Allscripts EMR Software

so good

Pros

Running charts are available, which can be a prominent feature of Allscripts EMR Software.

Cons

A few glitches here and there but no major ones that hinder our workflow.

Easy Charting

Pros

I was skeptical of going electronic but that’s the need of the hour and so we did. We chose Allscripts mainly because of its ease of use. Customization, charting and referrals have never been easier for us. I like how smoothly we can send out e-prescriptions to the pharmacies.

Cons

Upgrades are done frequently which for me is overwhelming for someone who has used paper charts throughout his life. However, their customer support is always there to assist us with any challenges we face.

About the software

Pros

I like how easy it is to keep track of patient progress with Allscripts. Unlike many EMR companies I have used, Allscripts always considers our suggestions while rolling out any updates. This goes to show that they truly care about their customers. I like how we can see the history of the past 5 patients that we prescribed the medicines too. The scheduler is simple and effective.

Cons

The only issue I am facing is with the untimely updates that hinder our daily tasks. If only they could roll out updates after business hours that would be great.

Easy to use

Pros

Allscripts EMR Software can keep a running graph for patients by separating it into classifications of MD notes, approvals, and even a running table on tasks/notes back and forward between providers/nurses or medical attendants. It solves the paper charts problem for us and has everything in one system which makes it easier to use.

Cons

The software was lacking at certain points in the past but they have greatly improved it and it keeps on updating.

More than Satisfactory

Pros

We have been with the company for more than a decade and can safely say that it has evolved with time towards betterment. Allscripts EMR is intuitive and the system is accredited with all the necessary regulations and regulatory bodies. It’s easy to maneuver. Editions and changes can be made easily instead of discarding a certain template and restarting it from scratch.  This feature especially comes in handy for new hires.

Cons

If they could mirror the same features in the offline system as they have in their online one that would be a great benefit to us.

Security

Pros

This product has all the latest security measures in place which makes it secure for me to send out any referrals. Allscripts EMR is updated with all the latest accreditation and government regulations. Apart from that, it is easy to maneuver and the overall workflow is very efficient that streamlines the workflow.

Cons

One drawback that I found out was its inability to run on all kinds of applications which I hope they will work on in the coming days.

Always good

Pros

Allscripts EMR Software is very reliable and fulfills all our practice needs. You can add diagrams and look at lab reports within the patient chart.

Cons

There is nothing bad about the software.

Saves us alot of time.

Pros

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.

Cons

None comes to mind. It works really well.

We adore Allscripts!

Pros

Its useful for a variety of things, and its especially useful in situations at work.

Cons

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

Excellent Selection for our practice

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
