[MCOH-EH] [EXTERNAL]Re: EHR satisfaction query

[Higazi, Patricia]

We use Agility for both employee health and worker's compensation.  In the last ten years, support has fluctuated, and usability has suffered as a result.  We have recently had a decision to make - whether to continue with Agility and try to make it function to our needs - or choose another system.  Epic does not have nearly enough ability for both, CORITY main program had everything we needed, but it is challenging to run reports, and we were concerned about reports of their "cloud" going down numerous times.  CORITY 1 2 3 is a cheaper version from another company that CORITY purchased but did not have the scope and flexibility of Agility.

After considerable time negotiating support and answers to our issues, we decided to stay with Agility.  There has been a recent shake-up there, and we are now getting issues resolved and dedicated support for a new project - not finished yet but keeping my fingers crossed.

Until Epic opens up the Occupational medicine module, we continue to use epic but only billing and worker comp.  all other testing is on paper and scanned into the chart in media.
But new module is close I hear.  Waiting patiently.

I am very interested in this discussion as I am new to our clinic and we just got approved to start transitioning to EPIC .

Currently the clinic uses Agility for both EHS and WC and it's not the most efficient system .

I also am wondering if anyone is using both Agility for EHS and Epic for WC , can share their experience.

Thanks ,

Hello,

I'm in a quandary having spent WAYYY too many years of my life suffocated by paper medical records and handicapped by the lack of adequate report methods....

Would you please tell me what OHS EHR programs you're using AND IF YOU LIKE OR DON"T LIKE ... AND... IF YOU BUILT SOMETHING IN EPIC, how many years did it take and does it work yet?

I am most interested in:
Cority/Axion Ready-Set
Enterprise Health
or homegrown EPIC

We just heard that

  *   Brown is going to Enterprise
  *   Stanford U uses Enterprise
  *   UCLA is 3 years into a bifurcated (WC / EHS) Epic build, in progress
  *   St. Luke's uses UL's OHM program (not happy)

Feel free to reply to me directly if you don't think the answers are useful to others.

Thanks!

Good morning Charlie.
We converted to EHR  more than 15 years ago and are on our 3rd brand.  None were compatible with occupational medicine outside of injury care.  We scanned all OSHA Standard records into the EHR and continue to do this as our system is not compatible with non-E&M services.  Injury care visits from before implementation were scanned and now are part of the EHR. We also use OHM in parallel with our general EHR for internal employee health and for a few outside companies for things like hearing conservation and respiratory protection.

As it stands, all  occupational medicine records are available with varying degrees of difficulty.

Good luck,
Doug

We are converting our employee health records to an EMR from paper.
We are having discussions about what portion of our paper record must be retained because of OSHA.
Does anyone have guidance or a reference about what must be kept and what could be tossed?
We have a plan for inputting vaccination records etc and will be keeping records pertaining to OSHA record keeping
Some of the paper charts are enormous.
Thank you in advance.
