InterSystems TrakCare vs. Kareo EHR

Well suited if you have no developers and need something up quickly to let users get into patient data. But if you want to go beyond the layout, organization, or access of the application, it’s an uphill battle and doesn’t scale at all. If you want to be able to evolve the product, it’s not easy whatsoever

Kareo is not an appropriate application for any real-world clinical need. It is highly unreliable, crashing frequently, and often becomes frozen. It also cannot ingest data from Therapy Notes, which was a promised feature of the platform according to the sales team. Additionally, when we ran into reliability issues (every day, with every clinician at the practice, across a dozen different office locations with different internet service providers) we were not offered the ability to cancel our contract. Until the reliability issues are fixed Kareo is not well-suited to any use case because it does not work.

• Quickly get a front end working into patient indexes.
• Integrates with InterSystems products.
• Works with IE well.

• Custom JavaScript/HTML/CSS support is almost nonexistent.
• Source control has to rely on serialization of entire compiled package of TrakCare instead of individual edited files.
• Transformations should handle everything instead of just non system default code.

Kareo was a massive waste of money. It's an unreliable product without promised features and sold by a disingenuous sales team. We will stick to reliable services like Doxy, Therapy Notes, etc.

The user interface is fine but it the app constantly freezes or crashes.

InterSystems has great support, however TrakCare is a different experience and their knowledge of that product is far more limited. This is shown through the lack of documentation of the product.

I selected Kareo EHR because it was a lot simpler to use and the customer service was definitely better. Every representative I have spoken to has been super friendly and helpful.

• Quick results for a new company.
• Costing exponentially more to maintain as we evolve the product.

Incentivized

• We have negative reviews as we were sold a product that left out some key variables. Things we really needed to make the transition.
• I don't think KAREO is good for small business (0-10 employees) because their prices for additional or standard features is steep. They charge by the therapist to boot and it is steep!
• Again ASK questions; do a test run; ask about the migration of your data and its charges.
• You sign with them you will be locked into a 12 month contract with no out clause. If they are costing you the money you have to stay with them.
