AdvancedMD Benefits and Insights

Why use AdvancedMD?

Key differentiators & advantages of AdvancedMD

  • Synchronize Workflow: With integrable features and configurable templates, you can optimize workflows by connecting an entire facility with multiple departments and other pharmacies and labs. Treat more patients daily without sacrificing quality of care, leading to an increase in revenue.

    Physicians can easily access relevant information on the system in real time to properly treat a patient. Patient ledgers, on the other hand, help patients track outstanding payments directly on the platform and pay them in half or full — an advantage over competitor eClinicalWorks, which requires partner integrations to support this function.
  • Manage Reputation: Manage online surveys and patient feedback relating to a practice and doctors using AdvancedReputation. Reviews are both easy to fill out and easy for online searchers to see how many reviews users have as well as how well a practice ranks in comparison to other practices.
  • Support Scalability: With numerous optional features and tools, it can be tailored to a variety of health specialties of all sizes based on each organization’s unique needs.

    Besides robust platform capabilities, custom integrations with external solutions also come in handy. For API extensibility, you can use the AdvancedMD Developer Portal. Integrations with Office 365 lets you sync all your contacts, appointments and events, something currently not supported by competitors like eClinicalWorks.
  • Access Mobility: Applications for iPhone and iPad allow physicians to communicate with patients and provide care whenever and wherever. You can view records, add patients and manage schedules directly on AdvancedMD’s phone app, which is designed to render on any device or fit any screen size. It is also fully supported on Android devices.
  • Facilitate Patient Engagement: Patients can be much more involved throughout their entire healthcare process with the use of the patient portal to communicate with their physicians, send refill requests for medication, view lab results, access educational resources, attend telehealth sessions and leave social media reviews.

    Our analysts gave AdvancedMD a perfect score for this feature, while competitors like NextGen Enterprise and Oracle Ambulatory EHR scored about 50 due to needing external programs like Elsevier and Healthwise for the same function.
  • Offer Flexible Treatment Options: Telehealth appointments along with reminders, patient messaging and patient portals all give clinicians better ways to treat their patients, regardless of the patient’s location or accessibility.

Logging in, you're greeted by a clear overview of your finances, including a handy bar graph of your accounts receivable. There are also dashboards, the latest AdvancedMD news, and a section highlighting user reviews and ratings.

The patient intake process seems straightforward. Filling out the intake form is a breeze, with well-organized tabs for insurance, charge history, referrals and more.

AdvancedMD's scheduler is color-coded and easy to navigate. You can quickly find patients, schedule appointments and even track patient wait times. Plus, you can customize the colors to suit your workflow.

The Claims Center is where you'll manage your claims submissions. The Charge Review tab lets you check charges and insurance information, while the Claim Inspector helps you catch errors before submitting claims.

Patients can easily access the patient portal via a text message link. Here, they can fill out forms, pay bills and even request follow-up appointments.

While some users rave about AdvancedMD's customization and integration capabilities, others have expressed frustration with certain aspects. 

Many users have complained about the high cost of add-ons and unexpected fees. While some users have praised specific support representatives, others have criticized the overall customer support experience, citing slow response times and unhelpful agents. User reviews on reporting capabilities are mixed, with some finding them helpful and others less so.

Despite the negative reviews, AdvancedMD remains a popular EHR solution. However, its high cost and steep learning curve make it best suited for larger practices with the budget for add-ons and the internal support to ensure smooth implementation and usage.
