Qualifacts InSync offers a cloud-based healthcare IT solutions configured specifically to the user's practice and workflows. EHR, practice management, medical billing, telemedicine, e-prescribing and patient portal for practices of all sizes.
Insync implementation was far better than other EMR's that I have implemented. The customization on workflows and documentation is easier to create and modify on the fly than other systems. Overall the ease of use, customization, and cost were the deciding factors to go with …
Epic is not priced or designed for the small provider offices. However, if current Epic customers are willing, they have the ability to bring those smaller groups onboard through Community Connect. This allowsthe smaller group to have the full benefit of Epic without the hardware and software costs associated with owning Epic.
Insync [Healthcare Solutions] is amazing for behavioral health settings. The customer support/help desk is very responsive. When I call someone answers within 3 minutes and spends as much time as I need resolving any questions. Establishing the medical record is simple with treatment planning easily accessible. Onboarding new staff is effortless, especially with the use of their video tutorials. My office assistant told me today, "I have worked with a lot of EMR's and this is by far the best ever". I totally agree!!
There are doctors' notes templates with prepopulated fields in them. This saves a lot of time.
Epic sends medication orders to pharmacies electronically so that we do not have to call. This saves a lot of time.
Epic has a Secure Chat feature via which we can send HIPAA protected messages to any employee with the patient's name and record attached.
It has a PDMP link. We can look up what controlled medications such as opiates patients have been prescribed and by whom.
It links to MyChart, which is a platform via which patients can look up their own information without them having to call the doctors. This saves a lot of time.
Visual Updates: While Epic is constantly improving the user experience, there are a few features that still need a design refresh. While this does not effect functionality, it does have an impact on user perception.
Ordering: While placing an order for a physician is very easy, a few changes to the workflow could improve the experience for physicians.
We would love to be able to send reports via secure email (the functionality s there, but the other party needs the same software, and that is rare in our area
We would love to have electronic visit verification integrated into the software - right now we need to use a 3rd party software package
You should invest time into taking a training class before using Epic, but once you get the hang of it the usability features are endless! My favorite part about Epic is how it is automated and "trained" to catch user errors that would typically be missed in normal documentation/charting. This ensures accuracy and eliminates errors.
We have a very common behavioral health practice. We were stunned to learn that they did not have templates for common procedures. They create every customer system from scratch. That causes unnecessary delay and aggravation. Plus, you can't make any modifications after the fact. Whatever you decided on Day 1 you are stuck with.
The initial training was good but would have been even better had I been more familiar with the system before taking it. I found learning how to deal with Epic while working in the field at the same time was a (pardon the pun) Epic learning curve. I really think there should be a scribe who does the data entry and others can focus on what they do best.
Epic gives extensive customization options in terms of utility and view. I have found this to be highly useful and efficient EHR as compared to other EHRs we use in our organization.
NO MORE "CIRCLE OF DEATH"!!!!!!!!!!!!! No need to find "workarounds" for everyday tasks. No more need to scan and upload paper documents! Billing is much clearer. Claims and statements are easy to monitor. [Insync Healthcare Solutions] has listened [to] its clients and built a system that caters to all!!!!!!! No regrets with our decision to go with [Insync Healthcare Solutions]!!!!
It must have had a positive impact as things get done quicker, leading to easier billing/coding. It must be saving a lot of money and time. I am not aware of a better product.
We love the ease of use, it really creates a smooth process between departments.
We have had some issues with the billing, but it is partially staffing and partially training- we are still working with our staff and our representative from Insync to fix these errors, so it is difficult to put the blame on Insync [Healthcare Solutions]. I believe some of it is user error.
The conflicting information we receive from Insync support has created a lot of issues in the billing department. I would like more consistency from their support team, as I have witnessed two people ask the same question, and get a completely different answer. Again, this could be a user error contributing to the confusion, but consistent responses would be helpful to solve the issues.
