Kareo Practice Management vs. Power Diary

I can't imagine who it is appropriate for- unless you could care less if you get prescription refill requests from pharmacies, send portal messages to patients but they have no clue they have a new message to read. It's not ideal for large or small practices. Allow them to overbook your schedule with "new patients" that are on insurance plans you don't even accept for a 15 minute time interval...So if this the flow of your practice- this is the EHR for you. Otherwise, steer clear.

The most important thing is that I feel confident that my client records are kept secure and private, and that Power Diary has strict security and privacy measures in place
and compliance with relevant legislative and regulatory requirements. Data is
encrypted, and two factor authentication is required to access the system. I can't think of any scenarios where it would be less appropriate to use.

• The integration with the clearing house is excellent.

• It does not auto balance accounts which would be helpful for us when patient's have a credit on one line but then a balance on another line.
• The reports could be broken down a little more detailed

• When I schedule supervision/meetings etc. in the calendar, it only shows my practice addresses and I have not been able to work out how to add the meeting address. I just add it to the notes section.
• I worked as a standby counsellor for a corporate event and was required to support multiple students if necessary. I had to invoice the corporation and add them as a client. PD is more suited to adding individual clients. I would be great to improve this.

Kareo is plain and simple. NextGen always says you get what you pay for, however, NextGen is expensive for anyone and Kareo does the same thing for a fraction of the cost. Kareo gives our time management back to the office personnel. Everything is user-friendly, which NextGen could be if it didn't have so many steps to complete on task.
