SCC Soft Computer

SCC Soft Computer, founded in 1982, is a healthcare information technology vendor that provides electronic health record (EHR) and practice management solutions primarily focused on ambulatory care settings. The company has built its reputation over four decades serving small to medium-sized physician practices, offering a comprehensive suite that combines clinical documentation, scheduling, billing, and patient engagement tools in a unified platform.

The company's flagship ambulatory EHR solution is designed for multi-specialty practices and independent physician groups, with particular strength in primary care, internal medicine, pediatrics, and various specialty practices including cardiology, orthopedics, dermatology, gastroenterology, and OB-GYN. SCC Soft Computer differentiates itself through specialty-specific templates and workflows that allow practices to customize documentation to their clinical needs without extensive configuration work.

Technically, SCC Soft Computer offers both cloud-based and client-server deployment models, though the company has increasingly emphasized its cloud offerings to reduce IT infrastructure requirements for smaller practices. The system is ONC 2015 Edition CEHRT certified, ensuring compliance with meaningful use requirements and MIPS/MACRA reporting mandates. Integration capabilities include connectivity to Surescripts for electronic prescribing with EPCS certification for controlled substances, major laboratory systems including Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp, and participation in national interoperability networks through CommonWell Health Alliance and Carequality frameworks.

The platform emphasizes workflow efficiency for busy ambulatory practices, with features designed to reduce documentation burden and streamline revenue cycle processes. Its integrated practice management module handles patient scheduling, insurance verification, claim submission, and payment posting within the same interface as clinical documentation, reducing the need for separate systems and duplicate data entry.

SCC Soft Computer targets independent practices ranging from single-provider offices to multi-location groups with up to 50 providers, competing in the small-to-mid-market ambulatory EHR space alongside vendors like eClinicalWorks, athenahealth, and Practice Fusion. The company has maintained a steady presence in the ambulatory market without the aggressive growth strategy of some competitors, focusing instead on long-term customer relationships and product refinement. While not among the top-tier market leaders by install base, SCC Soft Computer has maintained relevance through consistent product updates and responsive customer support that resonates with independent practices seeking stability over modern innovation.
