FAQ
How long does a typical EMR implementation take?
Typical implementation runs 6-12 weeks with a dedicated implementation manager. The process follows a phased approach: day-zero data load, parallel system operation, gap-filling at cutover, and post-go-live backfill. Canvas specialty EMR templates come pre-configured with clinical workflows, documentation, and care protocols - so you're not building from scratch. Staging environments and friends-and-family testing precede go-live.
Can we build a custom front-end or embed Canvas into our own app?
Yes. Canvas supports headless API-only deployments, iframe embedding for third-party tools, and embeddable scheduling widgets you can drop into your own website or app. The Python SDK, FHIR API, Cloud Code, and webhooks give you full control over the integration. Many startups use Canvas as the clinical backbone while building their own patient-facing experience on top.
How does billing and claims automation work?
Canvas supports end-to-end billing from auto-generated shell claims at note signing through coding queues, batch claim submission, ERA posting, payment reconciliation, and automated write-offs. AI-assisted CPT code proposals require provider review. Eligibility checks run in real-time via ClaimMD. The touchless claims rate targets 90%+, reducing the need for dedicated billing staff as you scale.
Can non-technical team members build workflows and automations?
Yes. Canvas Studio is a no-code, natural-language workflow builder that lets non-technical staff create clinical and operational automations. For more complex needs, the Python SDK and Cloud Code provide full developer control. The plugin marketplace also offers prebuilt tools for AI charting, patient engagement, analytics, and interoperability that require no coding to activate.
