PointClickCare
PointClickCare Core EHR Platform is an excellent platform for monitoring patient data. The ability to generate customizable reports is extremely helpful when it comes to analyzing various kinds of data (e.g administration record reports, action summary reports, detailed census reports). The platform really does a great job organizing patient data in a way that is intuitive and easy to interpret.

I think Kinnser Home Health is wonderful for all small, medium and large size agencies because you can't get any better from an employee perspective, and that is paramount to home health. I also love that you can go between Home Health and Hospice if you have both divisions in one system easily (a toggle button at the top of the screen). I think the financial management system is challenging when you are a large agency, but I still don't think there is anything better on the market, and I would highly recommend it to anyone

Cons
PointClickCare
  • It would be interesting to allow for a "post cash" aging view, whereby those who post cash can see what the aging will look like once a cash batch is posted. Otherwise, I have no immediate items which could benefit from imporvements.

  • There appears to be no configuration for the site to work well on a mobile phone. Difficult to capture patient signatures and save charts in progress.
  • No integration with other software systems, ie; no way to import new users from an HRIS.
  • Just some standard reports available, no room for any DIY customized reporting.
  • No way to set job title-specific User Profiles to grant the same user role access to specific disciplines.
  • Time-consuming and tedious user profile set up, have to remember to go back into the newly created profile to update the demographics of the user. Not an intuitive programming feature - it should be a logical workflow to bring you through the steps of creating a user, assigning roles, and then updating the demographics. Lots of room for user errors in forgetting to finish all three steps.
  • No tool for a supervisory role for clinicians to be assigned as a lead over a group of other clinicians to ensure that they are completing their charting timely and correctly without giving that supervisor access to the ENTIRE patient roster.

Easy across the board. Multiple disciplines use it from nursing, to therapy. It is usable on the road with a mobile device or in computer. It is user friendly and offers a clean and efficient point of care and documentation center. I would recommend to most disciplines that use it for home health

Reliability and Availability
PointClickCare
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.

It's very good. For complex upgrades that I request, they don't obviously get to them immediately, but for all technical issues or training issues they are 100% on target

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

It takes 60 days to move all patients over depending on when they re-certify. It was a very easy process

Alternatives Considered
PointClickCare
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.
