    AdvancedMD
    It would be well suited for an initial user. If you are starting a practice and have nothing in place, it might be great. However, if you are a current EMR user of a different platform and have more than a hundred patients; don’t waste your time. This is a hands-off company that, in my opinion, will do nothing to support your efforts. We have a practice of 11,000 patients and would have had to hire 2 FTE’s to print all the patient data and upload it individually.

    athenaCollector would be well suited for smaller practices. It is well suited for larger practices, however some turn around time/system maintenance becomes more challenging. The product is well suited for a fast paced work environment. Ease of use of the system makes it easy to navigate and not get lost.

    Pros
    AdvancedMD
    • They provide access to their underlying tables via Open Database Connection (ODBC). This streamlines business intelligence processes greatly.
    • The "canned"/"stock" business intelligence tool (Advanced Insight) is very useful.
    • Our dedicated customer support representative (Breah Teed) has exceeded our expectations.

    Cons
    AdvancedMD
    • Adding and Deleting provider columns complicated.
    • Would have loved to have one point of contact at all times and have that person answer on the third ring (see, this is me really reaching--because as far as my job functions were concerned, the product was absolutely fantastic. I have no complaints).
    • Working electronic insurance error reports in the system was a nightmare.

    • Reporting for payer contract variances is weak for an organization as large as ours.
    • Custom report development can get pricey and take some time to develop.
    • A few of the spin-off products, such as the Dashboards, are not as customizable as our organization had hoped they would be.

    Overall, I think ADP AdvancedMD is very user friendly and constantly improves as new releases come out.

    I've only reached out a couple of times and after being bounced around a few times I simply asked for our internal team to look into the particular question I had. I believe they had some turnover at the time but my experience wasn't great.

    ADP AMD is much easier to learn and navigate than most all of the systems I have worked with, including Greenway and Centricity. The only thing I liked better in Centricity was the ability to run more customized reports, but overall, I would choose AMD any day over those two.

    The ease of use is far superior than any other similar billing systems product I have used. Navigation throughout the system is very self explanatory. Training time on this system is 1-3 days depending on users role (prior to additional on the job training within the system specific to the users role). Other systems have had software training for a week or more.

    Return on Investment
    AdvancedMD
    • We are paying over 5K for absolutely nothing.
    • We believe this company does not concern itself with the end-user.
    • We identified a large lack of ethics in the organization.
