ESO EHR delivers unparalleled ease of use for typical EMS agency but has catches for larger or advanced organizations.

Pros

  • 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.

Cons

  • 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.

Return on Investment

  • The ease of use for providers to complete documentation has had a very positive ROI.
  • The ease of administering the software has saved significant money and delivered very positive ROI.
