Praxis EMR

Best EMR for the money

Kommentare: I have used numerous EMR system in the past. In the clinic alone, this the third one we used. Praxis cuts back on my documentation time to less than an hour a day which is pretty good considering that I see > 20 patient a day. Technical support is outstanding. Very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable.

Vorteile:

Functionalities that you can tailor to your needs. Live Technical support in case you need one.

Nachteile:

The first week of use requires building your knowledge base and can be challenging. However, as created two or three documents, it gets easier every time.

With Praxis nothing falls between the cracks... NOTHING IS EVER LEFT UNDONE OR MISSED

Vorteile:

The NURSING TASK agents. From referrals, test results, record request, patient compliance, orders, and any things outside of your clinics four walls and your control PRAXIS "stays on top of it" so you don't have to think about it. Also... when you call support the phone is answered within 10 seconds BY A LIVE, ENGLISH SPEAKING, KNOWLEDGABLE SUPPORT STAFF MEMBER. No leaving voice mails, no call backs, no being on hold for hours. ,

Nachteile:

I looked at PRAXIS over 25 years ago but went with SOAPWARE by DOC's instead. That one is now defunct as so so many others became following mandated implantation requirements by ONC and other federal agencies. Praxis had the knowledge, talent and determination to keep moving forward to serve the providers, their number one priority back then and remains that way today. It was my bad for not selecting Praxis years ago.

Great EHR!

Vorteile:

As a Medical billing company, it is great to be able to have my customers referred to a cost effective and easy to use platform for their EHR. The interface works amazing and it helps the providers focus more on the patient.

Nachteile:

I have othing negative to say. All has been great to work with.

Int Medicine

Kommentare: Very good; easy for staff to integrate into their day

Vorteile:

Ease of use; excellent support; quick learning curve

Nachteile:

No controlled substance prescribing-yet -will be coming

An EMR That Easily Grows & Changes To Suit My Needs

Kommentare: Praxis has become an essential partner of my practice, not just a software provider. I know many of the employees and I've even been contacted by the [sensitive content hidden] to be sure all was well. My career is over 30 years and I've used probably dozens of EMR programs. I almost universally disliked them all, except Praxis. Praxis is dynamic, flexible, mature, and easily modifiable by end users. It stands far above other EMRs I've used.

Vorteile:

Two major criteria that led me to select Praxis was the following. 1) I hate to repeat myself. I wanted an EMR that allowed me to develop diagnostic and treatment plans that reflect my style of care without having to repeat large groups of text for each patient with similar problems. And 2) I wanted to be certain that all problems are monitored to resolution. Praxis tracks and monitors problems over time and automates patient communication and recall. A perfect solution, and it keeps getting better.

Nachteile:

I've not encountered any major problems or concerns. Should I have any problems, customer support is consistent, reliable and quick.

Fantastic multi-diciplinary EMR

Kommentare: I have always felt like the crew at Praxis were working as a team. From the sales team to implementation and support. Issues come up and they get resolved quickly and efficiently.

Vorteile:

I love that it basically "reads my mind". I don't love to type so the fact that I can use my own words in many different ways and not retype them is gold.

Nachteile:

Was a pretty straight forward transition.

Best EMR for physicians

Kommentare: With praxis I have no complaints it’s just the way medicine has come to at this stage

Vorteile:

The ease of use, not having to click on each point , I am able to free write notes on specified patient and it will save to that specific patient or also save in general for patients with similar diagnosis The system learns how you write and document

Nachteile:

I have used praxis for many years, the one minor issue I would say is with the way controlled medication need to be sent to the pharmacy

Praxis is great!!

Kommentare: My overall experience has been great. I love the fact that as an administrator, I can generate report which can then be used to make decision regarding my nursing staff and so on.

Vorteile:

I like the general flow of the EMR. It's easy to use. How great it is to generate information which is required at times by our patients. The EMR is fast and takes seconds to boot up when you begin the day. The support staff is also great and very efficient in responding to queries.

Nachteile:

None that I can think of at this time, which speaks volume since our clinic has been using the EMR since 2016.

