Power Diary vs. Practice Fusion

The most important thing is that I feel confident that my client records are kept secure and private, and that Power Diary has strict security and privacy measures in place
and compliance with relevant legislative and regulatory requirements. Data is
encrypted, and two factor authentication is required to access the system. I can't think of any scenarios where it would be less appropriate to use.

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.

I think Power Diary is relatively intuitive however of late, over development of certain features with insufficient user experience testing, and, in my opinion, no desire to resolve the concerns of customers shows me that Power Diary's business model is not customer centric, but self centric and most businesses with this ethos fail in time.

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.

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.

This is the first time I have used this type of practice management system. I used the Specialist Homelessness Information Platform (SHIP) in my previous role, which made it easier for me to transition to using Power Diary.

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.
