Comparative Analysis Of Epic And NueMD EHR Programs

It was very interesting researching and comparing both Epic and NueMD EHR programs because they are both very useful. They both have amazing qualities and services. Although similar programs they each offer more of some things than the other. I can see why many rely in these programs because they ensure safety, organization, easy to navigate and very helpful in health facilities. First I will explain details about each program and its services and then I will compare the two.

According to my research in the Epic website, the program was founded in a basement in 1979 with 1 ½ employees. This was very impressive to me. It is software created with the goal to always help people improve their health and continue to stay healthy. I learned that more than 200 million patients have their electronic records with Epic. Epic has evolved over the years and now is accessible to patient’s homes as well as their mobile phones. Epic is relied on by many facilities. Epic is huge in community hospitals. Epic is used in academic medical centers, teaching our future generations of physicians and medical staff to remain organized and better help people. Children organizations also rely on Epic software, safety net providers, retail clinics, multi-specialty groups, just to name a few of many.I mean the list is amazing of the amount of facilities and companies use this software. NueMD software is a very good and helpful software. It has many good qualities. NueMD was founded in 1993 according to the website.

The software ensures better time management than other software. NueMD is evolving with all the new technologies as the years pass. Their focus is in making sure that practices get all the reimbursement they deserve for their services. As we all know insurance companies always make it difficult to reimburse for services so they find loop holes to deny claims. NueMD is a quote based software the same as Epic. Their customer base types are small businesses, large enterprises as well as medium size businesses. NueMD software allows more devices to have access to their software than Epic. You can access NueMD through Windows, Linux, Android, iPhone/iPad, Mac and it’s web-based. With Epic you can only have access through Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad and its web-based as well.

Epic EHR software is utilized by large enterprises. I honestly would prefer to use NueMD or work in a facility that relies on NueMD. I appreciate that NueMD seems to offer many more features than Epic that can make the job easier much more effective and successful. The beauty about the software to me is more that the patients can have more access to their own medical records. Not many can afford Apple products and NueMD proves consideration in that part while Epic does not. NueMD has definitely won me over with the features they offer. Their list of features is double the amount that Epic offers. It makes a difference to have many more options to successfully manage not only the clinical side of medicine but the business side as well. It shows more attention to detail and allows practices to better time management and faster organization, making it better or the patients as well.

NueMD has a patient portal, appointment notifications, E-prescribing, patient access to medical records, pharmacy organizer and many more. Epic does great things like Telemedicine when NueMD does not. Epic also offers care at a distance and decision support tools and more but not as many features as NueMD. To me it is important to help large enterprises but I feel that small businesses should not be exempt from having good resources. Both Epic and NueMD offer great training. Small businesses grow and having the right tools is essential in that growth.