Praxis: A unique concept in EHRs

Kommentare: Praxis has been a dependable EHR. I have been on Praxis for more than 8 years. It has provided a unique experience to customize the patient encounters, instructions, procedure notes, etc. The more you use it, the "smarter" the system becomes because of the information you are able to save into it unique to your individual practice style and desires, even if those change over time. Almost everything about the patient encounters is customizable as you are using it. A fascinating concept.

Vorteile:

I enjoy the flexibility and adaptability of Praxis. Praxis is very adaptable to the individual user's practice style. It is an enjoyable and logical system to use. The concept is ingenious.

Nachteile:

I'm only disappointed that I did not hear about Praxis years earlier! That would have saved me a lot of frustration on template based systems I have used.

Praxis from a long-term user

Kommentare: Very good if you like efficiency. It is a good, non-templated program that allows you to continually fine tune your notes.

Vorteile:

Simple to use. You get faster every day. I have used Praxis since opening my practice as a foot doctor from the time I completed my residency.

Nachteile:

Good program-they support you. Like everything, there is a learning curve, but once you put just a little time in, you will get faster and faster.

Great EMR

Kommentare: Have been using it since 2012 and overall it is a great EMR compared to others. MOST IMPORTANTLY THE SUPPORT team is very attentive to our needs and answer immediately with a live chat or will always call you back immediately. The response time for a team member is immediate. This goes a long way with great support.

Vorteile:

It is very user friendly - and most importantly you can customize it to your own liking and create your own knowledge base.

Nachteile:

There really isn't anything that we don't like with this software.

The Ultimate EMR

Kommentare: Praxis: Easy to implement. Easy to learn. Easy to use. Easy to comply with MIPS and MACRA requirements. Saves time and allows us to practice quality medicine.

Vorteile:

I have been in practice for the last 27 years and Praxis is my 4th EMR and so far the best one. Praxis is very affordable which is very important for smaller practices. Starting from an implementation to training, Praxis team was exceptional. Having a designated contact person was very helpful during the first few months to help resolve any unexpected issues in a timely manner. Learning curve with Praxis is much gentler and easier compared to other EMRs. Praxis allows you to document the way your mind thinks and practice the way you once dreamed about. Praxis will allow you to provide quality care and meet all necessary guidelines which will result in better reimbursement over time.

Nachteile:

Lack of its own faxing solution and hope that Praxis will have its own integrated faxing solution in future

Praxis Great EMR for the Private Practioner and primary care medicine

Kommentare: Reduced time for documentation and patient charting!

Vorteile:

Easy to use documentation of patient visit notes and billing codes and procedures done as well.

Nachteile:

I have it interphasing with our billing software and the electronic prescription of controlled software

Amazing EMR

Kommentare: Exceptional EMR and is always very easy to navigate

Vorteile:

It’s very user friendly and support is available at any moment with a live chat

Nachteile:

There is nothing I can say that I don’t like

Electronic Health Records

Vorteile:

- User friendly - Easily modified - Fast charting - Adapts to your practice

Nachteile:

No real cons that I have come across as of the writing of this review.

Five stars for Praxis

Vorteile:

We love the latest version of Praxis with clean interface and a whole list of incredible features to make a clinician's day of charting a breeze.

Nachteile:

Praxis needs understanding of your own practice and charting patterns which makes it so awesome but that also means introspection and spending time analyzing your own thought processes as well; but more you do it better and faster it gets which is not really a downside but a great strength.

Great EMR for Primary Care

Kommentare: Excellent. It works great and is actually fun to set up.

Vorteile:

Praxis EMR fits to your unique practice of medicine. No templates.

Nachteile:

I like everything. There is nothing about Praxis that I am unhappy about.

Best EMR in the market

Vorteile:

Not template based. Most adaptable. Individualized to each patient visit. Gets better the more you use it. One page access to all patient clinical data

Nachteile:

Wish I discovered it sooner:) I have used 5 other EMRs before.

Prraxis EMR- A diamond among the pack

Kommentare: As a solo provider Praxis has allowed me to save valuable charting time, allowed me to expand my clinical data base and easily integrate the administrative functions I needed.

