History

Around 1999, Dr. Bertman wanted his office to paperless. He wanted an HER to manage his entire medical practice-from scheduling to intra- office messaging to charting, and even billing. It had to be easy to install, learn, and use. He researched dozens of EMR/HER products to try and locate within the marketplace EHR software that was able to both manage his entire medical practice and cost less than $10,000. When he was unable to find no such HER that met his requirements, he decided to build it himself. Thus, Dr. Bertman began his quest to create such a program to fulfill his needs by purchasing many programming books and through trial and error finally succeeded. With his new program, he figured out how to save text to a database and subsequently how to take it out. Once this was accomplished, it was next a matter of adding fields that were used by physicians and corresponding database storage fields. Thus, once all the details of his system were completed, Dr. Bertman started using his system in his own practice. Once it was seen as being successful, Dr. Bertman slowly made his EHR software available for purchase on the internet. Slowly, orders began to arrive, and through word-of-mouth advertising, Amazing Charts has become one of the most popular HER programs in the United States. With over 5,000 practices who have already purchased Amazing Charts and many more in their free three month trial, Amazing charts provides a much needed realiy check to the overpriced and overly complicated programs being used in the medical community.
