I can promise you a few things with ? confidence…
Someone is going to be unhappy.
You won’t think it’s perfect.
It’s still pretty great.
Time is ? folks and efficiency saves ⏱️. So repeat after me:
Less clicks, more better.
There are dozens of options when it comes to electronic medical records (EMR) / electronic health records (EHR) / practice management (PM) / revenue cycle management (RCM) software, so how do you choose what’s best for your practice?
This is a quick read of a few of the top/most common options. If you’d rather have an in-depth discussion of “how to pick” topic, just contact John and he’ll give you a personal 45-minute rant session on it.
Otherwise…we’ve got you. We use over 50 programs every single day, which affords us a unique vantage point. We also beta test everything that gets thrown at us. We invest in industry tech. We advise in the space. Basically, we’re absolute dorks.
**DISCLAIMER**
We don’t pay to play. We don’t take referral fees. We don’t pick favorites. We don’t think this is one size fits all. We don’t think our opinion is better than anyone else’s. BUT…we do think we know what we’re talking about though…so we hope this helps a little.
