Altera Digital Health - EHR Reviews & Product Details

I really like the organization of Allscripts and the layout of the file. Lab values, vitals, and notes are all easy to find in Allscripts because the layout makes sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that it is difficult to search for and place an order if you don't know the precise title. Most EHR systems have a way of searching for a partial title, but Allscripts' search method is too difficult and cumbersome to use. I also dislike that the allergies are in small font and do not really draw your eye the way they do on Epic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use schedule. You can use different colors to help identify a room. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is not a user friendly program. It takes a while to learn it. The drop down menus are not well organized and when new things are added they are just given an extra word instead of replacing the current ones. It causes a lot of clutter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to make smart text allows for time savings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Entering medication does not allow free text so takes forever and prone to errors Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Organization is intuitive and there is a lot of functionality to run reports. It is relatively reliable in that it does what it's supposed to do, albeit slowly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very slow even to do basic tasks, the aesthetic is reminiscent of AOL 2003. It takes forever to load even after doing something as simple as changing the time of an appointment, or worse, thinking about changing the time of an appointment but dragging it back into its original location.

Allscripts EHR is a great clinical application for patient charting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

not able to view multiple information on patient

not able to see appointment while looking at clinical part Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allscripts is really easy from a provider's perspective because it allows me to reference the patient's chart and past notes all in one place, with minimal clicking back and forth. I appreciate that I can open past notes in separate windows, so if I want to reference them I'm able to do so without having to lose all of my other open windows. I also very much appreciate that the e-prescribing mechanism shows me clearly whether the prescription has been transmitted in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the integration with other systems, specifically with FollowMyHealth notes from patients. There is often a lag time between when I get notification of the patient's message and when they sent it, so that by the time I see it they have already called with the same issue to follow up about an answer.

Also, there is limited ability to customize as a user in a large practice group. The practice group decides on the note templates, and there is no way as an individual to personalize the note. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use All scripts to gain access to physician office charts in order to provide Case Management to patients at home. I am able to see office visit notes, consults, medication lists etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very busy to look at. Once I select a document to view, it opens in another window and is easy to read. But the list of occursnces is congested and I really have to look to find what I am looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to mark results that have already been seen is very useful and utilizes an interface that no other EMR has been able to perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allscripts has a long way to go to become a system like Epic. It is not customizable for each user, and because of this lack of flexibility, it is sometimes hard to use. The interface is not as aesthetically pleasing as some other EMRs are. When creating your own patient lists, there are limitations on how to organize the list locations.
