eClinicalWorks

Pros

I like the search patient feature - if two patients have the same or similar names, it alerts you. It would be easy to click on the wrong patient in error. All the chart documents are organized intuitively so it is very easy to find a specific document you are looking for. Also, as soon as you pull up the patient, it shows the date of the last visit and date of the next upcoming visit. Also, printing is smooth and no trouble to set up.

Cons

The progress notes are semi-prepopulated, which could lead to information getting into the note that you did not intend to.

Pros

Easy to navigate through the program. Relatively easy to order medications and eprescribe. There is a bit of a learning curve but is easy once you get the hang of the program.

Cons

The health care maintenance checks were lacking and left a lot of gaps for follow-ups. The E-prescribing was sometimes confusing when it came to choosing a location.

Pros

I like that whenever you're searching for a patients by the last name, if you don't remember the first name it'll pull all the patients with that same last name and with their first name in alphabetical order.

Cons

It does have it's flaws that do need to be fixed.

Pros

software is terribly designed and very very slow. You will be charged an arm and a leg every step of the way.

Cons

They charge and overcharge. Tried to squeeze another $10k in licensing fees. Eventually they backed off after i prove that I had already had a license. Eventually, we had had enough and decided to leave (it was a bad software altogether). Then, Just to leave them, I had to shell out over $3k for backups of patient records (they give free option but its impossible to sort out how to use). Now they bill again saying they forgot to collect for the price of the hard drive! $500 for a $50 hard drive! What a nightmare. Software is slow slow slow. Not designed to be web-based. Do yourself a favor and avoid at all costs. Every step of the way you have to pay and you have to talk to people on the phone (who are out of india). Nothing can get done without them.

Pros

Lots of features and pretty easy to learn the software.

Cons

There's nothing I don't like, other than slow loading speeds sometimes.
