Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have been using Allscripts Sunrise EHR while working as a virtual medical scribe for US physicians and assisting them with patient charts. This is very simple to use and easy to access EHR. It works well in creating notes. However, the speed is an issue with it, and it lags and sometimes freezes. Otherwise, all good.

Pros

  • Create notes and prepare medical charts for patients
  • Can easily create and modify templates
  • Can create addendum to the notes

Cons

  • Speed can be improved as I face lagging and freezing issues with it.
  • Reviewing notes from older visits is a little tricky as it requires a lot of clicks.
  • The size of the EHR screen is not well optimized with your computer screen, and hence the fonts look very small.

Return on Investment

  • Best solution (charting, patient scheduling, workflow management, and many more features) for companies from 1 to 10 employees
  • We have trained our staff and did not face any hiccups
  • It has definitely improved our efficiency and overall productivity
