Azalea Health vs Kipu: Which is a better fit?

Daphne: Hey, I'm Daphne. I'm an LPN at Dr. Ray's office. We have five employees currently, and we give Azalea rating of five. We had SOAPware. It was very basic and just wasn't able to expand much, and they ended up phasing out. So this is what we found when we were looking for something new. We chose Azalea because it's priced properly for a small company that doesn't need something really expensive and doesn't have a lot of employees. It helps with our patient load. We don't need something that has a lot of meaningful use, just enough to cover our PCMH and primary care first. And the price was right, and they worked with us in the beginning, gave us a good introduction price. It was pretty easy. They helped us. They came, they talked to us. There was modules and we can always reach out and ask questions. They helped us set up a bunch of our templates in the beginning so we didn't have to figure it out for ourselves. I think they should give it a try. I mean, it has more options than we have. We have different packages, so we have a smaller one, but they have packages for bigger companies too, so I think it's a one size fits all.

Tammy E.: My name is Tammy. I am the Executive Director of Legends Treatment Center in Pittsburgh. We have about 200 people that work for Legends, all of the Legends put together. My rating for Kipu is five. We use Kipu for pretty much everything when it comes to our client base for our outpatient. We use Kipu for our notes. Billing is able to go in and check on our notes to see who has come, who hasn't. I go in and I do audit checks. I sign off on notes. We use Kipu a lot. Our inpatient, we can tell where a person is, what floor, what room, if there's an emergency. We use it to communicate back and forth between staff. Kipu is easy to use. When I started this position, I didn't really have anyone to train. I've used a lot of different EMR systems in my career, and Kipu is literally the absolute easiest EMR to use when it comes to using it for client base. There is no negative about Kipu. I like everything about it.
