Net Health Therapy for Clinics vs. Practice Fusion

Casamba Clinic has been well suited for all aspects of our business since its inception. I can't imagine using a paper chart for all aspects of patient care and not having the EMR system for more streamlined documentation, communication with referral sources and insurances, and for streamlined billing processes.

The best scenario is a small non-profit clinic who needs a great EMR but cannot afford one like EPIC. I might also recommend this to colleagues who are starting a small business because I think PF would be a good, easy, and more affordable to get up and running. I think this EMR makes less sense in the setting of large academic institutions who need lots of easily manipulable data and a huge amount of support.

In my opinion and experience, they have a lack of customization so you have to constantly create hacks to make their system work for your practice.

I appreciate all aspects of the program and the people in the company. These two components combined (a quality product and quality people) make this a company that I can fully support. I always feel heard whenever I have a recommendation, as well.

We always get a return call within the time stated. There are many available topics on the forum and it is often easy to find the issue you are seeking more information on. When we have tried the live chat feature we have been satisfied with the timeliness and response.

I feel that Casamba Clinic is well on par if not better than all of these other solutions as far as functionality, quality, and user experience. Additionally, they listen well to the customers and adjust based on recommendations. Finally, I am confident of the company and the direction going forward that will allow it to be viable for the long term.

NextGen is hard to use as far as medical records. Practice Fusion is user friendly. There is a great knowledge base for questions asked. Practice Fusion takes all the guess work out of the day.
