I have been researching EMRs over the last 6 weeks, after finding what I believe to be the best product, Dr. Notes (www.drnotes.com) I have gone to work for them, I am researching all of the questions that are asked on this site as additional training so I will gladly inform anyone interested. If there is any feedback that you have heard about the software I would it, either here or privately in an email if you wish.

So WHY did you decide it was 'the best product'? What makes it better than Amazing Charts, SOAPware, e-MDs, eClinicalWorks, AcerMed, Praxis, PowerMed, A4, NextGen, Greenway. . . . (etc.)?

What's it cost?

And why did you ask, "What's the scoop. . .?" when, presumably, you already knew?

The primary difference is documentation by exception instead of templates, and the implementation and support. Cost varies but it is definately not the cheapest.

Oh and the reason I asked is because I never claim to know all information.

So what IS 'documentation by exception'?

And what exactly is better about Dr. Notes' 'implementation and support'?

And what does 'Cost varies' mean?

For a salesman, you're not making much of a case.

"I'm not trying to sell on this site..."

Yet you make broad statements about one product being the best and your email address is company email from that very product.

Give us a little credit.

But I have a question for you. You said that drnotes "is not the cheapest" out there. Why not? What does drnotes cost and give us a little insight into why that price was chosen.

So are we; that's why we are here. So when you make a claim that a product has unique technology, it does us no good unless you EXPLAIN that technology--assuming you can, of course, and 'documenting by exception' is not just just a marketing euphemism for default negatives or something.

There is a difference between discussing a product intelligently and teaching others about it, and just making a sales pitch (which we see too often around here). It is the difference between those who know their products well, and those who don't.

BTW, watch the run-on sentences.

I hope that 'documentation by exception' does not have the same meaning as it does in the inpatient nursing field. There, 'charting by exception' is a technique whereby you only write down anything abnormal, unusual or wrong. If something is not specifically mentioned, it is assumed to be normal.

As a risk management\malpractice expert, this technique gives me the heebie-jeebies (technical jargon, here). I have often read nursing progress notes for an entire shift that consisted of blank space all up until the time the patient was found dead in bed. The juries often interpret this to mean that the nursing staff was off somewhere playing celebrity deathmatch poker or something.

LOL!

Did they document the death as an 'exception', or assume it was normal, too?

It usually gets charted as 'the patient failed to live up to his/her wellness potential', thus putting the onus on the patient. This also makes you look good for the root cause analysis of the sentinel event.

One of the best medical one liners I've heard in a while, thanks! I'm passing it on to a few of my brothers that are trial lawyers (not medical malpractice).

Jeff,

I just read that DrNotes costs $31,000/physician to license it. Is this true? You said you're not the cheapest solution... If this is the case, I would say you're one of the costliest. Would like to know so that I can tell my receptionist that I am not taking calls from "Dr. Notes."

Dr. Notes looks great when it is demonstrated but the sales tactics are awful. I had a sales agreement faxed to me to sign within hours of my first demo even though I had told the salesperson that I was still researching EMRs. They offer a 'free'training session for two practice personnel at their headquarters in Florida and send technicians on-site to set up the system. Dr. Notes also expects you to buy all the hardware from them which greatly adds to costs. If resources were not a problem I think Dr. Notes could be considered but they seem to concentrate on the sale rather than the product.
