Synopsis Amazing Charts is an Electronic Medical Records/Electronic Health Records'(EMR/EHR)' software that was developed in 2001 by Jonathan Bertman, MD, FAAFP, a family physician in Rhode Island. This software's superior ratings of usability, it's fair pricing, and overall user satisfaction has sold thousands of units to different practices adding over 75 new practices each month.
History In 1999, Dr. Bertman wanted to implement an Electronic Health Records system to manage his entire medical practice in an attempt to eliminate paper charting. He was in search of an EHR that would have the ability to schedule appointments, message within the facilities staff, store patient's charts, and deal with billing issues, be easy to install, learn, and use, all while maintaining his $10,000 budget. After thorough search he was unable to find a software that met his needs so he decided to build one himself. Dr. Bertman began his endeavor of creating such software by self-teaching himself programming language and through trial and error he was able to create the software's interface. The next stage was a matter of adding fields that were used by physicians and corresponded to the database storage fields. Once Dr. Bertman finalized all the details to his software he implemented the EHR to his own practice. His EHR was successful in his practice, and slowly made his software available for purchase on the internet. Through word-of-mouth advertising, orders for his software began increasing. Amazing Charts has become one of the most popular EHR programs in the United States, with over 5,000 practices who have already implemented the EHR in their practices and many more are in their free three month trial. Amazing Charts provides economic convenience compared to the overpriced and overly complicated programs being used in other practices.

Even with Meaningful Use requirements are added, Amazing Charts continues to rank highly in being user friendly, which has made it more appealing than its major competitors such as Allscripts, Greenway PRIME suite, and Practice Fusion.[1] Major functions include the following features: Office Flow [2] and Office Visit Cycle Time[3] Charting[4] Scheduling Messaging ePrescribing[5] Reporting Billing[6] Templates Mobile Solution Through multiple studies this system claims that it can perform the above functions at a level significantly better than any other (EHR/EMR) system available today (including those costing tens of thousands of dollars more). This software ranks as the #1 system for usability and affordability. 'Note: This is a great article about being a genius which goes hand in hand with the following quote “if you can’t find it, create or build one that is suitable to your own needs” This is what makes the United States of America a great country that stands on the cutting edge of creativity. Dr. Bertman took it and delivered a product which is user friendly and affordable with a fantastic marketing name “Amazing Charts”.''''
