Prime Suite EHR vs. Veradigm EHR

PrimeSuite is great for a practice that has knowledgeable billing staff and a hands-on approach to billing; it is not ideal for those who need something more automated. You can customize PrimeSuite to prevent posting errors at charge entry and to catch some common mistakes. However, these must be set up by someone who knows what those errors are, and as payers change their requirements, they must be updated.

Some of the key questions include functionality of the EHR in today's electronic marketplace. Also customer support ratings are important due to many ongoing difficulties previously experienced with older EHRs. Allscripts is well suited to the outpatient setting where many preformed templates provide a comprehensive overview of patients. Additionally, Allscripts' link with the imaging portal PACS is second to none.

• Speed, it continues getting slower and slower with each new upgrade.
• Prime Suite does not use the screen space very effectively. On larger monitors with higher resolution, there is a LOT of wasted space.
• Strange errors pop up that give little to no useful information about what the issue is, and the typical response from support is to uninstall and reinstall the programs on the workstation.

• Allscripts could use improvement with stability. Once in awhile, the software would freeze upon loading images saved from radiology or lab reports. It frequently had trouble with login credentials.
• Improve the clarity of scanned images in patient's EHR.
• Conversability with other platforms, like Cerner, Epic, and McKesson.
• Improve the way InterQual loads review platform as well as emailing hospital case manager feature.

I liked PracticeAdmin for the way it showed key metrics and the simplicity of the software. However, you get what you pay for, and PrimeSuite has so much more functionality than PracticeAdmin ever did. I prefer the reporting, the options available in setup, just the overall customization you can do with PrimeSuite to that of other platforms.

It was already in use when I was hired. I have mostly figured it out just messing around with it in my earlier spare time.

• I was not a part of decision making, so I have no idea about this.
