    Templates are customizable and you can take pictures directly into a patient's chart. DrChrono is less appropriate for this reason: they have been working on enrolling my company for Medicare electronic billing for [seven months]. [As a result], I have been unable to bill for any Medicare patients for [seven months]. The only person I have talked to was in India [and] ([the] email address ended in .india). I have had to call Medicare to try to figure out how to complete the enrollment process, [and I ended up with this response from Medicare: "DrChrono needs to [stop being lazy and do something]!." I lost [a] significant [amount of] money. [...]

    Zelta is a good tool for companies currently utilizing multiple software platforms to create and monitor clinical trial information. Due to the price, it is best suited for large pharmaceutical manufacturers with active pipelines and high R&D spend. Zelta's value is more limited to smaller, more focused companies.

    Cons
    DrChrono
    • [Onboarding] trainers and tech support do not know the program.
    • [All] DrChrono calls are from blocked, [unknown], or their personal numbers. [Looking] at [each] caller ID, you have to answer every call because they do not register as DrChrono.
    • DrChrono [uses] [Google] phone and [I could] not understand what [a] trainer [said] [when I called them]. [I could not hear what the trainer said] over the noise of other conversations on [Google] phone.
    • [I] [had] absolutely no way of talking to tech support in person.
    • [Tech] support tickets [are] unanswered.
    • [They] do not know how to enroll providers to bill Medicare electronically.
    • [There was] absolutely no accountability.
    • [The] platform was constantly down [and was very frustrating].
    • [There was a] consistently, delayed submission.
    • [Every] day, [I got] an email about a problem that they are working on.
    • [Weekly] issues for platform [was] addressed for slowness.
    • Tech support needs [to have professional people answering tech problems, needs to be reliable, and be responsive whenever someone has issues].
    • [The] tutorial videos [for DrChrono] are from several years [ago] and no longer apply to the [most] current platform layout.
    • [The] help browser [is] nonfunctional.
    • [Tech support is not well trained. You can not talk to anyone in person and they often do not answer tech tickets. Onboard trainers do not know their system. Customer often figures out the answers before the training rep. Between the accent and the noise of Google phone, my entire training session was asking her to repeat what she said. When they are rated lowest of the group for tech support, it is for a reason].

    • We cannot have multiple study accesses for a study in the studies supported by Zelta. eg. Coder and Data manager.
    • Though all the study-build related errors are flagged on the study-build page, some errors like incorrect dynamics applied, which eventually affects the subject PDF extraction, reports, etc.
    • When the study is imported from another Zelta studies, certain attributes remain running in the background even if it seems to be disabled.

    Zelta has many different functionalities as well as modules that can be used depending on what the sponsor wants. I like that they are optional so that when building a study, you can give the sponsor options if they want them or not. Many of the optional models I like to use (Training Tracking for example) as they make tracking Site training so much easier than sending training forms out.

    Our organization has been using both Zelta and in-house applications. The main considerations on which one to use for a particular study is time to get the databases running, cost, and ease of use. For some studies, the time and cost of using Zelta are negative factors, and an in-house system is selected.

    Online Training
    DrChrono
    When being trained on the billing program, rather than start at the beginning and "TRAIN HOW TO USE THE PROGRAM" the trainer kept asking me what questions I had. I kept saying I don't know what I don't know. Her response was, ok, were done then. You don't have anymore questions. The only thing I could think to do was ask her to explain each item in each drop down box, but she would just read out loud the drop down choices and ask what questions I had. This pretty much sums up their training.

    TheraOffice has the best tech support and onboarding training. WebPT is also good, but their charting templates lack customization. RehabOptima and Casamba are straight forward and reliable. I am currently stuck with DrChrono.

    It was easier to understand the usability of the software [Zelta]. For our engineers [it] was easier to migrate our data, and fully set up everything. We found out that comparing other software[s], this one is safe, easy to use, has more functionalities, [and it's] easier to work with team members everywhere making clinical trials more efficient.

    Return on Investment
    DrChrono
    • Negative: I have lost reimbursement due to the time for tech support to address ticket and the max claims submission time.
    • Negative: I have [not had any medicare revenue for seven months] due to DrChrono not knowing how to enroll for Medicare Electronic Billing. This issue still has not been resolved.
    • Negative: Lost time due to the platform being down or running slow.
    • Negative: Slow claims processing.
    • Negative: DrChrono needs [qualified] tech support, [quality] [for] onboard training, [timely] response to technical issues, [and timely] response to billing issues.

    • Time savings regarding how long it takes to make an EDC Live.
    • Reduced EDC Go Live time by at least half (from 60 days to 30).
    • Was able to take an EDC live in 14 days on a few occasions.
    • Seamless RTSM IRT integration without adding time to Go Live.
