24 Praxis EMR Testimonials

"A template program might work for somebody in one specialty who only sees 30 or 40 diagnoses, but in family practice we see hundreds of diagnoses. I can't even imagine another program that could come near to Praxis in terms of its flexibility."

"Praxis really makes it easier to see patients. It allows you to work more effectively and, actually, make better decisions."

"I am a busy Family Physician and on July 1 will have been at it 40 years. PRAXIS shows me a way I can get back to "hands on" medicine; sit and talk to people again, and document everything with a mouse click. E&M guidelines be damned! PRAXIS has found a better way. I used the single-user PRAXIS for a long time, but only with the network version have I begun to realize its true value. The learning curve is steep, but PRAXIS has made medicine fun again by helping me generate great records with less effort every day. I love PRAXIS. It keeps beautiful records. I can document everything from the Past History, Surgical History, Family history, medication records...and do all of this effortlessly. With the Present Illness and ROS, I've documented well enough to finally be paid for what I do. Yes...you can teach an old dog new tricks. I'm a good example."

"While several other systems provide for such things as accurate and legible recording of notes and prescriptions, it is the flexibility and theory behind PRAXIS that will, in the long run, provide the best legal protection for the practicing physician."

"It is outstanding, and easy to use. The beauty of the program is that it can document so much better than we can ever dictate or write and all is included for review. The concept engine is brilliant and VERY easy to use."

"I'm writing a short paper and presenting it to OHSU Rural Health faculty and students on Fri., 3/17. My paper is tentatively titled "Transforming Rural Primary Care: Electronic Medical Records (EMR) in Coos Bay, Oregon." I plan to review the literature on transitioning to EMR, and to focus on how it's going for Bay Clinic using Praxis."

"Another...which makes Praxis v3 the absolute best out there. From the hospital (or anywhere with internet) I can access my office Praxis program. I call up my Admitting Note assessment, pick a subgroup (suffix) and print the note to the hospital printer. If I had a fax modem set up and designated as a printer I could print to the fax modem at the office and have the pages faxed to me or anywhere I choose. I can use the internet connection with Praxis while doing the new visit... takes all of about 2 minutes to do this generally."

"From those whose "sound bites" have graced our ads and articles through the years.... "...PRAXIS will revolutionize Medical Records."

"Medical consultations on paper are obsolete, and thanks to Praxis, my practice of medicine no longer revolves around generating and interpreting paper-charts that I cannot query, cannot research, and cannot annotate as I please."

“Praxis has improved the quality of medicine I practice while respecting the way I practice. It keeps my practice running more efficiently every day. I estimate small practices will make hundreds of thousands of dollars more if they use Praxis.”

"I am fascinated with the idea of a Concept Processor, I thought I was very much against loading my own medical knowledge in the computer. I have since found that it is actually essential that you load your own information. It is fascinating to put a diagnosis down, watch it load, make a couple of adjustments, and all of a sudden the chart is done for that patient. As I sit here dictating this letter, I am still looking at the other (template) system sitting on my shelf."

"All my requirements were met with PRAXIS. PRAXIS will allow (us) more time to be doctors, instead of writers of medical paperwork who also see patients."

"You have created a revolutionary and inexpensive computer charting system that could become the universal standard. Anyone with a serious interest in practicing high quality medicine and an interest in computers needs to look at PRAXIS. There is nothing else that even comes close. It is the best system that I have found for medical practice note-keeping because it is far superior to any of the 'template' systems and has superb flexibility characteristics. I have recommended (PRAXIS) to many physicians. It is a program that any physician with a modicum of computer literacy would see as the answer to his practice needs. You are limited only by your imagination, intelligence and time as to what you can do with PRAXIS. When you get into PRAXIS you will love it. Using it is 'addictive'. When you realize how much you can do to generate a superb medical record and be reminded of all of the details that are so important to quality medical practice with speed and documentation for the snoopers, you will be glad you got involved."

"In my specialty the biggest thing is having good eye contact and really being attentive to the patient when the person is talking to you. In some medical settings physicians have their backs to the patient and are on the computer. I never do that - with Praxis that is the biggest improvement."

"I have a chronic auto-immune disease and when it flares, I may be bedridden for days. This kept me totally disabled for a few years, but about two years ago, we opened a solo practice and are trying to keep things going. It has been tough and finances are not good -- if the only doctor is out sick one third of the year, money won't come into the practice as it should and must. Several weeks ago, I had a flare of this illness and was out for three weeks. About that time, the state Medicaid fund ran out and reimbursement stopped (that's about 35% of our income). If this had happened three in January 2004, we would have had to lay off our staff and close our practice. Why didn't we have to do that in late March? We had Praxis 3.0!"
