Chiropractic Software Reviews

Future Health eConnect
Future Health has recently launched a new product called eConnect. According to their website, eConnect contains all the basics required for successful EHR implementation and practice management. Their selling point is that their 'base' software is offered at no cost to the user. So what's the catch? That's what we wanted to find out.

As previously stated, they actually do offer their software at no cost, but this applies only to their 'base' software - a barebones, stripped down version of their complete practice management system. If you want a comparable practice management system to what competitors are offering, you will need to purchase several of the add-on applications they offer for an additional fee. In our opinion, their free 'base' software is a way to 'bait' new users, who will ultimately need to purchase several of these add-ons if they want, at the very least, a practice management system that is both efficient and cost effective.

Future Health actually recommends the purchase of at least two of these add-ons which will run you about $590.00. If you want their full scale practice management system complete with all add-ons, it will run you about $6,000.00. In addition to having to buy these add-on modules, users are also required to pay for data storage which will run you about $300.00 per year for 2 gigabytes of data. As your practice grows, so to will your data storage needs. Future Health offers additional data storage for about $95.00 per year per gigabyte. We feel these data storage fees are excessive as their are many online companies offering secure data management with encryption for as little as $60.00 per year for up to 5 gigabytes. The same amount of data storage from Future Health would run you a whopping $685.00 per year! Data storage fees are an obvious source of revenue for this company and must be considered prior to electing to implement a practice management system like eConnect.

At the very least, with the purchase of the two recommended add-ons, your initial cost would be about $890.00 for the first year, with an ongoing charge of at least $300.00 per year for data storage.  If you're seeking to qualify for the $44,000 government incentive, and want Future Health's assistance, there is an EHR Certification application you will need to purchase for an additional $2,495.00. In addition to our review, Future Health has received some very poor and concerning reviews from their own clients which have been posted to the Capterra software directory.

Quixote Chiropractic Software
Quixote chiropractic software is distributed/marketed by San Diego based Private Practice Technologies. Quixote offers a full practice management solution for chiropractic offices. Their system features an advanced and attractive appointment scheduler, integrated billing system with electronic billing capabilities, automated reporting and an electronic document management system. Quixote is on the few "next-generation" practice management systems that is built using the latest .NET technology. Quixote also features automated off-site daily backups of critical information so data loss and recovery is never an issue. On the downside, these features do not come without a price - a steep one in our opinion. The last time we checked, the complete Quixote practice management system was retailing for $9,800.00. Their may be additional charges for support and maintenance, and additional hardware as well, making this one of the more expensive chiropractic software systems on the market today. Overall, it's an excellent system. For more information, please visit their website. 

Platinum Systems Chiropractic Office Software
Platinum Systems is a full practice management solution designed especially for the chiropractic profession. Platinum Systems is a Canadian-based company  founded by Mr. Claude Côté. Platinum System presents a new organizational structure adapted to the chiropractic clinics. The complete system offers a total of 10 integrated modules including reception/administration management, document management, arrivals management, patient calling, x-ray and posture analysis, electronic travel card, communication, recall, clinic diagnosis and backup. Two additional modules are also available. These include vertebral thermography evaluation and pre-authorized payment. When we called the company's support line, we were placed on hold for more than 10 minutes and were constantly reminded that most calls are answered immediately. When we finally reached a representative and inquired about pricing, we were told that we had to call another number (which we did and received a voice mail). The representative we spoke with explained that the cost of the system was around "$700.00 per month" and was unsure as to how many months the term of the contract was. To implement the Platinum System, one needs to purchase not only their software, but an additional server, sign-in computer, adjustment room computers, and up to two front-desk computers! The cost of this system can add up very quickly. In our opinion, the system is a bit excessive for the needs of most doctors, and similar features and functionality can be found in other systems costing much less.
