Customized dashboards and widgets enabling you to view your data graphically. Dig deeper by filtering, query, and extract subsets directly into Excel or other exporting formats. Access your data the way that you want it – when you want it – without waiting for someone to do it for you.

Our famous Virtual Scribe (or as some of our customers call it their Surgical Scribe) compiles the notes for surgeons so you can eliminate dictation.

Online Reputation

Integrate and automate your patient experience directly across several online review sites and manage a positive review where most patients find providers and products that are right for them.

EDC/Research

The phiSuite application houses a full set of tools for your research needs in a far superior product than most EDC systems. This includes remote data capture, site monitoring, audit logs and site communication tools.

Language & Culture

Ortech built the system over 25 years ago with international collaboration and multi-center studies in mind. Capabilities extend to being able to control language and culture settings for both patients and users.

Interfacing/Reporting

Ortech sends over a million interface transactions per day with most major EMR and EHR Systems (e.g., EPIC, Cerner, Meditech, etc.). For those sites that do not allow for integration, Ortech has built a tool for you to upload any required data. In addition to integrations with EMRs, Ortech has built extracting tools for submitting to third parties (e.g., CMS, AJRR, ASR, etc).

And so much more...
