iPro Lite allows users to capture and transmit patient data, charge information to your billing entity and is also a tool to collect and submit practice defined quality measures (e.g. MACRA). iProcedures recognizes the constantly changing requirements imposed on providers to collect and report quality measures. We understand the need for a solution to ensure compliance as measures are frequently amended. Given this, iProcedures developed a platform to collect the MACRA/MIPS and other quality measures. This customizable platform allows users to define exactly which measures they wish to collect, and it will be frequently updated to keep up with the latest requirements imposed on the anesthesia providers. In addition to collecting the quality measures, this app will also capture and transmit patient information and charge information to your billing entity to speed up the billing process. Highlights: • Helps ensure compliance and avoid penalties • Single point for submission to multiple registries • Open platform capable of interfacing with billing • Speeds billing and collection cycle • Customizable • Frequent updates

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Block Buddy Pro at 2.8 against iPro Lite's 2.3.

On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
