Cerner Millennium vs. CareLogic EHR

Cerner allows us to access and enter all the information that is needed to take care of the participants. It is not really geared for the research environment. There was a lot of customization that was needed to tailor it to our needs. There is turnover with staff in Cerner and when there were some downtimes Cerner staff did not know who to contact at our facility, eventhough the information was shared with them already.

Carelogic EHR, by Qualifacts is the second scheduling software my company has used, and so long as there are no unfortunate changes it will be our last. It is user friendly, meaning that it is easy to train employees in, and is well organized. The simple interface takes out much of the guess work.

• It is difficult to obtain information from CareLogic for use in customized reports if the user is not familiar with building reports in Pentaho.
• Rather than having the capability to transmit electronic prescriptions on its own, CareLogic relies on an external program to do so. Prescribers must exit out of the document they are in so that they can access the external electronic prescription system. This system has an additional cost. It would be nice if it could be an all in one system.
• While the company is usually eager to respond to customer needs, something always seems to be broken or need updating in regards to functionality. This may be a function of our agency's location and the unusual needs we have due to our state mandates, but it is tiring to always have to worry about a workaround.

There are times when it is very useful and yet there are times when it is more cumbersome than it has to be. The day to day operations are user friendly, but when there are upgrades there are times when it does not always work well for a small facility

The rating of "3" represents CareLogic's quick loading of pages, however, the reports are super slow and there is no progress bar or notification to let you know if a report is running or not. I've let a report run for an hour before only to find out that the interface never registered my click to run the report.

The customer support at Qualifacts is great. When you have an issue you can submit a ticket to support and they're on top of getting things straightened out and always available by phone as well. The struggle with the overall support is it doesn't seem like the needs of the users are heard. When you ask for what should be a simple fix or something that seems the system is missing, it gets labeled an Enhancement Request which is where requests go to pasture.

Cerner Millennium is a more established company and we wanted the confidence of a company that will have a very long shelf life. Now since it is part of Oracle Health, that confidence has been reinforced. The support system was greater from Cerner than it was from Evident and the larger staff gave us more reassurance to use it

CareLogic is more a affordable that other competitors. CareLogic takes less time to understand and incorporate. I would say that it has its limitations and is not as intuitive. There is a lot of clicking back and forth between functions and can be annoying. There is also sometimes loss of data. If something goes wrong in the program there is no backup- this may be something that can be added, but my company has chosen not to

• Upkeep and maintenance costs are high.
• For better performance and configuration options, it is cheaper than competitors.

• No more paper records.
• Prescriptions never get lost.
• Staff have many complaints about work flow.
• New hire training has to be ongoing- it's hard to learn.
