Cloud 9 Software vs. Intergy EHR

Charting is easy. Clicking on all that tabs at each appointment. That makes it a lot quicker when charting. I would like to see a new tab to view X-rays. When I have to scroll through all the photos to view when we took the last x-rays, it’s a lot because we take photos at every appointment.

How well is the product customizable for workflow modifications for my clinic? Does the result flow easily for the provider or are there many chunky clicks required? (i.e. one modification to a workflow between the nurse and provider requires 27 clicks.. ok this accomplished the workflow that was needed but at what cost?) Can your system produce customized reports on the fly, is the data real time or lagging? Can the system be tuned in terms of document/note templates and the Graphic User Interface forms so a particular practice/provider/speciality needs can be taken into account?

• Awesome support via chat and phone
• Rewards program
• Cloud based
• Multiple ways to do each task
• Personal customer experience
• User friendly software
• Offer online classes and yearly meetings
• Platform to make changes and requests - yes they implement the ideas frequently as well
• The training staff was outstanding!

• Health Reminders- for different patient needs or preventive care/screenings. For example patients who have a diagnosis of Diabetes- their health reminders will show if they need an A1c, foot exam, eye exam, etc. and when it was last performed
• Orders Tracking- This helps nursing staff make notes on referrals or orders and they are able to look at the order tracking section for all patients and filter it by provider, order type, status, etc. to know what needs to be followed up on or what has been completed and so forth...
• Tasks- This is a nice feature that has many different options for use. It can be used internally to send a quick message to another user, a phone message, billing message, and any task gives you the option to make it "patient related" if necessary. It can be used by the providers when they make an order they can then send it to the nurse to complete. Lots of different ways for Tasks to be used

• I wish the check out process could be a little more simplified.
• I feel I do a lot more clicking with the mouse with opening and closing screens.
• When clicking on a patient in the schedule I wish it showed who I'm calling to verify and appointment without opening the patients chart.

• Sometimes, Intergy tends to crash on occasion, which is understandable.
• Also, when checking for insurance eligibility, sometimes Intergy will not accept a specific insurance card and I have to call up the insurance to make sure the patient is eligible for coverage. It would be nice if more types of insurances could be added.
• When creating recalls for patients to remind them to visit, sometimes the system does not cooperate properly.

I have spoken to several support members along the way, and everyone is super helpful and exited to find a solution. Everyone is courtesy and patient. I had a problem that I could not figure out on my own and just with my description, I was given clear step by step instructions to get it solved!

Usually they are very helpful. I would prefer they do some of the actual changes I am requesting instead of having me do the work. I feel that they could walk you through it, instead of letting you figure out the desired results on your own.

Better training/trainors

Track all hours and don't sign off on anything if you are not 100% happy.

The non-server version of Ortho2 we were already using would have cost a significant amount to merge our three separate office databases. Cloud 9 already had parameters set to be able to do this. All of our documents and images transferred over with just minor issues- like where would our online forms go that Cloud 9 did not have an automatic home for. Cloud 9, on the other hand, does not have nifty image layout options, their letter editor is a cranky non-Word program I do not like, and creating custom reports is definitely easier in Ortho2.

We moved from Intergy to athenaCollector and athenaClinicals. Athena is cloud-based, meaning we can access it from any location that has internet. My staff misses the ease of scheduling in Intergy, but the accountability of users' productivity is amazing. We had more control over document classification with Intergy, but sometimes that's a double-edged sword. When some people label a document "MRI-Lumbar spine" and others call it "Lumbar Spine MRI," there is some redundancy and sometimes important documents get missed.

• We could access everything from home during Covid shutdowns since it’s cloud based.
• Negative would be more time editing photos & more clicks to get to things.
• It has also made billing and insurance claims easier.

• Intergy has had a positive ROI. The financial tracking and tools have been easy to use and helped recover additional monies for practices.
• Claim Tracker allows practices to have a real time view of all unpaid claims.
• The E&M calculator helps providers choose the appropriate code for billing compliance.
