Intergy EHR vs. CareLogic EHR

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.

CareLogic is a fairly low-cost EHR. It would work well for a small practice/agency where you will be focused on one thing. Agencies with multiple areas (i.e. outpatient, inpatient, case management) should use caution as it is difficult to ensure a user is only accessing the information they should have access to. The ability to manage many different types of programs is difficult with this system. Any agency looking to be able to report on their data should look elsewhere.

• 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

• CareLogic is very intuitive and easy to navigate.
• CareLogic is designed for behavioral health users, so unnecessary paperwork and data is eliminated.
• CareLogic is web-based, so it can be accessed from anywhere.
• CareLogic is customizable for each organization's unique needs.

• 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.

• CareLogic needs to update its user interface. Outside of the fact that it looks like it's running on the Windows 2000 operating system, navigating takes a massive effort. Nothing seems to be where you would think it would be, however, if you favorite the items you use the most, they are only two to three clicks away.
• Reporting functionality is terrible. Without an intimate knowledge of how the reports are configured, moving our billing data from CareLogic to our accounting system produces errors every month. We have had to hire a consultant to help us figure out the errors and why they keep occurring which brings me to my next point.
• Customer service could be better. In my experience, I'm typically on hold and when I finally get someone on the phone they have no idea what the issue is. Since we use CareLogic throughout our organization, any amount of wait time on getting the system fixed causes massive chaos because we use the system to make notes in our client files.

Very user friendly and efficient

The rating of "3" represents CareLogic's quick loading of pages, however, the reports are super slow and there is no progress bar or notification to let you know if a report is running or not. I've let a report run for an hour before only to find out that the interface never registered my click to run the report.

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.

The customer support at Qualifacts is great. When you have an issue you can submit a ticket to support and they're on top of getting things straightened out and always available by phone as well. The struggle with the overall support is it doesn't seem like the needs of the users are heard. When you ask for what should be a simple fix or something that seems the system is missing, it gets labeled an Enhancement Request which is where requests go to pasture.

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

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.

Cerner was much less organized, and users in our company generally felt it was harder to utilize. There was less options for customization that fit our specific use demographics, and crashing was much more frequent. Obtaining hard copies through Carelogic EHR, by Qualifacts is much easier as well with the print report radio button.

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

• No more paper records.
• Prescriptions never get lost.
• Staff have many complaints about work flow.
• New hire training has to be ongoing- it's hard to learn.
