Atlas Chirosys
بواسطة Atlas Chiropractic Software
Atlas Chirosys typical implementation process:
Discovery and planning: Atlas sales and support teams review your clinic type, volume, network setup, and whether you need data conversion from a previous system; a pre‑conversion date/time is scheduled while you continue using your current software.
Data extraction and conversion: Atlas’ team connects with you to locate your existing database, shows you how to export a copy, then analyzes and converts it, typically migrating demographics, appointments, transactions, services, and inventory where technically possible.
System installation and configuration: Atlas is installed (server and network clients as needed), configured with your providers, services, scheduling rules, security settings, and billing preferences; technical manuals guide proper installation and data placement.
Atlas Chirosys is described as highly configurable and customizable at multiple levels, so clinics can adapt it to different practice styles, workflows, and branding.
Clinically and operationally, Atlas lets clinics customize charting templates, exams, SOAP notes, subjective question sets, and care schedules, so documentation and treatment plans match each provider’s philosophy and regulatory needs. Its form builder supports fully customizable digital forms with dropdowns, grids, image‑draw fields, multiple‑choice questions, and embedded videos, allowing practices to create tailored intake, consent, and specialty questionnaires. Practices can also configure scheduling rules, shift patterns, mapping of multiple appointments, calling rules for directing patients to specific rooms or tables, and subjective sign‑in questions on the kiosk, aligning the system with unique in‑office flows.
Atlas Chirosys provides a structured mix of self‑paced training and responsive human support to onboard new users and keep clinics productive. New customers get access to an online video training system covering core workflows (scheduling, billing, charting, check‑in, messaging, forms), which staff can follow at their own pace; the same library is recommended for onboarding new hires over time. This is supplemented with user manuals and documentation hosted in a support portal, so teams can quickly look up how to configure or troubleshoot specific features.
Atlas Chirosys combines in‑app security controls with backup and privacy measures to protect practice and patient data.
The platform includes a dedicated Security Module with authorization management, advanced access control, database encryption, and security reports that restrict what specific users can see, so clinics can enforce least‑privilege access to financial and clinical information. Product listings also highlight access controls and permissions as core capabilities, underscoring role‑based security at the application level. Atlas publishes a data privacy policy alongside its software license that governs how data is handled and clarifies responsibilities between the vendor and the practice, helping address confidentiality and legal considerations.
Atlas Chirosys is updated periodically through versioned releases rather than a constant, invisible cloud rollout, and updates are managed jointly by the vendor and the clinic’s local IT environment.
Release notes for versions such as 4.0 and 5.40 show that Atlas periodically ships new builds that add features, streamline front‑desk workflows, and fix issues; the exact cadence is not fixed publicly, but historical notes indicate multiple substantive updates over time rather than one‑off patches. Updates are distributed as software packages that practices install on their Atlas server/workstations, and Atlas’ documentation and support portal references “Updates” as formal improvements, corrections, and revisions provided under the support/updates subscription.
Atlas Chirosys treats practice data as locally stored client data, with Atlas acting as the licensed software provider rather than the data controller. All client and patient information is stored on the clinic’s own local network and servers; Atlas states that the client is responsible for network and server security and for compliance with privacy and anti‑spam laws, which implies that ownership and control of the underlying data sit with the practice.
For portability and access, Atlas provides local database access plus reporting and export functionality, and its policy clarifies that Atlas support cannot view local patient data unless the clinic grants one‑time access for support or training, and any copied data on Atlas machines is destroyed after the issue is resolved. Online intake data is encrypted and deleted once used, and all local data is backed up under the client’s control, with the client responsible for moving backups offsite or into an online backup service, which means practices can extract, move, or delete data according to their own retention and portability requirements.
Atlas Chirosys is licensed under a Software License and Services Agreement between Atlas Chiropractic System Inc. and the clinic, which governs use of the software, support, and data handling; it functions more like a traditional on‑premises/locally hosted license with ongoing support and updates, rather than a purely cancel‑any‑time cloud app. The agreement references an Effective Date and binds the “Licensee” to the acts of its staff, suggesting a defined contract term, but the specific initial term length and auto‑renewal window are not spelled out in publicly visible excerpts and have to be reviewed in the signed license or order form for each clinic.
Monthly support and updates are contracted separately from the perpetual/long‑term license: user reviews note that if a clinic stops paying monthly support, it can continue using the existing version, but loses access to new updates until it becomes current on all unpaid support months. This implies that “cancellation” of support/updates is possible by halting payment, but re‑enrolling later may require back‑paying lapsed support to regain update eligibility, rather than starting fresh at the current rate.
Atlas Chirosys states that its chiropractic EHR/practice‑management system is HIPAA‑compliant and designed to support healthcare privacy requirements for U.S. covered entities and their business associates. Product directories and Atlas’ own marketing repeatedly classify it under “HIPAA Compliant” healthcare software, and social posts from the vendor also promote the platform as both HIPAA‑ and GDPR‑compliant for data protection.
Beyond U.S. HIPAA, Atlas is referenced in comparison lists where the vendor indicates its system “meets or exceeds” Australian Privacy Principles, GDPR, PIPEDA, and HIPAA, positioning it as aligned with major data‑protection frameworks in North America, Europe, and Australia, though formal third‑party certifications are not detailed publicly. Atlas documentation around its payment gateway emphasizes PCI compliance expectations for processing cardholder data, noting that clinics must maintain PCI DSS compliance (often via a Qualified Security Assessor such as TrustWave) when using integrated credit‑card processing with Atlas.
