Overall Satisfaction with eClinicalWorks

  • Notes look professional - medical history and medicines are listed to the side, instead of pages and pages of typed words.
  • Can easily transfer photos in the office to the medical record.
  • I just tried to dictate a single simple paragraph, and "the request is timed out"; not the first time this has occurred. Ultimately, I end up hand typing the entire note.
  • Often, when selecting a diagnosis, it is not possible to correctly create that in the Assessments; a prosthetic knee infection option is not there, but a prosthetic hip infection might be.
I often cannot assign a proper diagnosis under the assessment section; and as mentioned, sometimes (about once a month) the dictation just freezes because "the request has timed out" (even restarting the iPhone/ laptop does not help).
The voice to text is quite good, as are the photos, and the way the note physically/aesthetically appears; however, generating the note is often very frustrating, and more than once I get a "the request is timed out" screen, so the note has to be manually typed.
