[MCOH-EH] OHS EHR programs

[Denece O Kesler]

We use Cority's ReadySet as well, and I believe we run into issues similar to what Dr. McKenna notes. I was very frustrated that before we purchased it we were told that we could customize all of our forms—such as for different surveillance exams—and then were told that is not possible.

For patient injury or return to work evaluation encounters, we use our Health System's electronic medical record - Cerner - with a firewall.

Hi Wendy,



We here at Nationwide Children’s would certainly be interested in seeing the spreadsheet of replies.



We currently use Cority’s ReadySet EHR and it is OK.  It seems to handle most of the routine MC employee health functions just fine and provides a separate system for housing employee health records.  We’ve recently run into challenges with running reports. There can be unpredictable delays, sometimes reports can be run in minutes, sometimes it takes hours.  The same thing has happened with mass email notifications that go out through the system.  Our flu vaccine campaign notifications took several days to go out to all of our members.  Cority’s IS support has not been particularly helpful, basically just tell us that they know that there is a problem and they are working on it, but no guarantees it won’t continue/happen again.  We have also run into problems with doing any kind of customization to the platform.  When we’ve asked to enhance the WC injury documentation, add templated notes, add WC forms, they’ve basically told us they can’t do it.  Currently we are trying to set up a unidirectional lab feed from our drug testing lab to report urine drug screen results.  They told us it would take about 20 hours of IT work to make it happen, they’ve now been working on it for approximately three months and it does not seem to be any closer to completion…



Several other systems in the region have transitioned to Enterprise Health, and we are exploring that possibility as well.  Would love to get a timeline on when Epic plans to have an Occ Health module available as that is what the hospital uses for everything else, just need to ensure that it allows for a separate system so that staff are not able to access each other’s employee health records.



Thank you for compiling all of this!

Hello Folks,

I am making a spreadsheet of the replies and am happy to distribute it to the list if that's of help to you!

Can I broaden the question and ask: Who's using an EHR and do you like or dislike? Please include "home-grown" EHRs and the platform it was built on if you know it.



Thanks!

Wendy

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!
