CharmHealth vs AdvancedMD EHR: Which is a better fit?

Matthew: Hi. My name is Matthew. I'm a pediatrician, and I give ChARM EHR a rating of five. We've looked at a number of different EHRs in our quest for a sophisticated but easy-to-use program. We were using Practice Fusion, but after the cost got prohibitive and the software not really that functional, we started looking for some other avenues. We looked at Kareo, we looked at AdvancedMD, and we looked at Amazing Charts. Those were the three big ones that we looked at. All of them were very good, but they were either cost-prohibitive or too complex and not easy to use via the scheduler or to be putting in notes. ChARM EHR was one of the ones that we looked at, and it really fit the bill perfectly. It's, was easily customizable, and the cost, because we have a small practice, was very low. It did what we had to do. It was very user-friendly. The scheduler was easy to use. Plus, it gave me an app on my phone to look at my schedule on a daily basis. Couldn't ask for any more than that. ChARM was very easy to implement in the office since it was cloud-based. We were able to input most of the data very, very easily since we have a small practice, but the user interface was very user-friendly. It didn't require a lot of time, and because it was cloud-based, it could be done from various locations, both from my office and from my receptionist's home if we had to. So the onboarding and the implementation was very, very quick and easy. We found ChARM EHR to be a good fit for our practice, because it was relatively small, and the cost was minimum. However, if your practice is a large practice, the cost may get prohibitive. The ChARM EHR program is very easily user-friendly. It's customizable, and it is pinpointed for any particular practice, whether it be pediatrics, family medicine, general medicine. The varied templates that are there are easily customizable. Their software support is excellent. They get back to you very quickly. So I really recommend it highly for anyone that has a practice that is relatively small, that needs a user-friendly program, and it's easily customizable.

I give AdvancedMD EHR five out of five. Prior to using AdvancedMD EHR, we were using Kareo EHR as well as Practice Fusion. The major issues with both of those EHRs for our clients was their lack of ability to be flexible when it came to the needs of the practices. For example, customizable note templates or something that is really important to practices and both of those EHRs struggle to provide that. They also lacked some sophistication when it came to integrations and even support in setting them up. I recommend AdvancedMD EHR to my clients based on its extreme flexibility and being able to customize to the practices needs. Everything from scheduling to prescription management to note templates, making it a seamless process both for patients and the practice as well. Getting started with AdvancedMD EHR definitely has a learning curve. Because it is so customizable, there's a lot to learn. There's a lot of features that need to be understood by both the practice, clinical staff as well as the administrative staff. But once those learning curves are overcome, the software is fantastic. My advice for practices looking to get onto AdvancedMD EHR is to work with an administrator that has experience on the software. It will make the learning curve a little bit easier, and also give the practice an idea of how the system should be configured based on their needs. Also, making sure that you're taking full advantage of the training time and working with your trainer beforehand to make sure that you have a good roadmap of where you're starting, where you're ending, and what are the most important features for your practice.
