modmed Practice Add-On 17+

This app could truly be the best EMR available if they would take the time to listen to the requests of the countless orthopedic and neurological surgeons who use it. there are basic features of the app that would apply to every user, that need improvement (some are simple… the save feature at the bottom often activates the iPad Home Screen line). The app also needs keyword searches for diagnoses and not just the exact word match that it currently requires… there are countless ways this app could be better if only the developers would listen to the users and respond far more quickly.

Our practice has tried 4 different EMRs over the past 9 years. We last had NextGen, which was very time consuming. It would be great for an accountant, because it was like staring at an Excel spreadsheet for each patient visit.

Our revenue increased notably after switching back to ModMed, as the coding functions were more robust, and accurate. I used to have two scribes, running two rooms. With the Covid-relate staffing shortage, we lost quite a few scribes and I have been self-scribing 80% of the time for the past six months. I could not have done this accurately with NextGen. There are some mild bugs, and development can take some time, but there aren’t any better ophtho EMRs that I have used/tested.

No one LOVES there EMR, but I have to admit that I do really like ours (ModMed). From the standpoint of a physician, it has the best user interface and is SO much faster for getting my notes done than any of the systems we have used in the past. (I'm an ENT physician). I can't speak to the practice Management part of the system since I am not involved with that. No system is perfect, and one must accept that with any EMR, but I am happier using this one than any I've used previously and I do recommend it.
