Setup and Getting Started

How long does setup take?

Most practices complete onboarding in four steps: schedule a demo, configure your account, import patient data, and go live. The process is designed to take days rather than weeks.

Do I need dedicated IT staff to implement Calysta Pro EMR?

No. The platform runs in the cloud, so there is no server hardware to install or maintain. Calysta Pro EMR's onboarding team walks you through account setup and data migration.

Can I import patient records from my current EMR?

Yes. The onboarding process includes data migration assistance to transfer existing patient records into Calysta Pro EMR. Contact the team during your demo to discuss your specific migration needs.

Compliance and Security

Is Calysta Pro EMR HIPAA compliant?

Yes. All patient data is encrypted at rest and in transit. The platform includes role-based access controls, automatic audit logging, and SOC 2 aligned cloud infrastructure. Learn more about whether EHR systems are required by law.

Where is my data stored?

Patient data is stored on HIPAA-compliant cloud servers within the United States. Calysta Pro EMR maintains Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with all infrastructure providers.

Who can access patient records in my practice?

You control access through role-based permissions. Providers, front-desk staff, and billing personnel each see only the data relevant to their role. Every record access is logged automatically for audit purposes.

Features

Does Calysta Pro EMR include telehealth?

The platform supports video consultations and virtual follow-ups, allowing providers to see patients remotely without switching to a separate tool.

Can I manage before-and-after photos in the system?

Yes. Calysta Pro EMR includes clinical photo management with standardized lighting and angle tags. Photos attach directly to treatment records for consistent tracking across visits.

Does Calysta Pro EMR handle e-prescriptions?

Yes. The e-prescribe module sends prescriptions electronically to any pharmacy in the network and checks drug interactions. It verifies patient allergies before completing each order. E-prescription access is available as an annual add-on at $240 per year.
