"I just had some charts, etc
audited by someone who is a professional coder /
auditor for medicare.
I just wanted you to know that the medinotes
documentation and coding/ billing with medisoft link
was something this person had never seen before.
She said in all her years of auditing that this was
the best system she had ever seen.
This thing is bullet proof ! This proved it ! She
loved the entire system."

'Medinotes has really
helped us streamline our group practice. We have 3 sites
and we link them via VPN. We can all see each other's
notes clearly and live. We cannot survive without
Medinotes. It has definitely replaced at least 1 1/2
full time staff position, by reducing the amount of time
looking for paper charts, deciphering them and faxing
them.'

"With Charting Plus, I am able
to download labs over the Internet, view them and file them away
with the click of a button. My dictation costs went from an
average of $500/month to $0. Charting Plus gives me the freedom
to modify the program to fit my style of practice. My office
staff is in love with this program, it has lessened the workload
of every one of us."

"After I purchased EHR software (Charting
Plus), I was able to reduce my staff by three people, a savings
of $75,000 per year and that is a permanent manpower reduction.
Actually I see 20 to 25% more patients per day than I did before
I had the software. I am more efficient because what I do now is
see patients, not produce a record of the visit; the EHR
software (Charting Plus) does that."
Dr. Michael R. Hoffmann, M.D.

This past year it had the
ultimate test. I had to re-certify for my specialty
boards. This was the ultimate test because an
esteemed group of peers would be examining eight
complex records with a "magnifying glass." I was
concerned. Board certification is very important and
I did not want to lose it on account of problems
with my records. Well, I passed with flying colors.
I never would have accomplished this had it not been
for Charting Plus.

"There are few things in the practice of
medicine that have truly revolutionized the way I practice
medicine - Charting Plus is one of those things. Charting Plus
has significantly affected my personal life - I reduced my
after-hours charting from 3 hours to about 10 minutes per day!"

"We have been using
Charting Plus for over 2yrs on our Windows 2000 server
and have passed our Medicare audit w/ flying
colors....in fact the auditor thought this was amazing
that we could be so thorough as our clinic is very
complex....nucs, lab, x ray, vascular, echo, surg,
ultrasound, neurodiagnostics etc...."
"Charting Plus
absolutely saved my bacon, without it I would have had
difficulty producing documentation and would have had to
repay $150,000 to Medicare! My return on investment has
been about 2,000%."

"I am sure there is a tremendous amount of
things this program will do that will help me in my practice. My
wife is a RN who does quality management for an insurance
company. She reviews physician's records to check levels of
documentation. I showed her one of my finished initial visit
notes and she said it was the best she had seen. Great job!"

I have been using
Charting Plus for 3 years and have been very happy. No
longer do we have the problem of a chart being lost. No
more offsite record storage or retrieval has saved
money, time, and increased revenue. At then end of the
day, I usually have all my notes finished. All I have
left to do is sign the letters back to the re-offering
physician. Transcription costs have gone from $300+ a
month to zero. Alerts are a snap and the program allows
complete tracking and follow up resolution to sensitive
areas like abnormal pap smears, abnormal mammograms, and
abnormal biopsy results. This program has been very easy
to learn, enhanced my productivity, decreased my costs
and increased my free time. Charting Plus is an
excellent cost effective way to move into electronic
records.

This program is a template
model that allows me to determine how the templates
are constructed both in terms of my style of
practice and the terminology I use. In addition, it
gives me the ability to make changes on the fly as
notes are being constructed.
Within four months I began to use the program with
increasing speed and I was no longer dictating for a
transcriptionist. By making this transition I have
saved $1200 to $1500 per month in transcription fees
and have cut two to four hours a day off my schedule
because I no longer have to edit and print the
transcriptions.
I now have dinner at home more often because of the
time saved with Medinotes…

"Frankly, I'm just blown away by how easy
this program is and how easily we can customize it. You can
quote me on that!"

"Just thought I should let you
know I was hit by a Medicare prepayment audit of 3
claims in May 98. The claims included E&M level 3
codes (99213) as well as regular tx codes. All 3
claims were paid the next month. This is why I
bought your program. Keep up the good work."

"Charting Plus has one tremendous
feature that sets it apart from all other EHRs on the
market, the amazing ability to continue to add options
to the program on the fly. Based on how easy Charting
Plus is to customize, I can't imagine any specialty that
would not be able to use this program!"

