This software is simple and easy to implement, administer, and operate, with the ability to transmit prescriptions with the touch of a button, saving valuable time.

None comes to mind. It works really well.

We adore Allscripts!

It's useful for a variety of things, and it's especially useful in situations at work.

Multiple functions (mostly scheduling and charting) cannot be performed in the same browser window.

Excellent Selection for our practice

Keri Ann

Doctors Pathology Services

We are so happy with the system. The implementation team at Allscripts helped us with the transition and we had some of the best staff from their company to train us on the product before we went live. The product is simple and easier to use which makes the workflow pretty smooth. Impressive, very nice.

We Hardly ever faced issues and it could be perhaps we are still exploring the system. Just some trouble with lag time and delayed responses but not too often to even notice. We can brush off these.

Complex but easy to customise.

Nicole

Health, Wellness and Fitness

I appreciate being able to customize the software myself, although the process isn't always straightforward.

The system can be confusing at times.

Strong and Robust tool

Noel

It appears to be safe; there are several features and options, ranging from scheduling to charting in a variety of fields.

It might take several clicks to get to the final aim we're attempting to achieve, and historical notes can be difficult to find at times.

Happy we signed the contract

The service is unmatchable. They immediately update information and you can easily add new users to the software. We are happy and will be renewing our contract.

Nothing.

Easy to learn

Autumn

Envision Eye Care

It is very easy to access all the different EMR tools. You don't need to take multiple steps to get through them. You can prescribe medication through it too and send it straight to the pharmacy with the connected system.

Great centralized program

Samantha

User-friendly and lets you save document information so doctors can communicate through notes and memos. The support staff is also updated on the patient's status.

It glitches sometimes.
