Hi Everyone. I'm a first time poster / long time reader, so please be gentle. In my area we help a few different medical practices and have been looking at Amazing Charts for quite a long time. It seems very impressive and equally impressive is how much information is shared in these forums. So first off thanks to all that contribute. It definitely makes things a lot less intimidating than most EMR communities.

My questions have to do with Practices that are using Version 5 of Amazing Charts in conjunction with Office Ally; along side of Practice Mate. I've read through many posts and it seems that a lot of people are happy with their arrangement until the Practice Management piece is available. I also understand that one can export directly to Office Ally. My questions are:

When using the direct export option to Office Ally is the demographic data then available in Practice Mate?
I believe in the past it was not and we are wondering how much double entry is required.

Has version 5 improved the export issues that users have reported in the past? And if so what other issues still remain? How often are you having to go in and correct claims (everyday or every so often)?

For those using Practice Mate, does it handle your practice needs or do you still have to keep track via alternate means, such as Quick Books?

Sorry for all the questions and thanks in advance for any feedback,

Best regards,

Will
