Epic

Vorteile

Epic has regular updates to make charting more efficient and easier.

Nachteile

There are limits to using the smart phrases in the SOAP note template for daily notes.

Vorteile

High focus on productivity and workflow for everyone involved while maintaining data privacy. Tailored specifically to your role. Despite assisting with your job duties as much as possible, it takes up as little of your time as possible regarding data entry, information at a glance, etc. enabling you to focus more on your job.

Nachteile

Steep learning curve, does not work with multiple monitors, sometimes unclear if changes are saved

Vorteile

Neutral colors. Smart phrases that the user creates make for great shortcuts.

Nachteile

Multiple screens making it difficult to find things. It's like playing hide and seek, and not often successfully.

Vorteile

I appreciate the functionality of EPIC and how its manages the files of all our patients in our hospital and different hospitals.

Nachteile

It sometimes feel like its too much to look at sometimes. when its so much information it sometimes can be a bit much to handle when in a hectic situation.

Vorteile

What I like most about Epic is that it has so many integrations. I can share data between departments.

Nachteile

I have experienced any dislikes with Epic besides system updates, which can delay patient care when in critical moments, but they do have a solution to help with that, so none really.

Vorteile

Easy to learn, quick for documentation, the ability to tab through items, lots of flexibility with the build.

Nachteile

Couldn't access unless actually at work using the office computers. Inability to document from home.

Vorteile

What I like most about Epic is having access to all PHI from a central industry used platform.

Nachteile

What I like least about Epic is because it holds so much PHI for each patient, navigating the epic user interface can be a bit confusing for first time users in finding information a provider or clinical staff may need.

Vorteile

I liked that it was customizable and easy to access records even from outside organizations.

Nachteile

It took time and there were so many options that it can be hard to learn all you need for true customizing.

Vorteile

I like how easy it is to adjust to the system.

Nachteile

I dont think there is anything that I didn't like in epic, its pretty straight forward.

Vorteile

Effectiveness and efficiency in helping complete scheduling jobs.

Nachteile

It was an older system but still got the job done.

Vorteile

Its an all around great EHR it keeps patient flowing and everything a provider needs in one place easy charting for patient care

Nachteile

Difficult to start learning it takes time

Vorteile

Epic is very user friendly, there is multiple ways to access applications and tabs. Epic is great for those who need to multitask! Love this system!

Nachteile

Management of medical records could be cleaner and better looking

Vorteile

EpicCare is easy to navigate and is visually appealing. The simplicity in its design makes it very user-friendly and provides efficiency.

Nachteile

I do not particularly like that there is no user guide to show all the features EpicCare offers. I am aware that EpicCare has numerous tools and resources that can especially be useful in my role as a Research Coordinator. It is difficult finding those tools and learning how to best use them without guidance.

Vorteile

I really like the mobility of using the app. I would like to see the river system improved upon and expanded! Home health is a very large and important aspect of healthcare today, and a lot of clinicians are out in the field and need access to epic!

Nachteile

Sometimes I find that using epic on the computer in the office is daunting because of the many pages you have to search through!

Vorteile

How easy it is to use and to access what I need

Nachteile

How some stuff doesnt match the stuff in immpact

Vorteile

How easy it is to work. I started using EPIC a month ago, and was able to pick up on it very fast.

Nachteile

No dislikes on EPIC! it's been super great and easy

Vorteile

I really liked how easy EpicCare is to work with. You can move around from patient to patient, labs, procedures, etc. with ease.

Nachteile

I thought the scheduling aspect of EpicCare was a little cumbersome. I don't work with scheduling much though.

Nachteile

They are constantly making unnecessary changes to the system. It makes usage difficult because you have to hunt for what you are looking for. They change things that just add additional clicks with no actual benefit to the change. It is very frustrating to get used to where something is located and then find it suddenly not there or to find the whole process of getting to what you need has changed. For example my telehealth visits are now listed as office visits and then you have to make 10 additional clicks to make it a televisit and then on you schedule you have to click 10 more steps to make it show as a televisit on you screen so you know if they are coming in or if you are supposed to be calling them. This constant change is VERY aggravating and unnecessary.

Vorteile

Epic's main benefit is the large number of health systems that use it, which makes cross-communication possible. Epic does limit this by making it's product modular, which limits different institutions' ability to communicate. The only benefit to Epic is it's size and number of health systems that use it - so if you work at Hospital X, and move to Hospital Y, the chances that they also use Epic are higher than another software.

Nachteile

This is not a "patient care" software by design. It is a billing software first and foremost. Instead of starting the software from scratch in the 2000's once it was appearent that EMR's were the wave of the future, they simply piggy-backed what they could (most pop-ups and messages are done by what was originally meant to be error messages for bills). From a patient care stand-point, it is terrible at best. Epic's goal is to cater to administrators, who ultimately choose which EMR options to buy. The latest updates and changes have made for a "cleaner" look while hiding most buttons and options under tabs, making finding different options more difficult. There is a learning curve, but as anyone who has used iOS knows, the interface could be exponentially better. Epic is reminiscent of the 1990's Microsoft Office products that came with every computer and the masses were forced to use it, even though it was subpar by 1990's standards. Epic's philosophy (while under [sensitive content hidden]) is that Epic can do no wrong. While this company is under [sensitive content hidden] (the [sensitive content hidden] of EMR), it will not get better. We need a [sensitive content hidden] of EMR - until then, patients and providers alike must suffer.

