ESO Electronic Health Record vs. Intergy EHR

For most EMS providers, ESO EHR is an ideal solution: It meets 95% of the needs for the typical EMS provider, provides an unparalleled ease of use for field personnel documenting patient care, and is easy to implement and administer. Large EMS systems should carefully consider the limitations of the underdeveloped quality management modules for QA/QI programs. Large or progressive EMS systems with an advanced data analytics/data science capability should be aware of the significant challenges and limitations ESO EHR poses for data use outside of the standard analytics reports.

It worked quite well in the dermatology/plastic surgery clinic. In fact, until I moved into the administrative/finance department of this neurosurgery clinic, I had no complaints whatsoever about Intergy. The process for end users is very intuitive and free-flowing. On the management side of things, however, it's difficult to track or prove audit trails.

Incentivized

• Exceptional user interface/user experience design that is intuitive and easy to use.
• ESO, as a company, is deeply integrated into the EMS industry and recognizes customer needs better than competitors.

Incentivized

• Health Reminders- for different patient needs or preventive care/screenings. For example patients who have a diagnosis of Diabetes- their health reminders will show if they need an A1c, foot exam, eye exam, etc. and when it was last performed
• Orders Tracking- This helps nursing staff make notes on referrals or orders and they are able to look at the order tracking section for all patients and filter it by provider, order type, status, etc. to know what needs to be followed up on or what has been completed and so forth...
• Tasks- This is a nice feature that has many different options for use. It can be used internally to send a quick message to another user, a phone message, billing message, and any task gives you the option to make it "patient related" if necessary. It can be used by the providers when they make an order they can then send it to the nurse to complete. Lots of different ways for Tasks to be used

• The biggest gap is that doing QA/QI is not scalable or streamlined for a large provider. Managing an effective QA/QI program takes an incredible amount of labor and extra work.
• The lack of customization and custom fields heavily limits use of ESO EHR to capture new data points for internal quality improvement or research projects.

Incentivized

• Missing cloud-based services for data storage.
• It is Windows based. It needs to be updated to offer an Apple and iPad function with speech to text and Apple Pencil type functions.
• Updates for meds and pharmacies should be made monthly not quarterly.

Customer support has been spectacular: Personalized, rapidly available, and very helpful.

Usually they are very helpful. I would prefer they do some of the actual changes I am requesting instead of having me do the work. I feel that they could walk you through it, instead of letting you figure out the desired results on your own.

Track all hours and don't sign off on anything if you are not 100% happy.

ESO EHR won out due to ease of use for providers and for administration. Other vendors had greater ability to do data analysis, quality management, and customization but ultimately were significantly more difficult to learn, use, and administer.

I am not the office manager so I cannot tell why she chose to use Intergy EHR. I personally like Intergy EHR because it allows me to use it with Intergy EMR and track patients very fast and it saves the office a lot of time. If something goes wrong, someone can just call customer service and they are glad to help.

• The E&M calculator helps providers choose the appropriate code for billing compliance.
