Epic Reviews

Easy Navigation through all of the systems

Can’t control the patient duplicate files

Epic allows me to communicate for e-prescriptions. Epic has a mobile app that comes in handy.

Often hard to navigate throughout the system and can become costly

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.

I think it's expensive compared to others

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

Difficult to start learning it takes time

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.

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

-Toggle through to *** to add documentation
-View other therapist's schedules
-Accessing referrals and client medical history
-Adding personal templates

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

I liked the ease of scheduling patients in our clinic

At the time we did not have full Epic cape abilities so I was not able to see patients charts in Epic

Extremely thorough and endless data, can create a report for pretty much anything.

wish there was a laymans version for those of us that dont need everything. Also frequently hear schedulers talk about how they have to check in all appts individually and theyre should be a select all option

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.

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.

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

Very expensive, only good if you are a massive corporation with tons of employees/patients.

Easy to use for all users both for tech savy and the older generations
Like the smooth transitions and customization to each end hser

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

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

How some stuff doesnt match the stuff in immpact

The best part about Epic is that its an easy system to use and all the information is in the patients chart.

You do have to do a little digging into the charts to find out older information on the patient.

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

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

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.

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

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

Easy to use, the care everywhere. Features is very important for patient care.

Dragon is not always accurate, with many dictation errors

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

I like that you are easily able to chart on patients, you can make preset templates for charting and can preset order sets, and you are able to do everything electronically, including connecting to the PACs system and requesting documentation from other companies. You are also able to switch between inpatient and outpatient settings easily. Dragon is very compatible with this system.

I dislike that the EPIC system can vary depending on different healthcare setups, and can cost a lot. Epic can also take a while to catch on to, depending on how well you know computers. Finally, it can sometimes be hard to find different patients and patient lists on the inpatient systems if your healthcare system is large.
