CareLogic EHR vs. Salesforce Health Cloud

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.

The best scenario [is] that it has [a] particular object which can directly store the records of the client [who] has purchased the policy and practitioner details with [their] expertise. The users can directly book the appointment using LWC or Aura components which can be exposed on websites. The object will be linked with each other [using] a lookup relation which creates a complete framework to handle the cases and details of the clients, [their] policies, and other details as well. Booking or finding a practitioner can be done with the [Salesforce] Health Cloud app where it can use [your] current location and provide details of [available] nearby doctors. Health Cloud supports live agent as well where a user can get the details on his insurance policy and get other help if he need from the chat option with live agent.

• 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.

• [There] are particular objects such as person accounts which [are] linked with [health care company accounts if they have a policy].
• We have flows and pages where a user or client can book [their] appointment with a practitioner and get instant help by raising a case or request for [an] appointment.
• [Salesforce] Health Cloud keeps all the records of clients and practitioners and can link them when and where ever needed.
• Objects in the managed package have [a] standard field which gives a perfect solution with out-of-the-box functionality without creating such a model or structure.
• We can raise cases or requests and [use] automation tools like flows [so] the case will be assigned to [a] practitioner or the queue of the user.

• 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.

• integration with Epic was close to impossible
• buy-in from IT to support a system on Epic was not keen to work with decreased our ability to function in the way we expected
• lack of knowing this integration challenge prior

The software offers a wide range of functionality, which I truly appreciate. However, there is so much there that a lot of drilling into information can be required. This can create a significant learning curve for new users.

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.

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.

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.

We also evaluated Epic's system called Cheers. Salesforce is much better organized and easy to use. Cheers had some major weaknesses.
