Best for any medical clinic that is connected to a major medical center. Not good for stand-alone clinics or an EMR system in Spanish.

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.

Epic
  • One centralized location for medical records review, retrieval, additions/updates, etc.
  • User-friendly application.
  • Well know in the field, therefore training is easier than with a foreign (unknown) system.

  • 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.

The Company normally responds to most requests. At times, however, the response times are longer than expected.

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.

Better integration and workflow with multidisciplinary clinics. More hospitals have EPIC. Mobile use is easy - more platforms allow us to access data.

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.
