For the billing department, “payments are so much easier,” says Barbara, “with Aprima I can use the system to post payments and correct any issues I have along the way with things like allocating or take-backs. It’s very user friendly and makes it easier to do our jobs.”

“We choose to buy Aprima from DAS because they were local, affordable and offered very good functionality. Other systems we looked at weren’t local and training was separate,” says Souchet, “We’d have to fly out and pay for people to be trained or have web-based training which is not practical.”

Pedro Montanez, MD
Dr. Montanez’s advice for other Pediatricians preparing to implement EHR? “Look into the customization options and start the process early.

Not just in the sale, but also after the sale – they have to be there for you. It’s not just what they create for you but how they service the product.”
