We use Agility for all our occupational health functions, including all functions for  workers compensation (providers, case management, etc).      Our nurse practitioners chart our personal care clinic (non-work related illness/injury) visits in EPIC due to requirements of information blocking act.  We purchased an independent scheduling system (clockwise) that is web based so all healthcare workers can make appointments with us.   We also use Adobe esign to send our new hire medical assessment and then upload as PDF into Agility.

We are looking at Cority GX-2  and Enterprise as both are web based, have much better patient and manager portals, have built in schedulers,  and are  much more intuitive and comprehensive.      Agility does have a decent EMR for our providers and allows customization of templates, but it is very cumbersome and we have to operate via CITRIX which is very slow for our team.  We do a lot of work arounds to get Agility to work for us and have a full time analyst on staff in our department on reports.

Enterprise was very impressive, but does come with a much higher annual cost.

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 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.
