Pros

RXNT user reviews on Software Advice:
Pros
- “Prescribing app is fantastic – can send refills or new prescriptions easily from the phone, and also see any signed notes if you have questions to consult before prescribing.”

- “It’s so easy to navigate and chart. I like that it is customizable. I like being able to work from home too.”

- “Notes – many dropdowns, and hard to scroll between drop downs, rather than being broken up into sections on the side bar that you can easily click through.”
- “The appointments are not color coded. I can’t glance at the schedule and see when I have a new patient, I have to read every appointment.”
- “When entering Pt’s info in the demographics, it would be useful to have a suggestion tool pulling from pt’s MPI in Artworks, to save time of typing it all.”

- “The MedicsPremier is very user-friendly. It makes the medical practice efficient and effective thereby enhancing performance in the clinic.”

- “Secondary claims that need to be sent to insurance for some reason never go automatically. I am not sure what exactly I am doing wrong or if that is just how it is.”
