UroChart is sunsetting · a note for the practices it leaves behind

Leaving UroChart? Make it an upgrade.

Move your physicians into Viscera, a workflow built around the visit. Notes, coding, and EHR writes happen on their own, so providers are with patients instead of screens. Onboarding takes about a week per group.

Where Viscera sits

Viscera is not an EHR. It's the layer your providers work in.

  • Your providers, above the lineRun the encounter. Review the note. Approve.
  • Viscera, doing the workPulls the pre-chart, captures the visit into a note, codes it, updates the EHR and fills orders.
  • The EHR, below the lineYour system of record. Still your choice, no longer your workflow.

The decision in front of you

What the switch asks of your providers

Viscera changes only the provider side of the day. Back-office EHR workflows stay where they are. So the real comparison is what each path asks of the people seeing patients.

Switch EHRs the usual way

About six months

Providers carry the change for months. And at the end of it, it's still an EHR.

Onboard providers to Viscera

One week

No templates to build, no retraining cycle, no change management. Viscera is learned in a week.

Providers get to see patients. Without the documentation or workflow drag.

The plan

What the month looks like

Four weeks, run by our deployment team and migration partners. Data stabilizes first. Then providers onboard in groups, about a week each.

Week 1

Stabilize

We pull your UroChart data: patients, encounters, documents, and schedules. It lands in Viscera's urology clinical model, and the integrations are configured underneath.

Week 2

Pilot

One to three early adopters run their clinics in Viscera and iron out workflow and integrations for your practice.

Week 3

Expand

The first half of your providers comes online. Learning Viscera takes about a week per group, not a retraining season.

Week 4

Complete

The rest of the practice comes online. Every provider is off UroChart without ever training on a new EHR.

Office note · Kelly, Robert
HPI

67 y/o male returns for BPH follow-up on tamsulosin 0.4 mg. Nocturia improved from 4x to 1-2x nightly. Improved stream, no retention symptoms.

Assessment & plan

N40.1: BPH with LUTS, responding to alpha-blocker. Continue tamsulosin. Repeat IPSS today (score 9). PVR 40 mL by bladder scan. PSA stable at 2.1. Discussed adding a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor if symptoms progress. Return in 6 months.

MDM complexity validated · Moderate
Why moderate: chronic illness managed with prescription drugs, three results reviewed today (IPSS, PVR, PSA), and an escalation plan discussed and documented.

The short answers

Which EHR do we end up on?

That's your call. Viscera has turnkey integrations with NextGen, athenahealth, and Veradigm, and we can build a custom integration if you choose a different EHR. Either way, your physicians work in Viscera above it.

What happens to our UroChart data?

We extract it in week one and map it into Viscera's urology clinical model. Patient history stays live and usable at the point of care rather than trapped in a read-only archive.

Do our providers need retraining?

They learn Viscera, which is built around how a urology visit actually runs. There are no templates to rebuild and no note macros to relearn, because documentation is generated from the visit itself.

What does a trial involve?

When you're ready for the physician transition, call us in. We run a pilot with a small provider group, and the full practice can be live within a month.
