1. Trusted – Most Trusted Name in Electronic Medical Records (EMR)
CLINICARE has been developing, marketing and supporting computer software solutions for medical group practices in Canada and the US since 1984. We're in the business of helping physicians in small, medium and large practices. We support them in providing excellent quality care and in becoming more effective, more efficient and more profitable.
With more than 25 years of proven software application experience, we have learned what works and what doesn't work in doctors' offices. We know the prescription for a successful solution and we have the leadership in our team to carry out what needs to be done to grow, innovate and achieve success. That's why CLINICARE has become the most recognized provider of EMR in North America, and why we have achieved longevity in an industry where few companies achieve financial stability. We can confidently say to you "We're here for the future".
We have listened to our clients each and every year that we have been in business. At our Annual Users' Conferences we receive suggestions from physicians and their staff regarding ways to improve our products and services. We recognize that the people who use our software know what they need better than anyone else. We do listen and we introduce software enhancements every year. We also have a Software Steering Committee comprised of 40 of our physician users that reviews all suggested enhancements and prioritizes our development activities for the upcoming year.
You can depend on us to provide proven, stable and scalable practice management applications and EMR solutions that offer peace of mind.
We keep our promises. We deliver reliable solutions and we keep within budget.
CLINICARE has received the Best in KLAS award three years in a row for being North America's highest rated ambulatory EMR for groups of 6-25 physicians. In 2005 the Canadian Healthcare Information Technology Trade Association (CHITTA) honored CLINICARE with two awards: Company of the Year and Corporate Citizen of the Year.
We don't just say we deliver, we guarantee it. CLINICARE provides server up-time guarantees backed by financial credits. In addition, we demonstrate our commitment to our superior productivity features with a Buy-Back Guarantee. Ask your CLINICARE representative for details.
2. Affordable "On-Call" Pricing
If you're considering going chartless, you and your colleagues may be anxious about the eventual cost of implementing an electronic medical records system. Don't make a costly wrong first decision. Choosing an EMR is a big decision that involves a significant investment of time and financial resources. It is not cost effective or even feasible to be switching EMRs all the time, so you want to make sure your installation has the ability to satisfy your needs not just one year down the road but 20 years down the road.
Speak to us and discover how affordable our products and services are and how they can save you time and money when you invest in your medical practice.
We offer excellent products at an affordable price.
We provide an excellent Return On Investment.
Only CLINICARE offers "On-Call" pricing. You pay only for the functions your practice needs and the number of doctors using the system. If your practice expands or reduces the number of doctors, then the costs will be adjusted accordingly. We make EMR a variable cost, instead of a constant burden on overhead.
We also offer many ways for you to pay for our products. We understand that financial flexibility is crucial to physicians. With CLINICARE, you only pay for what you need. You can opt for subscription pricing with no upfront capital cost (on a 24, 36, 48, or 60-month term) or you can lease (with a 36, 48, or 60-month term), use an application service provider (ASP) or your own in-house (local) server. Please contact us for more details. We can help you decide what would work best for you.
3. Easy - Making Sense of EMR
At CLINICARE we've worked very hard during our 25 years in business to make our products easy to use, easy to learn and easy to choose. Our software may look unfamiliar at first, but once you've been talked through how it works, you'll find it very easy to use. Our strength is that once you've overcome the initial learning curve, you'll find many features and functions in our software that can grow with you. Most EMR programs that you can sit down and use without any training cannot offer these options.
We understand that the prospect of converting from paper records to electronic medical records can be intimidating for first-time users. Going chartless is a big step for many medical offices. We've been through this process with physicians and their employees hundreds of times. Our employees are sympathetic and approachable. It's easy doing business with us because we've listened to doctors across North America. We're familiar with your questions - and their answers, whether you're a family physician or specialist, a rural or urban doctor, in a large clinic or small. We also know how to provide flexible pricing, functionality and training to accommodate practices with doctors with diverse backgrounds, computer experience and interests. We realize you need an easy decision that all your doctors can agree upon now.
We promise we will work hard to make the purchase, implementation and training as simple and easy as feasible for you. We'll give your office a proposal that is easy to read and understand.
We will help you select your hardware and software, select a server and select a finance plan and contract.
What's more, we'll still be there for you once you've bought your EMR system. Our 'Windows' software is quick to learn and gives you the flexibility to practice medicine the way you wish. It doesn't force you to change your way of doing things just to fit the computer program.
We offer time-tested implementation and training options and our after-care/customer support is second to none. We like to work with you through the entire conversion process to make sure you become one more satisfied CLINICARE customer. We offer peace of mind.
4. On-Call for You - 24/7 Customer Support
We're confident that CLINICARE's products are the most reliable solutions on the market. That's why our customers buy from us again. However, should you encounter a problem - any problem - with your software, then our support team is on-call, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, 364 days a year (Christmas Day excluded).
We have the largest, most experienced support team in the industry. We employ one support person per 10 clients so you will be able to contact a friendly, experienced and knowledgeable CLINICARE employee whenever you need assistance. We also have an online knowledge base if you prefer to look for answers online. Our support staff are able to solve most problems on the first call (typically within 5 minutes).
5. For your Patients, your Practice and your Life
It may sound lofty, but at CLINICARE we genuinely want to make a difference to healthcare in North America. We are passionate about healthcare and work hard to help physicians provide the best possible patient care. We offer practice management application and electronic medical record systems that help physicians offer excellent quality care and improved patient safety.
Our systems also help improve office efficiency and offer a better quality of life for physicians and their staff. Our information systems reduce the stress and frustration among physicians and their staff that can result with paper records systems. The EMR helps streamline workflow, maximize productivity and minimize risk. Patient files don't go missing and they are always legible. Staff don't waste time searching for records or trying to decipher physician's handwriting. The elimination of wasted time trying to find and decipher a patient chart can dramatically improve the quality of care delivered and reduce overhead costs within the clinic. You and your staff can concentrate on providing better care. We have pioneered software that helps physicians improve chronic disease management and primary care delivery.
CLINICARE's award-winning EMR solution offers you a new flexibility to practice medicine the way you want to and the means to earn more money, while attracting and retaining colleagues in your practice.
Through the productivity gains provided by the workflow management facilities of Dr-InBasket, the efficiencies of our LabTrack application and instant access to charts, you'll find you can save up to one hour per day. What you do with this time is your choice - go home early, see more patients, spend more time with each patient - but you do get a choice!
The EMR also offers physicians increased flexibility. No longer do you need to be chained to your desk to complete paperwork, check patient files or review lab results. If you wish, you can bike to your office with a notepad in your backpack, check data on your PDA, read files on your laptop or desktop at home, or access files from a nursing home or operating room computer.
The benefits of electronic health records are many and varied. Please call CLINICARE if you'd like to learn more about how the EMR can help you deal with your increasing workload and increasing expectations upon your time. We can refer you to a colleague who is a CLINICARE user and willing to answer your questions.
