eClinicalWorks is widely used by healthcare organizations for its electronic medical record system, allowing them to efficiently track patient medical information. With its user-friendly interface and robust features, eClinicalWorks has become an essential tool in hospital clinics for patient documentation and overall population health. Multiple providers have found great value in the integration of eClinicalWorks with Dragon Medical, with over 90% of them using it for dictation purposes.
Across a multi-specialty facility with more than 130 providers spread across 27 locations, eClinicalWorks has proven to be a reliable solution for electronic charting of patients. Primary care providers specifically benefit from the software's templating capabilities, allowing them to streamline their workflows and improve efficiency. Additionally, organizations are eagerly looking forward to utilizing the new telemedicine module of eClinicalWorks, which promises to enhance accessibility and patient care.
In smaller practices like a two-physician specialty practice and an audiologist's office, eClinicalWorks serves as a comprehensive electronic medical record solution.

It is used by the entire organization.
- The note layout is efficient and easy to read.
- The software is pretty. It has a lot of nice colors that are pleasing to the eye.
- We like the sticky notes on top of the chart where we can input individualized information about each patient.
- [In my experience] customer service is non-existant. You ask for simple things and their answer is always, "it cannot be done". Meanwhile, your medical assistant figures out how to do it while you were on the phone with the tech.
- There are a lot of features, bells, and whistles, many that I'm sure would be useful. Unfortunately, nobody in eClinicalWorks knows how to use them, so these features are unusable.
- [In my experience] this is an IT's heaven and a physician's nightmare. It can take 11 clicks just to refill a patient's medication.
- There will be unexpected updates to the program and every time that happens something that was functioning before will no longer function anymore. Then you and your staff will spend endless hours on the phone trying to get someone to fix it.
- [I believe] they don't care about their customers. Your complaints about how much time your staff is spending trying to get support will fall upon deaf ears.
- [In my experience] things will suddenly malfunction and you will have no idea until you get an angry call from a pharmacy or another office saying your faxes have not come through for weeks.
- With every update, they add more clicks. For example, when you are refilling medications there is no easy way to see the latest labs. That takes 4 extra clicks. Furthermore, if you review the labs and need to send a copy to the primary care physician you must exit the screen, find out who the primary care physician is, come back to the lab screen, make a few extra clicks to manually select the primary care physician, then hit send. Their default to forward the labs somewhere is back to the lab, which may make sense to IT, but not to most healthcare workers.

We use eClinicalWorks as our electronic medical record [at a] two physician specialty practice with a third professional (audiologist) all using this software.
- Access to patient's records - obvious lack of file and charts; transportable ; multi user synchronous access
- Produces clinical note as end product that is organized and "readable" as opposed to the gibberish output of many EMR's that look like a poorly formatted FORTRAN printouts
- CLick, click ,click,click ,click,click ,click,click ,click,click ,click...OK, now you can enter something...WAY TOO MUCH MOUSE WORK FOR SIMPLE DATA ENTRY. Software engineering completely not user friendly.
- As a physician, if a medication has been entered erroneously by a staff member and I discover it, I cannot amend it within the medication section - a horrible feature.
- Navigation is terribly cumbersome...I mean terribly ..had to have steroid injections in my elbow due to the development of "mouse elbow" from overuse due to excessive clicking to navigate - still painful physically and mentally.
- Only one active screen can be accessed at a time ..spend your precious time opening and closing the same windows constantly ..this is 2021..software available for nothing has better navigability.
- Forces documentation to be their way or the highway in term of entry format; cannot reasonably transcribe a comprehensive plan narrative without making it look like an afterthought under the title of "other" - forces compartmentalization even when not desired.
- ABSOLUTELY THE WORST CUSTOMER SUPPORT.... EVER...ANYWHERE
- They conduct "upgrades" without warning that sometimes cripple your operation and in the latest, remove functionality and introduce restrictions that don't allow you use a large number of punctuation characters ...even in a free text narrative. Absurd.
- Could go on but you get the picture.

