Yes- we used Agility for Employee Health and Workers' comp.
Agility Pros:

  *   Customizable
  *   E-prescribe available
  *   ICD coding
  *   Lab interface
  *   Templates
  *   Electronic OSHA logs
  *   Limited reporting- visits, etc.

Agility Cons:

  *   Format is a bit outdated and clunky
  *   Employee portal is available but functionality is limited and difficult to navigate. They set up some sort of self scheduling request but could request an appointment 24 hrs. per day. A bit setup and other software that would need to be purchased for online forms- we did not finish this setup.
  *   Employer portal is available but we would have to assign a password and login for each and every "entity" that we have. If you are in charge of 4 hospitals, you would have 4 logins.
  *   No wellness health risk assessment

ReadySet Pros:


  *   Online forms pre-set and periodically updated.
  *   NHSN reporting for covid/flu vaccines available.
  *   electronic OSHA logs
  *   Wellness Health Risk Assessment
  *   New hires can complete paperwork online.
  *   Lab interface
  *   Dragon compatible
  *   Great charting features for traditional employee health functions such as TB symptom reviews, hazardous drug screening, resp medical clearance
  *   Recruiters can schedule appointments
  *   Recruiters can see clearance in real time
  *   Employee portal with single sign on- self scheduling appointments, view records
  *   Supervisor portal- view compliance
  *   COVID symptom monitoring online (not using this feature but it is there)
  *   Event portal for vaccines

ReadySet cons:

  *   No e-prescribe
  *   Customization of forms is very limited.
  *   No macros/exam templates for providers
  *   Recruiters can double book appointments
  *   New hires receive automated emails to sign up for ready set but rehires do not. We are having some difficulty getting new hires and current employees to fill out the online surveys prior to coming in for appointments.

Hi Mary, thank you for the answers!

Did you use Agility for both EHS functions and for WC? And will ReadySet be used for both? Would love your thoughts for the compendium I'm making :).

Best,
Wendy

I just converted from Agility to ReadySet. There are pros and cons to the system with the biggest con- no eprescribe. You are welcome to email me off the list serve-mgiovannetti at srhs.com<mailto:serve-mgiovannetti at srhs.com>.

I have researched epic for Employee Health and Workers' Comp and found it not to have the key features we would need. Epic does not have an EH/WC module. There would be no way to keep OSHA logs unless your IT team takes the time to set it all up. Epic was not going to be able to show us work locations/departments, hire dates, term dates, etc. which is essential for reporting.

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.

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.
