Amazing Charts Receives Highest Ratings In Two Independent EHR User Surveys
AmazingCharts.com, Inc., a leading developer of electronic health record (EHR/EMR) systems received the highest user satisfaction ratings in user surveys released independently by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and Medscape, a unit of the WebMD Health Professional Network.
"Physicians are being pressured to adopt unproven EMR solutions," said Dr. Jonathan Bertman, MD, founder and CEO of Amazing Charts. "These studies allow physicians to assess objectively which systems will actually work and which ones will only frustrate them and their staff. What's amazing to me is that our $995 product is rated higher than products costing $10,000 per physician."
Amazing Charts garnered the highest ratings in four key categories of the AAFP Family Practice Management (FPM) 2009 EHR User Satisfaction Survey. AAFP FPM surveyed 2,012 family practice physicians using a total of 22 EHR systems. Amazing Charts was rated highest in responses to the following four statements:
- Overall, the EHR is easy and intuitive to use
- Documenting care is easy and effective with this EHR
- This EHR is worth the expense
- I am highly satisfied with this EHR system
Amazing Charts also had a higher percentage of positive responses than any other vendor, with 71 percent "Strongly Agree" responses in addition to 28 percent "Agree," for a 99 percent positive response.
Amazing Charts received the highest rating for user satisfaction in a recent online survey of 3,700 readers of Medscape Business of Medicine. Healthcare professionals were asked to rate their experiences with EHRs in 12 areas of performance, including overall ease of use, reliability, customer support, ease of implementation, and value for the money. Amazing Charts received an average score of 4.17 out of 5.0. The next highest vendor score was 3.36, and several major competitors had scores below 3.0.
When asked by Medscape if they would recommend their EHR to other physician practices, all of the Amazing Charts respondents answered "Yes." According to the survey report, "Amazing Charts, an EMR for small practices, garnered an enthusiastic rating, with 100% of its users recommending it."
