and among other providers. No nickel and dime charges. Receptive customer
service.”
— Dr. Lisa L. Wong

world, if we both have an internet connection their data is available to them.”
— ElationEMR client Dr. Susan Sorenson

and substance abuse practices. The software serves small clinical practices and
large, multi-location providers alike.
Overall Rating:
Example of a Real User Review:
“I have never worked with an EHR vendor that turns out updates and entire product
enhancements on a dime. They are just big enough as a company to handle large
implementations but they haven't lost that personal touch in terms of lightening fast
support and development. I am always proud to offer them as one of our vendors of
choice to providers.”
— Kristin Walker, EverythingEHR
Patient Portal Case Study:
“We have reduced our use of paper substantially, more so in the last six to eight
months, but generally over the past two years we’ve used ClinicTracker.”
— Bruce Buchanan, LISW, BCD from Compass Clinical Associates
14. ClinicTracker Connect Portal: Pre-Visit Form Functionality

patient satisfaction and give your practice a head start preparing for visits.

more. This software is suited for all specialties and sizes.

“What I like most about eClinicalWorks is that it is very user-friendly. Literally
anyone can learn it quickly and, if you didn't grasp it the first time, it is made very
easy to figure out without having to call eClinicalWorks. Another thing that I like
about eClinicalWorks is that it makes registering the patient very easy and fast.”
— Brenny Olmedo, Resurrection Health
Patient Portal Case Study:
“With a 90% adoption rate of the eClinicalWorks Patient Portal, patients have access
to communicate on their schedule, while also enhancing their understanding of
treatment. Since implementing eClinicalWorks, MedPeds has saved $1,641,295, a
174% return on investment (ROI).”
— eClinicalWorks’ Heather Caouette referring to a client, medical practice “MedPeds”
