they need to be worked on to make sure they are functioning correctly. It should not take over 3 months of working on the issue to still not have an answer or solution.

• Scheduling - I personally enjoy the ease of use with the solution. It also has a great "memory" as to patient rescheduling, no shows, etc. Being able to create multiple schedules to reflect different practitioners is such a major plus in this system.
• Customization - I am able to create Super-bills, Global Periods, and Insurance Details pertinent to each patient and not have to RECREATE them every time like I had to in past systems.
• EOB - an added bonus is the ability for the system to check EOB ahead of time. This is a HUGE time saving in an office!

• Patient communications: being able to send patients text messages has been a great benefit.
• Kareo sends out appointment reminders for us which saves our employees time.

• Only seems applicable for small organizations.

• There are currently some issues with the survey feature that we have not been able to open, view, or publish the survey. This has been going on for 3 months and there has been no resolution.
• It would be nice to be able to filter who is receiving a survey so patients do not get them every time they have a visit.

Everything within the system works smoothly, it’s just time-consuming and could be a bit more simplistic.

Other than speaking with someone about the issues we have had, I don't believe that anyone is actually working on a fix for our problem. If I can not open, view, and publish surveys when we receive them then part of the software is not working. They don't mind charging me every month for a service that is not functioning correctly.

I personally would use this system over any other systems currently on the market. Athena has a nice product...however, it can be quite expensive and the colors are draining on the eyes. eClinical Works also has a system that is comparable, but the customization I found wasn't as easy as the Cerner product

We were very satisfied with Demand Force but switched to Kareo because of the price. and it put all of our platforms with one company. I would say Demand Force was a better product, however, for the price, Kareo is a great option if the engineers could work the bugs out.

• We have not been using it long enough to know an answer to this.
