Veradigm Practice Management vs. Weave

Although the EHR software industry is still developing, Allscripts has proven to be better than most.

Weave integrates with Nextech which is a nice tech stack setup for phone, EMR, text messaging, appointment reminders, voicemail, etc. It would also work well for small medical practices that can use it as an all-in-one system and aren't super worried about tracking where patient leads are coming from (Weave is not a CRM or marketing automation platform). For larger, more complex organizations, they may find a greater need for enhanced integrations with a CRM or marketing automation platform which is not a strong suit of Weave

• Some of the "canned" reports are wrong. We have reported issues to Allscripts multiple times and they never were interested in fixing the problem.
• The work and total RVU values that are assigned to each CPT code don't have a reference for the year so we have to keep changing them every year and overwrite the old ones.
• There is no option to load facility and non-facility values for total RVUs.

Incentivized

• Analytics and Reporting
• Email Communications
• System Reliability

Moving away from paper reports is a little hard at first like ripping off a bandaid, but once you're fully integrated, it's just so much easier to see all your work over time and access reports, schedules, and all pertinent employment information for each patient. Not having to deal with paper files just changes the office completely.

I'm actually not sure if we call Allscripts support or our own support team with superusers. There never seems to be a problem that can't be fixed right away. The biggest problem you can have is when you start a report when the patient hasn't been checked in. I know how to fix it myself now, but it takes a few minutes with support when you need them to back it out.

Centricity is much more difficult to get support for in my experience.

Better phone systems than Comcast. More streamlined and easier to use than Solutionreach with a more focused feature set. Integrates with Nextech. Solutionreach does have the best custom appointment reminders and recall email marketing functionality in the HIPPA-compliant industry, in my experience