"Best investment I ever made"
Dr. Eugene Batelli, D.P.M.
"I have already started to 'sell' medinotes
as an idea for changing from dictation in the practice I am
purchasing. Once they see the vast potential they will think I'm
a genius! Do you sell stock? Maybe I can get in early if you all
are going to be the next Microsoft!"
Debra Young, D.P.M.
"The program is great - could not manage w/o
it !"
Dr. Robert Solomon, M.D.
"C+ is one of the best moves I
ever made. Seriously."
Michael Loeffler, M.D.
"I've used Medinotes since 1998. When I
started I was totally computed illiterate. One sales person
joked that "if I could learn the program, anyone could". Now I
can't imagine running my practice without it. I do 95-100% of
the notes on it.
When I was new to Medinotes, a new patient
with multiple problems and a long complicated history was easier
to dictate, but over the years I find these patients fewer and
fewer. I added a second doctor a year ago and he only uses
Medinotes...never dictates. You will save LOTS of time, LOTS of
money on dictation, and get better quality notes. Five minutes
after the last patient leaves for the day, all the notes are
done, referral letters written and everything is printed and in
the chart. Just the ease of doing a few referral letters a day
is probably worth the price. Support is outstanding, and the
price is low for the total product you get. Having all your
charts with you all the time on a laptop is frequently a real
crisis saver in our 2-office practice."
Dr. David Nelson
"The product is easy to learn
and easy to use. It is very flexible and adaptable to any
specific procedures or protocols an individual practice may
utilize. ...I would rate this product as a 10."
Dr. Thomas Pusterla
"The Charting Plusâ„¢ notes that
I purchased at the recent SAM seminar are great. I've found that
they tend to prompt me into documenting all the things that I've
already done....like patient education...diabetic
counseling....shoe discussions.....muscle volume.....general
patient appearance....etc. but have not usually taken the time
to write."
"Thanks for taking the time to explain the
program at the seminar...my only regret is that I did not buy
the program when you first showed it to me a few years ago.
Please feel free to use my name as a reference to other
podiatrists who may still be on the fence."
Dr. Patricia Vitko-Shulla
"I want to thank you again for
the wonderful "pearls of wisdom" you passed along. I truly do
appreciate it. It has taken hours off my daily dictation. I
actually spent less than three minutes on an initial office
visit level 3!"
Dr. Michael G. Demner
"I love your software. It
is very easy to use once you get used to it, very fast. I find
it to be very complete. I anticipate your software will save us
approx $9,000 /yr in transcription costs!"
Dr. Christiane H. Gardner
"I have used Charting Plus
since it started when it was PodNotes. I believe it is the best
investment in my practice. It helps me chart efficiently and
effectively. It is excellent for following the appropriate
coding initiative. I can chart fast between patients so that all
charts are done at the end of the day! And i know that the
billing matches the charting for correct coding. It has helped
me code better, thus, even increase income. I find the program
extremely easy to use and very versatile. The support people are
the very best of all the computer technologies support people I
have ever used! That includes AppMed, Easyway, all Microsoft
products, wordperfect, Norton's, Dell, Gateway, and many others.
Buy it! Use it! You will LOVE the program."
Dr. Angeles M. Valdes
"I just wanted to send you a
sincere thank you for the wonderful program you have developed.
Just recently, I had a follow up audit by Medicare to evaluate
my coding versus the treatment rendered. Previously my charting
was not concise enough for Medicare and I was required to
reimburse some of the money to the Medicare program. I am
pleased to announce at this audit they found no problems and
congratulated me on the completeness of my records."
"It is due to your program
that I am able to rest easy knowing that all of my charting is
complete and accurate. The cost of your program has paid for
itself. It is the best money I have ever spent."
Dr. Rosa A. Montemayor
"I want to thank you for
creating and marketing MediNotes (Charting Plusâ„¢). It is a rare
pleasure when a product and its support services completely
exceed one's wildest expectations. My partner, and I purchased
MediNotes (Charting Plusâ„¢) at the AAD in March. We had two
specific needs when we began evaluating charting software.
First, we wanted to improve the legibility and quality of our
record keeping. In addition, we wanted to be able to eliminate
our transcription costs. We also hoped it would fully integrate
into our computer system, which is Millbrook Paradigm. I must
admit, after evaluating the options for note taking software, I
really wanted Nextgen. We have a windows based system and it
would have fully integrated into it. However, at the exorbitant
cost of $80K, it was a luxury which we decided to forego, and we
purchased MediNotes (Charting Plusâ„¢)."
"Since installing MediNotes (Charting
Plusâ„¢), I have been increasingly delighted with your product.
Your manual is well written and easy to follow. However, your
support staff is absolutely outstanding! I wish I had written
down names so I could complement them individually. I can tell
you that everyone who has assisted me along the learning curve
has been courteous, knowledgeable, patient, and extremely
helpful. I will be recommending your system to all of our
associates with enthusiasm and without reservation. I look
forward to a long association with your company. Thank you for
making a fine product with excellent support and service."

MediNotes to use. This system has very user-friendly software.
We are very happy and do no plan to switch."
Response to KLAS online survey
"I have been using Charting Plus for two
years. since its implementation, we have been able to become
completely paperless practice. In two years, the system has
never been down."
Response to KLAS online survey
"We decided to go with MediNotes because we
felt we needed to go with a standalone EMR system because we had
a horrible experience with our previous vendor who offered a
complete EMR and practice management solution. MediNotes came in
and showed a great product. They were willing to interface with
a practice management system and also would provide us with the
ability to interface to our instruments."
Response to KLAS online survey
"MediNotes has been very pleasant. They are
a joy with which to work, from the sales staff to the technical
support."
Response to KLAS online survey
"The people in both sales and support are
professional, and area pleasure to work with."
Response to KLAS online survey
"Oftentimes in Health IT, we get what we pay
for, but with MediNotes, we feel like we have the Cadillac of
EMRs and only paid for a Chevrolet."
Response to KLAS online survey
"This MediNotes Charting Plus EMR has
enabled us to get organized. We keep track of all the charts and
records. It also records the activities of the practice."
Response to KLAS online survey
"Using the detailed EMR allowed me to bill
higher code levels which have increase my payment intake by 30%.
The system paid for itself in less than one year and continues
to produce for the practice."
Response to KLAS online survey
"The software package is easy to use and the
cost cannot be beat."
