24 Praxis EMR Testimonials

"As the Chief of a very busy Urgent Care Center, I had been actively looking for an electronic medical record system ... I was immediately impressed (with PRAXIS). It is such an easy program to learn, even my most computer illiterate physicians should not have any problem. The Urgent Care physicians are convinced that the PRAXIS program will decrease their medical risks by vastly improving their documentation.... Keep up the good work!"

"Glad to hear you are looking into Praxis EMR! I can only say great things about the Praxis Program and the personnel. I went through a number of EHR programs and nothing met my needs like Praxis EMR. The program is the absolute best at tailoring notes to your practice; Praxis notes very easy to modify or add to. I have tailored my chart note in order of how I document/to my flow of treatment. Other programs required me to contact the programmer or vendor and have them modify the note for me--this took a couple days for them to get to it. Praxis makes it easy to set up a note and make sure I document everything I see-and allow me to free-type anything I need to add. I could go on and on. But I think you want the bullet point version. I know I like the nuts and bolts of things."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"When I first saw Praxis…I was happily surprised to see a system work a lot like I already practiced… We had a lot of technical problems with the other system we had been using, which can be a catastrophe for a paperless office!"

"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 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.”

"The most important aspect of medical office software, after billing, would be the creation of the patient data in a way that not only maximizes care but also minimizes your time doing this. Therefore, out of my experience as a cardiologist and software developer, I would highly recommend PRAXIS as the single best way to do that today."

"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!"

"I see between 25 and 30 patients per day. I now enter about 75-80% of my notes using PRAXIS, and I do it between patients. My nurse informs me that it hasn't slowed me down, but I think it takes about 2-3 minutes to do a note, where before it would take 1-2 minutes. For 1 minute more time, I save about $3 for transcription costs. That's a great deal if you think about it. My quarterly costs for transcription were $2400. With PRAXIS, I see this cost going down to $500-$800."

"It appears to me that the success of family medicine in the near future revolves around information management. I have been quite pleased that PRAXIS has taken the first step in creating a tool which allows me to actively blend current medical data into my active patient files. This allows me to become more aggressive in my work-ups. It helps me to avoid forgetting the details of treatments I learned six months ago. But is much more practical than template software which is awkward to reconfigure when there are subtle changes in patient presentation. It provides a way to annotate my treatments with literature references and is quite helpful in medico-legally supporting my treatment choices. If the success of medicine in the future revolves around information management. ... Praxis has taken the first step."
