Medical practices operating on tight budgets are often misled by smart marketing tactics and in most cases, they end up with an EMR Software that does not suit them at all. Their search horizon gets very limited from the start and they don’t even consider some very viable options.
For most physicians, the price may be the deciding factor in the selection and implementation of an Electronic Medical Records (EMR) Software in their practices, although there are hundreds of other features they must look into before settling with specific software.
To make the EMR selection and purchase decision easier for you, experts at EMRSystems have put together a completely non-biased comparison between two of the leading EMR software vendors.
EMR Software Vendors Comparison
The two vendors under consideration today are AdvancedMD EMR Software and Kareo Clinical EHR Software.
AdvancedMD EMR Software
AdvancedMD is a Cloud-based EMR and Medical Practice Management solutions provider, providing its users with industrial-grade computing experience with renowned processing speed, secure data access, and effective customer support. Due to its web-based nature, it does not require any heavy setups or installations. Just a basic internet connection strong enough to handle the data flow without interruptions would work.
Some of the features of AdvancedMD include Patient Scheduling, Clinical Documentation, e-Prescribing (e-Rx), Revenue Cycle Management (RCM), and Financial Data Reporting. The software is updated regularly to cater to changing medical trends and provides HIPAA compliance.
Kareo Clinical EMR Software
Kareo Clinical is another Cloud-based Health IT solutions provider, offering Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Practice Management (PM) services. The company also incorporates quality and dependable Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) services. In addition, the Kareo Clinical EHR is ICD-10 ready and Meaningful Use (MU) Stage 2 Certified.
This EMR software is built to be highly customizable and hence easy to use. Besides the basic EMR functionality, Kareo offers a couple of integrated features too. These include medical charting, dashboards, electronic superbills, e-prescribing, and a Patient Portal. The access to the software is completely secure and complies with HIPAA requirements.
