Nothing intended except joking around

I regenerated this one...

Sgunes:
I would suggest you should take a look at our PrognoCIS EMR. It offers all the features and functionality you are looking at and has speciality templates for Pain Management. Please feel free to email me or call me

Dear RM-Texas: according to the http://www.emr-electronicmedicalrecords.com/price_comparisons.asp
spreadsheet the 2004 price for 2 MDs for 2 years is over $15k. I don't know what the current price is as I could not find it on your website. As the initial thread was for an EMR (maybe even EMR+PM) for under or about $6k your EMR would not qualify.
In general, I like honest vendors/websites that state their prices vs. others that force you to go through multiple middlemen and learn the secret handshake.
I can drive up to any gasstation or store and know exactly what I will be paying for any item or service. I can buy any piece of hardware and regular software and instantaneuosly get the best price (using pricewatch, pricegrabber, froogle...). But somehow most EMRs are different. I think one of the reasons why many do not adopt an EMR is this whole "secrecy" thing. I am convinced that if you have a good product that is worth the asking price, the price should be posted for everybody to see right away.
When I shop for a new car I have the MRSP and have a rough estimate how much it will cost me.
I have to applaud all EMR (and PM) producers/vendor that dare to put their product and pricing openly on the table and let the customer decide.
<<stepping off the soapbox>>

Dear sgunes,
The price of our EMR on the http://www.emr-electronicmedicalrecords.com/price_comparisons.asp is very correct for purchase but is not accurate for ASP model. We charge $300 per month for ASP model and I will send a separate email to Naveen for correcting this. We also offer other modules such as Patient Portal, Physician Portal, Patient education, SureScripts E-Prescribing etc... which are not priced in the comparison chart ( We have to compare apples to apples). As a company policy we do not post the prices on the website, however as far as being honest, if you call any of our sales staff you will hear the same pricing from everyone with no hidden cost. When we submit a proposal it is black and white and that is it. I am sure if any our users who will read this post will support my statement.

We are a very reasonably priced EMR with the features and functionality that we bring on the table along with excellent customer support.

I apologize for recommending our product, as you are very correct that it will not suit you budget of <6K for 2MD and 2 Year support.

I wish you all the best in your search, Happy Hunting

to mchasemd and digital-doc:
medtuity seems to look within our budget. Best/worst case scenario: 30 patients/day x 5 days = 150 patient encounters/week x 52 weeks = 7800 encounters x 0.75c = $5850/year. In a realistic scenario we will probably pay just a couple hundred a month in the beginning while ramping up and then get to the point when we don't have to pinch every penny.

The website does not provide enough info.
I understand that it is not ASP, so my practice does not go down when the internet connection does.
How about the database? What is it based on?
Do you have e-prescibing (SureScript)?
Any demos besides the screenshots?
How is scanning/file management implemented?
Any interfaces with PM/Billing software (Medisoft, emedpro, EZClaim...)?
Do I own (and store on my server) the patient data?
Is there a section/template for office based procedures?
How easy is it to attach fluoroscopy pictures to the procedure notes?
Who on emru/f is using Medtuity and what is their experience?
Does your EMR include any kind of scheduling?

Anything else I have not asked?

sgunes,

To answer your questions...

>>I understand that it is not ASP, so my practice does not go down when the internet connection does. <<

This is correct. We are a client/server application. You house the server and the database (MS SQL Server). You own 100% of the data, we do not touch it.

>>Do you have e-prescibing (SureScript)?<<

Currently we do not offer this. But, with MedtuityEMR you are able to write/fax scripts through your server (paperlessly).

>>Any demos besides the screenshots?<<

I would be happy to give you a demo. Feel free to send me a private email to set one up.

>>How is scanning/file management implemented?<<

We have our own integrated document handling. You can scan in images, receive faxes or import files into MedtuityEMR and assign the images to a patient's record.

>>Any interfaces with PM/Billing software (Medisoft, emedpro, EZClaim...)?<<

Yes to Medisoft and EZClaim as well as a number of other systems. I am unfamiliar with emedpro and we do not currently have an interface for them.

>>Is there a section/template for office based procedures?<<

We do have a nice procedure control that is completely customizable. Here is a short demo of it: http://www.medtuity.com/medtuity_emr/newfeatureproccontrol.asp

>>How easy is it to attach fluoroscopy pictures to the procedure notes?<<

What kind of file is the fluoroscopy picture saved as?

The EMR does not have a scheduler. Typically users will rely on their PMS to provide the scheduler.

Remember, the cost is per new patient encounter. If you are adding an addendum to the patient's record it is free.

When does your practice open?

I will be happy to answer other questions that might come up.

Best of luck with your new business,

That said, don't confuse "SQL" with "Access". The "Access" portion can reside in the front-end of both an SQL backend database and a Jet 4.0 database... and work just as well. Any limits reside on the backend tables, not the frontend forms, reports, etc.

I like the posts with the pics...you and I both agree on that item! Jet powers one heck of synch too.