Vorteile:

This EMR is the most flexible and adaptable EMR I have encountered . It is easily tailored to the individual provider, easily edited for individual patient differences and even remembers the chronic problems of each patient. You determine the format rather than being given a set format, Allows for minimal mouse use rather than tying you to a "clicker". Layout is excellent , well organized and intuitive. With this EMR you are not tethered to a template that is difficult to edit and it allows you to edit notes on the fly. Prescribing format allows for individual preferences and is extremely easy to modify to each patient. Allows you to keep private notes which are hidden and diagnostic testing templates can be added at user discretion. You are not stuck with a note that has a lot of useless junk because it allows you to edit the set-up on initial installation and then add or delete as you see fit. User Support is absolutely top notch, real time availability and always had any problem solved with a single call.

Nachteile:

The only thing I have found that could be improved is the product logo. My only desire is an added controlled substance tool but that is already in process .

Powerful and innovative

Kommentare: With thought, I have been able to leverage the software to track time for chronic care management and the advisory function has helped me improve quality allowing me to received bonuses from MSSP.

Vorteile:

The software is infinitely customizable to suit any provider’s needs.

Nachteile:

There are so many ways to customize the software that it is intimidating. Fortunately the trainers are great at helping you translate your thoughts into assessments and forms.

Comparison of EMR's

Kommentare: To have been so fortunate to have been able to first use then compare Praxis to the EMR's used by the clinics that I've worked out of but let me use Praxis has really opened my eyes to what make a great EMR

Vorteile:

Praxis (an EMR/ EHR, developed by a practicing doctor) thinks like a doctor, the best example that I give, is, I took over a retiring physicians practice, upon seeing one of his patients, I turned to the paper note which simply read; "Diabetes, well controlled" Interesting enough, upon turning to the lab section of the paper chart, I saw a signed and dated lab sheet that read; -A1c 6.8 -renal function (all within normal vaules) -Ldl was 68 Next, turning to the Specialist tab, I found, once again, a signed and dated ophthalmologist note that denoted a normal retinal exam, while the podiatric exam also was normal. For Dr Tate, "Diabetes, well controlled", meant the A1c was < 7, the renal function was normal, an up to date and normal diabetic eye and feet exam had recently been done. It also represented the normal review of system, examination, Assessment and Plan. Unlike template EM/EHR's, Praxis, documents the way a doctor thinks, imagine an EMR that upon picking the Assessment; "Diabetes, well controlled", then prints out all the above, including all the CPT's and ICD codes (all at the speed of thought) (not taking 6 clicks to simply send a referral), sending the billing, referrals and lab orders I'm currently in a very unique position, the company I work for, uses "Epic" (there is now way it was developed by a doctor, it takes several clicks and each click is taking your doctor away from facing the patient) to write one prescription, a good EMR does not, Praxis does not

Nachteile:

It's hard for me to really give a negative statement about Praxis (remember, in the last three years, I've had to use three different EMR's that are used in the hospitals, SNF or adjoining clinics, Praxis is so head and shoulders above (it's almost laughable seeing there inefficiencies)

Great EMR - No Need to Look Elsewhere

Kommentare: Prior EMRs have slowed my practice. My staff used to complain about how rigid the prior EMRs were. Some were very slow. I don't hear those concerns anymore since using Praxis. I am very pleased with how [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and Praxis listens to their customers and clearly is in my corner to help me achieve a smoother practice operation. Affordable program. Great support. Very Satisfied. Get ready to be wowed when you start Praxis.

Vorteile:

As a small medical practice, I have used multiple EMR platforms from small now defunct companies to the mega companies that dominate the hospital world. I have been a Praxis user for several years and am thoroughly pleased with my decision to select Praxis. The platform is unlike any other EMR that I have seen. The ability for Praxis to be molded to the needs of my practice has separated this product from the rest. Working with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has been a enlightening experience and I have learned much from him about EMRs, AI, and medical charting in general. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is driven with great passion in listening to his clients and their needs and then helping to problem solve any challenges that we are facing. The level of personal commitment to his customers is unparalleled. From a software perspective, the ease of setting new assessments to meet our needs was very easy and constantly evolves. The notes get smarter as we continue to use them by taking advantage of prior encounters using the same assessment. I was able to transition from a prior inferior EMR very quickly. The training team was excellent and at times we were more of a partnership in customizing to what I needed for my practice. My practice involves very complex patients, research visits, diagnostics, and other patient interaction types. While some of my needs were not built in to the program, the team worked with me quickly to come up with good solutions.

