ChiroTouch vs. OneVPN vs. OpenVPN Access Server

ChiroTouch has helped us maintain more accurate records, notes, billing, and the text reminders help to ensure the patients remember their appointment which keeps our numbers good.

OpenVPN is great for anyone who needs to access internal company resources while away from the office. For us, it's useful for our office staff if they need to work from home for a day or are at a work conference. I can see where it would not be helpful if you didn't store much on your intranet, but we do, so it's very helpful.

• Allows for a lot of customization that can make the software work well for small and large practices
• Can really replace anything you would normally put in a paper chart or use other programs for, with a few exceptions.
• Manages all your patient data in one place
• Uses iPad apps as well as desktop applications

Incentivized

• Secure
• Easy setup
• 2 free users
• automatic updates

• 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• The graphic layout and color scheme isn't as "pretty" as other EHR systems I've worked with, and actually looks quite outdated.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.

• None, it accomplishes everything we need it for.

ChiroTouch has the best customer service I have ever dealt with. They software literally makes my life easier and the office runs smoothly

Incentivized

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.

We've never had any issues with usability. The UI is very intuitive, and our general user base (which is not very tech-savvy) can use OpenVPN with two clicks since we have SAML set up. It's the easiest thing ever for them, and I don't know how we'd even begin to improve on it.

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

Incentivized

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.

A+ Customer Support in all areas of ChiroTouch!

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.

If you are not happy with your trainer, ask for someone new.

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

We found OpenVPN to be more cost-effective vs Azure. In addition, it was easier to install, deploy, and manage

Incentivized

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

• 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.

• Only 2 free users, it would be nice if they would expand to 5.
• Easy way to establish a VPN backbone between two locations
• Great for work at home or BCP events.
