Review Source R Reviewer Physician/Owner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Frank A. Katz, MD Althea EHR review." October 16, 2023 5.0 Positive. I don’t use the full scope of the EHR at this time but the eRx function is working very well. Pros eRx function. The State of California requires eRx for all prescriptions. Cons Nothing specific. It does seem to have some troubleshooting at times but the technological support is there when I need it. \[sensitive content hidden\] has been extremely helpful and communicative when problems arise. He is easily reached via e-mail or telephone…and is responsive.\*\*\*one request I have is to implement a function where I can communicate with pharmacies via text/note that has nothing to do with a specific Rx. For instance, a pharmacy would have a question about something and I couldn’t respond unless I was sending a Rx.

Responsive support team. Beautiful product. Cons In order to point out some thing that I like least about this EHR, admittedly, this is difficult… But if I had to choose, I would say the inability to see both the list of problems and medications in a single window. When the list of medications in the list of problems is long, I do need to scroll up and down. It's not a very big deal however.
