There are many things to consider when selecting the right practice management software and after researching over 120 software programs, and helping over 1500 practices, we can easily state "all software is not alike!" Many software programs look very similar and this makes it difficult to know what to look for, or more specifically what to watch out for. Absolute Requirements Multiple Cases Each patient can have unlimited cases simultaneously (think of cases as sub-accounts). A patients is a Cash patient and gets hurt on the job. Later they are injured in an auto accident. Why open up a whole new account for each case? (Workflow, workflow, workflow!) Easy Case Access from any Patient window Unlike other software (if they have multiple case capability), accessing different patient cases is tedious. Usually you have to close one case to open another case. Quixote allows easy access from any patient tab. Ex. Looking at the work comp ledger and want to quickly look at the patient's insurance ledger, just click on insurance in the case window conveniently and always located on the lower left. Case Status Quixote allows you to assign a case status, so cases that are closed or waiting for payment are not included in the active cases. This saves time and reduces possible posting and scheduling errors to closed or pending cases. Document Storage Unlike the few software programs that have document storage capability (x-rays, insurance cards, EOB's, photos, documents, etc.), Quixote actually stores these in the patient records. Other software links the documents in the patient records from the hard drive. This means if you are not backing up the hard drive that actually contains the images/documents they could be lost or stolen. Quixote stores these images in Quixote on the QuixoteBoxx that is automatically being backed up every evening. Your records are always safe and available. Even if the QuixoteBoxx should be stolen, all your data, including these images can be restored. Wow! This is an important business consideration! Ledger Absolute the easiest and most versatile ledger of any software program! Your staff can customize their views and see everything from one window! (No switching between insurance ledger and patients ledgers, yikes!) Efficiency and workflow, that's Quixote! .NETOn one else has ever gone to the trouble of conducting Time and Motion studies. Researched all existing software solutions and extracted the best elements, employed the latest technology including .NET, and crafted a solution aimed squarely at the operation of a chiropractic clinic. Programs written in .NET take full advantage of the new emerging Internet world (Automatic Updates for example). It’s as significant as the shift was from DOS to Windows. ![]() ![]() ![]() No other program is written 100% from the ground up in Microsoft’s .NET format. Why invest in yesterday’s technology? |
