Fantastic

So convenient and easy to use!! 10/10 would recommend

ID verification not working

Doesn’t verify actual id after absurd amount of time

Not for us

We run a non-profit clinic for low-income folks. We don’t have an EHR. DocUpdate looked like a good option, but after prescribing a medication, I have no way to document it in our paper chart other than hand-writing in a note = writing the prescription again. DocUpdate does not have a way to print out the prescription! When I pointed this out to them, they advised me to take a screenshot. But it doesn’t include the patient’s name. When I pointed out the shortcomings of this, I was told that DocUpdate does not integrate with EHRs. If I had an EHR, I wouldn’t be trying DocUpdate. Ridiculous! My advice, if you’re looking for e-prescribing for your paper medical records, look elsewhere. If you have an EHR, use it. For prescribing, I don’t see a reason for DocUpdate to exist, at least in the current version.

Dont do it

its been a week since i out all my important medical info in this app and i'm still getting a message that im unable to prescribe due to some verification problem. Contacted support 3 times, 2 times rapid response but no resolution. Dont put your sensitive info into this app!

Can’t prescribe narcotics

I got this app to write narcotic prescriptions that I can’t call in to the pharmacy. This doesn’t seem to have the ability to do that so I see no use for it. I can have my front desk just call in a regular Rx and not have to input all the patient info.
