    Homecare Homebase
    It works well on an outpatient basis, and for services such as hospice, home PT/OT, and home wound care. It does not work on an inpatient basis and does not work well with patients who have limited ability to communicate or to stay awake, as the assessments have too much redundant information. A healthcare worker can really overstay their welcome in a patient's home while filling out all the required fields, and that can really annoy the patient and family. Families do notice when we spend more time with the technology rather than the patient.

    Although the EHR software industry is still developing, Allscripts has proven to be better than most.

    Cons
    Homecare Homebase
    • Assessment of patients takes just too long and there are just too many fields to be populated.
    • There are different ways to navigate, to arrive at the same information of interest. One has to spend time familiarizing oneself with different options. And in the end, you may not use half of what you learned.
    • The calendar does not show holidays. One can mistakenly schedule appointments and then you have to call, apologize, and cancel. It would be nice if the holidays were shown, just like on the phone calendars.

    • Some of the "canned" reports are wrong. We have reported issues to Allscripts multiple times and they never were interested in fixing the problem.
    • The work and total RVU values that are assigned to each CPT code don't have a reference for the year so we have to keep changing them every year and overwrite the old ones.
    • There is no option to load facility and non-facility values for total RVUs.

    It does everything that we need it to do. I just wish it was not as time-consuming.

    Moving away from paper reports is a little hard at first like ripping off a bandaid, but once you're fully integrated, it's just so much easier to see all your work over time and access reports, schedules, and all pertinent employment information for each patient. Not having to deal with paper files just changes the office completely.

    They explain well, however, it often takes more than 1 day for them to get back to us.

    I'm actually not sure if we call Allscripts support or our own support team with superusers. There never seems to be a problem that can't be fixed right away. The biggest problem you can have is when you start a report when the patient hasn't been checked in. I know how to fix it myself now, but it takes a few minutes with support when you need them to back it out.

    Return on Investment
    Homecare Homebase
    • So far our billing and revenue has increased compared to the prior 3 years.
    • On the other hand, nurses and other staff do make more overtime due to the increased charting time.
    • The software itself can get costly as each add-on is rather expensive. We have found that just the basic is not enough for our institution. Overall though, it has increased revenue as it allows correct billing which is needed for the insurers.

    • I am only a user but it's easy to assume that this program is very expensive.
    • Access to reports across all providers is game-changing.
    • Helping the patient navigate care by seeing not just reports but scheduled visits is also a major plus.