Vorteile

Nothing is good about this system. Don't consider it

Nachteile

Takes over 2 hours extra per day to fill in their unecessary forms.

Vorteile

This program is very easy to figure out and maneuver. It is reliable for nurse charting. Documentation is easy to find as well as submit.

Nachteile

There are too many options for charting. Each selection comes with many options as an answer. I think it would help if this was narrowed down to the most common answers and just leave a comment area for answers not preset.

Vorteile

It's all inclusive. Epic has a module for virtually every medical and healthcare related specialty, function, and revenue-cycle driven procedure. I like that some of the best academic medical centers and healthcare systems in the US use Epic.

Nachteile

Epic is very very expensive to implement, and it can be overwhelming for health systems to implement all at once.

Vorteile

Best layout, easy to navigate, quick documentation

Nachteile

Epic is consistently working on new functionalities and layouts, and sometimes the implementation of new things with the EMR becomes laborious to relearn when there is little added benefit.

Vorteile

I like that the software and how it manages the multifaceted aspect of healthcare systems management

Nachteile

Epic systems in integrated into most of the healthcare network that is used in our company. It makes it hard to use on the system goes down or is unable to function do the upgrades

Vorteile

It didn’t allow you to miss critical steps in documentation

Nachteile

It runs very slow if your company doesn’t have high speed processing computers

Vorteile

That you can have multiple patients charts open at one time. This enables you to go between patients charts easily.

Nachteile

It is not easy to find things that are not wrenched into your toolbar

Vorteile

I have used several versions of EPIC, and I feel the layout is weel thought out and organized. The system is user friendly as I have trained employees on the system, and they catch on fast.

Nachteile

The system lags when connecting information to external systems like food and nutrition for example in regard to real time diet order updates.

Vorteile

Epic is an EMR that replaces the need for multiple complex systems. Out of the box, it is excellent, however becomes even more powerful as you continue to customize to your needs.

Nachteile

It can only be directly purchased if you are meet the minimums. I have individual providers I know who'd love to use it in their smaller practice.

Vorteile

Epic offers a a huge variety of services.

Nachteile

You have to have the latest up to date computers and wifi or you will have to consistently reset the pc

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Epic

Vorteile

Epic makes it impossible to miss anything during the charge capture phase. There are fewer denials from payers/insurance companies and greater accuracy in capturing charges.

Nachteile

I have nothing negative to say about epic care. I have had no need to use customer service so I'm unable to review that area.

Epic is very user friendly to all ages and makes documentation simple.

Nachteile

Some features can be difficult to figure out but once you learn to navigate the site there are no problems!

You can do a deep dive of someone's medical history and see the bigger picture of what might be going on with someone's health by reviewing provider documentations and collaborating with the care team.

Nachteile

There are so many things in EPIC that I am unfamiliar with because I only use certain features. It's not always easy to find things if you don't use them all the time.

Vorteile

Easy set up and easy to open up patients charts. There’s a lot of personalization available. Aesthetically pleasing and can change the colors/look of it.

Nachteile

There’s too much clicking to do one task. Too many ways to do the same task, so teaching someone how to use it can be difficult.

Epic is extremely user friendly, allowing all medical records to be accessed on one place, in a format that is easy to read.

Nachteile

Epic is a huge system with a lot of icons to learn to navigate, which takes a lot of time and practice.

Vorteile

I like how everything is so condensed. But at the same time you still have everything that you need. When something goes wrong it seems like they jump straight on the problem.

Nachteile

It’s soooo slow sometimes. I feel like it crashes when everyone is on at one time.

Vorteile

I do like the fact that all information is in one dashboard. Upcoming appointments, past appointments, health records and vitals. It makes it easy to add and keep track of everything.

Nachteile

I think it's expensive compared to others

Vorteile

This was for a large hospital practice and it absolutely served large massive customer bases. We were able to do cloud hosting, it was used with Epic Practice Management super easy, and had no issues with EMR charts.

Nachteile

Very expensive because it is used in such a large capacity.

Hard to remember all of the .phrases to insert personalalized templates

Text typing is required as opposed to just clicking choices.

La prise en main demande un peu d'effort, mais ça vaut le coup !

Often hard to navigate throughout the system and can become costly

Nachteile

There is not a single things I do like about this application.

Easy Navigation through all of the systems

Can’t control the patient duplicate files

Vorteile

Super easy to use, to find what you need, to upload items to a patient's chart.

Epic is a fantastic software used for patient electronic medical records. It is easy to use and provides detailed training modules.

How it can be different from institution to institution so if work at multiple sites it is slight different at each place.
