Some of the key questions include functionality of the EHR in today's electronic marketplace. Also customer support ratings are important due to many ongoing difficulties previously experienced with older EHRs. Allscripts is well suited to the outpatient setting where many preformed templates provide a comprehensive overview of patients. Additionally, Allscripts' link with the imaging portal PACS is second to none.

Manages all your patient data in one place Uses iPad apps as well as desktop applications Read full review Veradigm (formerly Allscripts)
Intuitive with documenting office visits Easy to navigate around the screens when researching patient information Able to customize lots of things throughout the program to work with requested workflows Debbie Haro Clinical Director/Director of EHR Operations
Read full review Cons There is quite a bit to learn, even if you have experience with other EHR systems like I did, and required our staff and providers time and patience to get accustomed to it. It may be helpful for the Chirotouch team to develop a curriculum of sorts to navigate practices through learning the system in a logical way. The EHR system is higher in price than other comparable systems, especially with all the add-ons - it would be nice if Chirotouch were a little more transparent about what you get when purchasing the item off the shelf, and, more importantly, what features are not included without a package upgrade. The graphic layout and color scheme isn't as "pretty" as other EHR systems I've worked with, and actually looks quite outdated. It might be worthwhile for Chirotouch to work with graphic designers to make the interface a little more aesthetically pleasing. Read full review Veradigm (formerly Allscripts)
Allscripts could use improvement with stability. Once in awhile, the software would freeze upon loading images saved from radiology or lab reports. It frequently had trouble with login credentials. Improve the clarity of scanned images in patient's EHR. Conversability with other platforms, like Cerner, Epic, and McKesson. Improve the way InterQual loads review platform as well as emailing hospital case manager feature.

Usability It is fine once it is up and running, but the customization takes a long time, does not have some things setup in advance that seem very straight forward, and for most people the learning curve is very high for learning the system even once it is properly setup and customized. However, it is "fine" not particularly impressive. Additionally, their customer support and training is substandard.

Reliability and Availability Sometimes we get weird error messages. We have been having a problem with our check-in computer and ChiroTouch hasn't been able to figure out the problem

Performance Generally we never have problems with speed. If we have, it's been because we needed to perform software updates, and then it went back to working quickly.

Online Training The particular person we were assigned was not very well versed in the software. Several things we asked about we were told we not possible, and then I later figure out how to do them by myself after getting to know the software. I guess that is what comes from trainers who use the system in theory but not in an actual office. They are basically reading off a script that guides you how to set things up, nothing more. If she didn't know the answer, she didn't research it, she just told us it wasn't possible. However, it was a multi-session training spread out over a couple weeks and they did walk you through all the basics. It does take a lot of customization, so this was appreciated. It would have been very intimidating to do without guided support sessions.

Alternatives Considered We had been using medisoft before and it wasn't organized enough or clear enough for insurance billing, coding and doctors notes. Chirotouch solved all of these problems with the additional bonus of being customizable

It was already in use when I was hired. I have mostly figured it out just messing around with it in my earlier spare time.
Read full review Scalability It's reliable, though occasionally has connectivity issues. Their support says it's our computing issue, not the software, but we don't have similar problems with other software. Definitely needs to be backed up daily. We use ChiroTouch's backup and it works well

Return on Investment ChiroTouch helps cut out errors that cause delays in insurance payments which is always good for the bottom line. ChiroTouch's scheduling and text reminders help us keep the patient notified of upcoming appointments. We love the feature that allows us to set it and forget it ex: retention texts, b-day texts, mass notification texts. Read full review Veradigm (formerly Allscripts)
