Aaniie Care vs. PointClickCare Core EHR Platform

I am not able to think of a scenario where Smartcare Software is less appropriate. All the scenarios that we use it for are appropriate and well-suited. We are very pleased with its user-friendliness, functionality and versatility and it allows us to function better and more efficiently than we would without it

I would describe the positives as: ease of billing; multiple double-checking mechanisms to properly balance census and cash; clear and simple user interface. One not familiar with AR for skilled nursing facilities can obtain good working knowledge of the day-to-day operations likely in less than a fortnight, and can perform independent of on-hand help in three months.

• PCC's census tracking is exceptional, allowing for Medicare's 100 days to be managed on the MDS and billing part.
• Cash applications are simple to use. Any errors in payments can be investigated immediately to confirm whether the discrepancy is due to inaccurate write-offs, billing, and even census.
• The month-end closing process is clean and efficient, allowing the billers to ensure all matters for the previous month have been satisfactorily addressed.

• Sometimes takes a long time to load
• GPS not always accurate when recording clock-in location
• Give us the option to show or hide client's phone number from caregiver shift reminder email
• Provide the ability to tell when a message has been seen on the desktop version, just as we can in the app version
• Update tutorials and training videos to keep up with the upgrades

Incentivized

• Sometimes the platform is slow to load.
• I'd like to see the ability to search for patients using both the first and last name. Currently it's only one or the other.
• I'd be interested to see the ability to change the color of the interface.

Overall great product. Reporting could be much better and they are working on that.

I have implemented PCC in over 100 buildings and have used it for almost 5 years. I can count maybe 2 times in 5 years when PCC downtime caused an issue for our facilities. I would say their availability rating exceeds a 10 compared to other software systems.

If by "overall support" you mean "customer service," only once were they unable to provide the assistance I needed--but it wasn't an important element of my job so no matter.

Have already stated. People learn differently and PCC needs to adapt to that model instead of all eLearning. Offer the client different learning packages.

There are a lot of software programs out there that do the same or similar things, but we chose Smartcare Software because it was good value for money. All the functionality it offers address the elements of our business that allow us to be more efficient. It is user friendly and the support is prompt and knowledgeable

PointClickCare Core EHR Platform was selected because it is organized much more cleanly than MatrixCare. In PointClickCare Core EHR Platform, patient EHRs are laid out in such a way that accessing different kinds of information is a lot quicker than it is in MatrixCare. In PointClickCare Core EHR Platform, all of the tabs (profile, census, DX list, progress notes, assessments, etc.) are easily accessible with just one click. In MatrixCare this is not the case, as you must first click into another menu before being able to access other tabs. Also the overall look of PointClickCare Core EHR Platform is more professional and streamlined.
