Behavioral Health Technician, BHT

The system supports accurate and timely clinical documentation and works well for behavioral health services. When challenges arose, management was responsive and worked with us to customize the platform to better meet BHRF’s operational, clinical, and compliance needs, which improved efficiency and usability

The system works well across multiple disciplines and supports scheduling, clinical documentation, and seamless billing in one integrated platform.

The system allows for clear, efficient documentation tailored to clinical and compliance needs, making it easier to maintain accurate records while saving time

Clinical Coordinator

I love the ease of navigating between charts, the set up for finding information is defined beautifully, and ability to contact EHR to modify to our company's needs is seamless and they are quick.

Therapist

I have used EHR your way to document psychology evaluations and psychotherapy progress notes for the past 4 years; the platform is exceptionally easy to use, allows for comprehensive clinical documentation in an easy-to-use interface and is free of any bugs or issues that I have encountered on other platforms.  

Substance use counselor

The system occasionally felt rigid, with limited customization options and slower loading times during high-use periods, which disrupted workflow and made certain documentation tasks less efficient.

What I like least is the lack of data continuity between forms; information like the Family section should auto-populate from the Assessment into SOAP notes to reduce redundancy.

Front Office Supervisor

For 2.5 years, I've used EHR Your Way, transitioning from Office Ally (appointments/billing), paper charts, Podium (payments), and FormDr.

Director

I was overwhelmed trying to manage client notes, billing, and scheduling across multiple platforms, but EHRYW streamlined everything in one secure, easy-to-use system.

Clinical Mental Health Therapist and Assistant Director of Family Centered Treatment

I worked closely with an individual within our company who utilizes EHR to help us build specific pages we need and they are always so thorough about giving us exactly what we’ve asked for. And work tirelessly back-and-forth until it’s perfect.

It would be great if the platform has a function to notify you of upcoming due dates instead of having to manually go through my caseload to keep track of things.

Registered Dietitian

I wish there were more features for tracking growth, like embedded growth charts, but even without that I appreciate what they do have to look at anthropometrics.

Patient Services Administrator

The timer that logs you out for inactivity is a little short, but that makes sense to protect private data if someone steps away from their computer without logging out.

I appreciated the platform’s intuitive layout and streamlined navigation, which made documentation efficient and minimized time spent searching for features.

User friendly design, making clinical documentation and scheduling as well as improvement with compliance for billing/insurance purposes.

I feel confident using EHR YOUR WAY because it prioritizes HIPAA compliance and offers important security measures such as data encryption.

Billing Admin

Its customizable forms, note templates, and program workflows let us tailor care without constant developer help.

Medical Specialist

Patient portals allow access to records, lab results, and communication with providers.

Clinical Director

The one change I would like to see is making it just a smidge more streamlined to enter a progress note without having to schedule the appointment first, however for many roles, it does make sense to do it this way.

What really sets them apart is their personalized support — I’ve never felt like “just another account.” When I needed help setting up templates for treatment plans, their team responded quickly and walked me through step by step.

IT Support Specialist

It has a nice versatility. When our team needs customization for internal or regulatory reasons, EYW has been able to make it happen.

Medical Assistant

EHR your way has an easy access to manage around patient portals, and when there is any issues with the system we can easily contact them for support.

Administrator

EHR Your Way is extremely customizable and flexible, which makes it well-suited for group practices with complex workflows.

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor

The platform feels reliable, intuitive, and designed with clinicians in mind, which makes day-to-day work smoother and more efficient.

I used the system from 2022-23 and I often got caught in areas when trying to put in diagnosis and it was quite hard to find the one I want and then have it end up in my report.

Executive Director

We need to engage our clients more proactively to share information in the patient portal but we have not used that portion of the program as of yet.

Staff Mental Health Specialist, Supervisor

The features and ability to customize for our needs has been great. As supervisors we are able to follow the client timeline.

BCBA

Before I found out you can link your google calendar, I would sometimes miss seeing scheduled meetings on my EHR calendar.

RN, CADC

Although the system is customizable, implementing adjustments to meet our specific needs can at times require additional time.

The patient portal lets patients sign off on documents without hassle of physical paperwork.

I appreciate the level of control it gives practices that want to build systems around their actual needs rather than force their practice to fit the software.

IT Systems Admin

EHR Your Way, is one of many EHR or EMR systems I have used during my 15+ years in medical billing. When I became system admin form my current company, I had both user and analyst knowledge.

It provides the essential tools needed for clinical documentation and practice management without being overly complicated.

Admissions Specialist

EHR YOUR WAY is an efficient and effective way to keep track of clients details while also easily communicating with colleagues.

Enables quality tracking, population health management, and compliance reporting.

the frequent changes, it is more a me thing as I get used to any website how it works then takes me time to adjust to the new format

Overall, EHR Your Way is a cost-effective, reliable solution that supports both high-quality care and efficient practice management.

Case Manager

I appreciate the organization of the inbox, and the multiple uses for EHR alerts and reminders.

Mental Health and Substance Abuse Counselor

EHR Your Way offers robust scheduling tools, progress note options, and billing features, which streamline administrative tasks and save time.