eCW honest review
- Front-Desk - Easy at a glance daily payment postings to front desk staff can see their production quickly. Able to take payments easily. Add new patients quickly. See and organize the provider schedule easily. Automated phone call appointment reminders was valuable.
- Clinic - Access of old notes was easy and template structure was good
- Billing - Easily add notes to claims to track what billings was doing. All aspects of patient receivables were fairly simple and easy.
- Administration/Analytics - Not much good to say here.
- Clinic - Cumbersome and click happy. Much of the time it required the providers and medical assistants open multiple windows to get to where they needed to enter info. Workflow was slowed. CUMBERSOME!
- Billing - Reporting was a challenge. It was difficult to get out of the system what was needed. Formatting was unfavorable as well. Very difficult to set up new providers. Time and resource intensive.
- Administrative - Two of the biggest weaknesses of eCW were Reporting & Customer Service. Like billing, REPORTS on the administrative side were difficult at best. Some needed reports did not exist and couldn't be created. eCW would do that but charge $1,000 +/- to create. Not user-friendly. Exactly the opposite. Attempting to pull reports was time consuming and frustrating. Many KPIs were manually tracked - another time consuming add on to workflow. CUSTOMER SERVICE is something I don't think eCW really knows at all. It was always very difficult to get any service and if by chance we did, we couldn't understand the rep. By far both of these were the worst aspects of eCW. Which to us is two of the most important.

eClinicalWorks Review
- Ease of navigation through program. This is very important to time efficiency.
- Ability to stay in communication in real time with providers, billing, and other essential coworkers.
- Flexible custom setup to the needs of the organization on how we required it to work.
- Simplify the path of comment feature
- Create a flag alert for duplicate dates of service
- Code selection of duplication alert
- Low cost of entry and price point adjust-ability based on size of organization. Offer to web-based EMR system with very little to no need for local IT infrastructure for servers and storage.
- Easy to implement with pre-built forms for specialties.
- Good registration and scheduling system with response UI.
- Built in ePrescribe and eFax solutions.
- Billing system was lacking. No way to model financial projections.
- Reporting and trending systems were crude with no UI without custom coding.
- No easy access to patient data historically beyond 5 years for trending.

You can't please everyone
- One of the strengths of ECW can also be a weakness depending on the user's perception. ECW has a lot of redundancies. There are multiple pathways to perform a task. It can be appealing to advanced computer users because of the versatility. I have found that it tends to confuse lesser experienced computer users.
- The creation of templates is very easy and any provider in our system can create one. It definitely makes documentation more efficient. By creating a set of templates for the clinic, we are able to standardize the orders/procedures along established guidelines.
- We have converted our scheduling to open access. ECW allows us to set the follow up time and the end of the visit and then an alert is created. Front office staff can run the report and schedule patients closer to the actual time. It has improved our no show/cancellation rates.
- The interface with SureScripts has some small hiccups due to the way names are entered at the pharmacy vs in our system. About 50% of my refill requests that I receive electronically require me to confirm the patient or drug because of mismatches.
- The lab interface with Quest seems to work well and results are received quickly. There is some difficulty with the compendium staying current. Each lab company has to participate in setting up an interface and results are varied. Labcorp frequently sends duplicate results; one through the interface and a faxed set. The hospital cannot interface at all. The variability makes it difficult to have the historical lab show up in one view to evaluate for trends.
- Data analytics are not as strong as other programs. We decided to use third party software to better achieve our objectives.

An Admin and Tech view of eClinicalWorks Review
We are a multi-specialty facility with over 130 providers in 27 locations and we use eClinicalWorks (eCW) as our EHR system. We are also looking forward to start using the new telemedicine module of eClinicalWorks. Most of our primary care providers are super users when it comes to using templates. Over 90% of our providers use Dragon Medical for their dictation and they are happy for its integration with eCW.
- Our providers really love the functionality of the right chart panel as they are building their progress note
- Flexibility of building templates
- Integration of Dragon Medical with eCW
- the Chronic Care Module is the most frustrating module we have seen in eCW. Providers can't bring the note from CCM to the progress note without locking one or the other
- Not being able to open multiple windows. The lack of this functionality is the major complaining point
- Each small task is being a paid service.. we would rather see in our customer support agreement upfront. These various fees really upsetting administration.

Hospital extends eCW to Private Practices
- Intuitive to use. Many of our practices are changing from paper and having worked with other EHR vendors before, I believe that eCW is more intuitive to use than other systems which helps in the transition from paper medical records.
- Quick implementation. The standard install for eCW usually only takes a few weeks and most of this work is done remotely which saves the practice money.
- Economical. The cost of a standard eCW solution is comparable to other vendors of similar quality.
- Communication gap. Most of the support staff at eCW are Indian which often times creates a language barrier between the clinics and eCW.
- Training. Training is only one week on site for the week of go-live and then everything else is done remote or is up to the practice to watch webinars which has been a complaint of many practices.
- Upcharges. The standard product from eCW is decent but there are often upcharges for basic additional functionality that practices feel should be included.
