LCD Solutions Inc/Clicktate

LCD Solutions Inc, operating under the Clicktate brand, offers a cloud-based electronic health record and practice management platform purpose-built for small to mid-sized ambulatory practices. Founded in 2003, the company has focused on developing an integrated solution that combines clinical documentation, scheduling, billing, and patient engagement tools within a single software environment designed to reduce administrative burden for independent practices.

The Clicktate platform emphasizes ease of use and rapid documentation through its click-based charting interface, which aims to minimize typing and accelerate clinical workflows. The system includes customizable templates for multiple specialties including family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, dermatology, cardiology, gastroenterology, orthopedics, OB-GYN, and urgent care settings. This template-driven approach allows providers to document encounters more efficiently while maintaining clinical detail required for billing and quality reporting.

As a cloud-based solution, Clicktate eliminates the need for on-premises server infrastructure and provides access from any internet-connected device. The platform is ONC 2015 Edition certified, ensuring compliance with meaningful use requirements and enabling participation in federal quality reporting programs including MIPS and MACRA. The system includes integrated e-prescribing through Surescripts certification, supporting both standard prescriptions and controlled substances through EPCS certification.

Clicktate's practice management functionality encompasses patient scheduling, insurance verification, charge capture, claims submission, and accounts receivable management within the same platform as the clinical EHR. This integrated approach reduces duplicate data entry and provides practices with unified reporting across clinical and financial operations. Laboratory integration with major reference labs like Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp enables electronic ordering and results delivery directly into patient charts.

The platform includes patient portal capabilities allowing patients to access medical records, request appointments, communicate with providers, and complete intake forms electronically. Interoperability features include DirectTrust connectivity and CommonWell Health Alliance participation, supporting care coordination through health information exchange.

Clicktate primarily serves independent physician practices and small medical groups typically ranging from 1 to 20 providers. The vendor's market positioning emphasizes affordability and implementation simplicity for practices seeking to avoid the complexity and cost structures associated with enterprise-level EHR systems. The subscription-based pricing model provides predictable monthly costs scaled to practice size.

While Clicktate may lack some advanced features found in larger enterprise EHR platforms such as strong population health analytics or extensive third-party integration marketplaces, its streamlined feature set and simplified workflows align with the operational needs and technical capabilities of smaller ambulatory practices. The vendor's longevity since 2003 demonstrates sustained market presence in the competitive ambulatory EHR segment, though detailed market share data and client counts are not publicly disclosed.
