What do you like best?
Having used EPIC, Cerner and Allsctipts, in my opinion, the ability to communicate information about the patient through Allscripts is hand down the best EHR I have used. The ability to populate a note on the patients chart to help communicate important items for the patient such as financial items, allergies, personal details about the patient that might help staff help the patient without having to dig through the patients chart to find information. The charge entry and reconciliation process is way easier in Allscripts. Reports were way easier to run to see how your practice is doing financially is way better. In my opinion, Allscripts is the best EHR that I have used in my 21 years in healthcare.
What do you dislike?
As with all EHR's there are a lot of clicks you have to get through to complete your visits.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would encourage anyone looking for an EHR that promotes great communication, is user friendly and wants to be about to pull reports with ease should look into Allscripts
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I transitioned my pediatric practice from paper charts to Allscripts. Getting the old documentation transferred over from paper to electronic was a struggle and getting staff trained, but the process was fairly painless.
