    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.

    Valant is a great space for front office to use in a patient/medical setting. I think it's best used on a small scale than a large scale. I have found it challenging at times with multiple locations and with about 3000 patients to keep track. Valant is excellent at record keeping, and communicating with the client via the patient portal. However, due to size and limited functionality - this would be hard to maintain for a larger scale.

    • Charting- Very detailed integration for charting.

    Cons
    Practice Fusion
    • Have Physician Assistant as a provider status.
    • Make the notes section of each patients account displays towards the top of page and not the bottom.

    • BILLING- This is all Caps - There can be room for improvement in terms of billing efficiency
    • Automatic Reporting - this would be beneficial to set up or have as a feature
    • Billing Dashboard - to view all accounts that have matured or are outstanding
    • Batch Posting - be it insurances or specific patients. Even Superbills cannot be "chosen" by specific people - it's all clients with balances that are active or no balances and all charges but nothing that says you want statements for say these 20 people.
    • Appointment Recording - this could be more efficient versus one by one processing.

    Usability

    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.

    It's very user friendly. The workspace is big, easy to read and navigate. Also, the resource knowledge base is great for when you have questions and there are several videos and guides for how to use or do something. I have had less than a year of using it and adopted it pretty quickly within the first 3 months.

    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.

    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.

    • PRO -- I know now what I need in an EMR/EHR
    • CONS -- They have overcharged me and it has cost me money
    • CONS-- They have disregarded my legal rights which makes me unsure of keeping confidential info in their systems and it will cost me money to switch
    • CONS--They have cost me money with the time I've wasted to follow up on my own tickets that they refuse to follow up with

    • Labor efficiency - this has been negative. Billing has had a lot of manual processes that unfortunately take up a lot of man hours - if this were improved, I could see a ROI that's positive
    • Valant has been great at certain features including the "waitlist" to capture patients and improve our chances for revenue being increased
