Thanks Melanie. I am recording the info as I get it, it's not thorough.
Could you tell me what home-grown systems you had at Vany and Mayo? (Java, salesforce, epic, etc)
Have you used a commercial program yet?
THanks,

Can we also clarify if it’s an occupational tracking system (manages compliance, surveillance, reports, service counts etc) or if it’s really an EHR (used to document individual patient care, contains medical history, health information, allows prescribing etc.)

 

My observation is that if you provide medical treatment to employees, you likely need a separate EHR from your occupational tracking system, especially to handle things like ad hoc reports, data QA etc.

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!

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.
