Cloud 9 Software vs. Dentostack vs. Practice Fusion

Charting is easy. Clicking on all that tabs at each appointment. That makes it a lot quicker when charting. I would like to see a new tab to view X-rays. When I have to scroll through all the photos to view when we took the last x-rays, it’s a lot because we take photos at every appointment.

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.

• I wish the check out process could be a little more simplified.
• I feel I do a lot more clicking with the mouse with opening and closing screens.
• When clicking on a patient in the schedule I wish it showed who I'm calling to verify and appointment without opening the patients chart.

• Have Physician Assistant as a provider status.

Easy to use!

Easy peasy! Easy to navigate and start using from day one!

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.

I have spoken to several support members along the way, and everyone is super helpful and exited to find a solution. Everyone is courtesy and patient. I had a problem that I could not figure out on my own and just with my description, I was given clear step by step instructions to get it solved!

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.

Better training/trainors

The non-server version of Ortho2 we were already using would have cost a significant amount to merge our three separate office databases. Cloud 9 already had parameters set to be able to do this. All of our documents and images transferred over with just minor issues- like where would our online forms go that Cloud 9 did not have an automatic home for. Cloud 9, on the other hand, does not have nifty image layout options, their letter editor is a cranky non-Word program I do not like, and creating custom reports is definitely easier in Ortho2.

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.

• It has also made billing and insurance claims easier.

• CONS -- They have overcharged me and it has cost me money

• CONS--They have cost me money with the time I've wasted to follow up on my own tickets that they refuse to follow up with
