MERIDIQ vs WritePad EHR

MERIDIQ combines patient records, treatment notes, appointments and payments for chiropractic and osteopathy clinics. Records support assessments, SOAP notes, treatment records, templates and patient history. Patients can book online into a clinic calendar, with appointments linked to records and automated SMS reminders. The platform links payments to patients and treatments and also offers invoicing. It runs in a browser on computers, tablets and phones without installation, with Apple and Android apps also available. Listed integrations are Stripe, Viva Wallet and Google Calendar, which MERIDIQ says are included at no extra cost. Its public API is labeled Alpha, with tokens and endpoints for users to try their own integrations. MERIDIQ says patient data is encrypted, stored in the EU/EEA, backed up regularly and protected by role-based permissions and activity logs. A free 14-day trial includes all features. The Booking plan costs £5 per user per month; other listed plans cost £8 a month, £16 a month and £22 per user per month.

WritePad EHR is documentation software for chiropractic, rehabilitation and pain management practices. Customizable content and workflows are intended to reflect clinic needs, while specialty modules help create clinical notes and reports. WriteTouch Health supports secure online intake and patient-provider messaging, along with creating, signing and uploading clinical summaries. Patients can request appointments through a secure website-linked portal, with requests connected to the WritePad schedule. For billing, WriteLinks and Electronic FeeSlip provide integrations, and the company says it can build a link if a clinic's system is not available. WritePad links with DrFirst for e-prescribing, including controlled substances, and offers eRx Check for medication reconciliation and interaction checks. Clinics can use National Library of Medicine resources or their own files for patient education. It runs on Android, iOS, web and Windows, though direct installation on non-Windows hardware is not supported; the maker says Remote Desktop apps can provide access on those devices. Pricing begins at $99 per month, with a $495 setup and installation fee.
