There are many EHR products on the market. Some with all the bells and whistles, some which just provide the basic key features needed for good patient care. Most EHRs are outrageously priced and are so filled with features that even the tech savvy providers and staff that use them get lost within the record (or need to spend too much time clicking around in the record decreasing efficiency which forces providers to spend more time on clerical data entry duties than actual caring for patients). I have worked with a few of these EHRs and was very unsatisfied.
regarding Jon's statement..."In summary, Amazing Charts will continue to strive to be the best, most affordable, EHR, and a reality-check for the businesses charging ridiculous money for mediocre products."
I wholeheartedly support Jon's statement above, and that is why I chose AC. AC isnt perfect (no EHR is) but it is very good, affordable and it and it gets the job done. Ease of use and affordability, I believe, will be key components for ACs longevity and success. For those that want all the bells and whistles (features which no doubt cost more to develop and maintain), there are plenty of other EHRs to choose from so have at it. Let AC focus on developing/maintaining key EHR features, maintaining ease of use, and remaining affordable which will allow AC powered practices to keep their overhead low while providing high quality care to patients at fair prices.
