Build an EMR around Heidi
Keeve de Villiers
Hey, Team, I've been using Heidi full time in the clinic and the emergency department over the last two weeks, and just wanted to let you know that it's been a great experience!
My practice is primarily based out of the hospital or as a locum, and as such, I don't have my own EMR. I do see some patients outside of those settings for medical assistance and dying, which I mainly do home visits and my own scheduling. And it doesn't seem like a giant leap for me to imagine Heidi being a fully functional EMR for me.
I assume you guys are already thinking this way, given the AI scheduling assistant and some of the features you've added recently, including the patient list. But I just wanted to encourage you that I would certainly be interested in a more fleshed out EMR like product that could directly send prescriptions electronically, do scheduling and maintain a cumulative patient profile, set reminders for f/u etc and obviously integrate a billing function.
Many of the clinics in British Columbia that I work out of use Med Access and to get the most out of Heidi, I have to do a lot of copying and pasting. I'm sure it's not news to you that having this integrated directly into the EMR would be a logical next step.
I'm sure the team continues to iterate on the current product, but I was wondering if you ever need physician beta testers? I would definitely be interested in Being a part of something like that? I've done some consulting work on other EMRs, and as a locum, I've worked on a considerable number of platforms in Alberta and BC.
Feel free to reach out directly to me at ksdevilliers@gmail.com :)

Heidi marketing team are having trouble getting EMR vendors to allow integration so it would be so much better if Heidi offered a Heidi EMR. EMR's are designed by tech people who have no idea what doctors need, I have used many different EMR's and they don't ever take physician suggestions and they never seem to perform any updates. With so much patient information being stored in Heidi and with Heidi being able to link sessions, it is like Heidi is already starting to replace the EMR.

I third this!! So desperate for Heidi to bring out their own EMR, there's a huge gap on the market and I'm trying to hold off changing practice management until I hear if Heidi has something in the works... I trust you guys to do a good job!