Virtual Therapist and Supervisor

Zoom has issues with sending reminder links at times, not often, which is not reflective of EHRYW.

Intensive case manager

The only thing I have had an issue with that makes me least like it is that there are sometimes glitches that occur with notes from another department.

Certified Recovery Specialist

Also, you can easily view the "saved as draft" section to quickly check if you signed off on all noted.

I have never had clients' complain about using the patient portal, and find it a easy way for getting releases signed and submitted.

Clinical Social Worker

It allows providers to document quickly without sacrificing accuracy or thoroughness.

There is strong customer support and the patient portal is accessible for patients who struggle with technology.

Intake forms auto populating onto the assessments and progress notes makes writing progress notes and assessments so easy and saves me so much time.

What I like most about EHR YOUR WAY is how intuitive and user-friendly the platform is, which made the transition from my previous system, Avatar, incredibly smooth and easy.

Additionally, it is frustrating that the windows are consistently too small whenever I reopen a note from a draft.

Director of Guardianship

EHR is very user friendly for our guardianship staff and they are much more efficient in documentation and the provision of services.  

Security’s solid with HIPAA compliant coverage and customer support actually responds and fixes things fast.

Physician owner

Used for over 15 years, continues to evolve with the changing landscape in medicine, keeps getting better with unique added features that further improve workflow, security, flexibility, interfacing with other medical/laboratory software programs.

President

It has advanced SQL capability which allows me to run queries on my custom data to produce reports to enhance patient care and services.

Physician

The logic of the concept processor which allows me to build my assessments based on the way that I think.

Owner and Provider

It also helps me stay consistent throughout the complete patient experience as it helps me remember what has been done before for patient's with similar presentations.

The design of the EMR is wonderful: Praxis able to learn with every new case and really make you feel that you have a partner who is always next to you to help.

physician

Overall, I find Praxis EMR to be excellent. Because it is customizable, I am able to create a written handout for each patient which I provide at each visit.

Medical Practitioner

The AI-driven design lets me document naturally without all the clicking and rigid steps found in my prior system.

There are lots of ways to interact securely with the patient portal to deliver information and answer questions as well.

Owner Physcian

It helps prevent documentation errors and significantly boosts efficiency, which is crucial in a busy practice. When it comes to coding, Praxis makes it simple to integrate and adjust within the documentation process, including adding necessary modifiers.

Of course data could be  queried for statistical analysis of the practice and to comply with government regulators mandates.

R.N.

The AI system is great and it’s like having a scribe or a personal assistant that learns from our charting as we see patients, and it also learns from our staff within the office.

Officed Manager

At time the prescriptions get hung up and you can't prescribe two same meds with different doses at the same time.

The support staff have been professional and responsive to questions and gone over and above to assist in learning and setting up the EMR to work optimally for me.

You see, a physician can either mold their way of charting to the EMR or the EMR can be molded to the physician's way of charting.

Director of Clinical Operations

Praxis has opened up a whole new level of creativity allowing us to develop more efficient and competent care to our patients.

APRN

Customer support is excellent, and while more billing integrations would be beneficial, the flexibility and customization Praxis offers make it an outstanding choice for any practice looking to improve efficiency and documentation quality.

Note taking is much speedier than a traditional template system and also reminds me of what I'm looking for.

My notes with Praxis are all complete about 2 minutes following a visit, including sending referrals and prescriptions.  

This EMR has great value for the money spent with great customer support: reliable and responsive when help was needed.

Analist

Instead of forcing me into endless clicking, and it adapts to my clinical thinking and style.

My notes are more specific to the patient than they would be with templates.  

Praxis has made my documentation smoother, faster, abd my work day easier.

We had a Praxis employee walk us through setting up our templates and teach us how to navigate the program and that helped a lot.  

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

lack of fax capability, otherwise no significant draw backs, the save as knowledge function can take time to learn.

Over time, charting has gotten faster and more accurate, and I spend less time fighting the system.

I could not ask for better customer support and value for my money to make my work flow easier.

The general software layout is intuitive with layered powers for advanced users who maybe doing research on patient outcomes.

It has provided a unique experience to customize the patient encounters, instructions, procedure notes, etc.  

What I really like about Praxis is that they are only EMR, and not a packaged practice management software with a so-so EMR.

Clinic Manager

I love the fact that as an administrator, I can generate report which can then be used to make decision regarding my nursing staff and so on.

Its very easy use and you are able to edit a note or do an addendum.

It helps me take better care of my patients.

I chose the best EMR for me as a physician and integrated it with the PMS the office manager said was the best.

Praxis provides a very usable physician friendly format.

MD and President

The other side of tihs coin is that the staffing may not always be adequate to the task at hand ( eg system upgrades, new version, etc).

This kind of flexibility is essential in a fast-paced clinic, unlike template systems, where editing can be a headache.

The ease of use, not having to click on each point , I am able to free write notes on specified patient and it will save to that specific patient or also save in general for patients with similar diagnosis

Completing and closing charts has never been easier.