Nachteile:

All programs continue to evolve. Praxis has been doing well to address their clients needs with periodic enhanced upgrades.

A great EMR

Kommentare: An old saying: It's not what you know but what you can prove! Documentation, Documentation, Documentation. Praxis allows one to create appropriate documentation for the services rendered and billed. Praxis is HIPPA compliant. Praxis allows me to spend my time speaking to and examining patients and not staring at a computer screen during the encounter. I believe Praxis supports dictation and/or programs like Dragon Speaking; however, I am musch faster typing than I am dictating. I don't have to correct entries from word recognition programs or dictation entries.

Vorteile:

Easy to learn and easy to use. I can generate documentation of a high level of care with minimum time. Much faster and more accurate than dictating. Very customizable - one is not constricted/limited by preformed templates created by someone else with someone else's language/words. One can create notes that reeflect not just what one does but in a language consistent with the author. Reliable and Afordable. Less complicated/shorter learning curve than other EMRs. It is/was very adaptable to my practice which included several specialties: General & Thoracic Surgery, Medical Oncology, Primary Care and Addiction Medicine.

Nachteile:

Praxis has electronic scripting, but is still working on excripting for controlled substances. However, Praxis is partnering with MD Toolbox for controlled substance electronic scripting until it is incorporated into Praxis' current electronic scripting. For now escripting controlled substances is an extra step, but an HL7 interface allows transfer of demographics from Praxis, so one does not have to enter patients separately in each program.

Incredible Experience

Kommentare: I'm a few weeks into the onboarding experience. The team has been phenomenal. Multiple attentive people, and the trainer is the best. Oh.. and I had a very unusual connectivity request, and in turn.. even their subcontractors are amazing. They are teaching our clinic how to vastly improve the tele-psychiatry experience for our providers (that wasn't even in the work order or request, it was, ...hey can I get some advice, ...for free I am working with expert who is amazing, he isn't even an employee of Praxis).

Vorteile:

So when I saw the demo, my jaw dropped... They took concepts I knew and ran with them further than I imagined possible. My next thought was... oh my... people may not easily realize what Praxis has accomplished until using the software... For context.. In residency training I was tasked with teaching patient presentations to medical student. I had some previous training in internal medicine at an Ivy League Program where I struggled with presentation skills. But due to a lot of intensive work and guidance I became very skilled (and the prior struggle lent itself to teaching students, because I could guide students having difficulty). One cornerstone was teaching students that were do not process information in written text, and if you look at a transcription of any conversation, it tends to be... run-on sentence, fragment, tangential thought, one word reply, then run-on sentence, etc. Speech is fragmentation and it needs to stay that way else it is difficult for the listener (..that is why it is so annoying when you hear an entire lecture read off long paragraphs in powerpoint). Speech patterns aside, the point is that we do not think in written text. Furthermore, as a provider gains experience, human cognition allows them to process information much faster than conscious awareness. Praxis understands this, and they built something revolutionary. Put in your information on their website and watch their demo, I would need to write 2 pages to explain it.

Nachteile:

It took me three years to find them, and had it not been for the Coronavirus pandemic forcing me to search high and low for an ideal EMR, I would have stayed with paper charts and dictations (I hate EMRs, every one except Praxis)

Praxis is a great software

Kommentare: What I love most about Praxis is how the software learns from me. So, as I use Praxis it makes my charting easier and allows me to spend more time focusing on my patients, which is frankly the best part of medicine. With my old EMR system, I was literally clicking on boxes for ten minutes or more for each patient whereas now with Praxis, most patients are completely charted in minutes, depending on how fast I want to go.

Vorteile:

The Praxis people are quite helpful and were there answering my questions when setting up the software, so that was a good experience. I am now using a tablet and they needed to show me how to use it as I had never used a mobile computer for work. Overall, Praxis's software makes it very simple to check a patient's medical history which is much better than my old system which required much more work and used outdated templates.

Nachteile:

There is nothing I cannot do with Praxis. I wasted a lot of time (and money) in not getting Praxis in the beginning, but I'm making up for lost time now. Praxis connects to everything in my office which is good. I'm still waiting to hear back from a lab but they should be connected soon. Ask the Praxis people to see a demo or send the demo videos and you should have a good feeling for its clinical usefulness for your practice. Good luck to all.
