About eClinicalWorks

eClinicalWorks (eCW) is a comprehensive platform designed to streamline healthcare IT for value-based care. The technology covers various aspects of patient care, including scheduling, check-in, documentation, labs, prescribing, billing, and follow-up. The EHR caters to a wide range of medical practices, with over 180,000 physicians nationwide and more than 850,000 medical professionals globally using its clinical documentation solutions. The EHR offers several advanced features including advanced "AI assistants," like PRISMA, a cutting-edge health information search engine that consolidates patient records from diverse healthcare systems; Scribe, an automated documentation tool that boosts efficiency and accuracy; and Eva, a virtual assistant granting providers immediate access to patient histories, health records, and scheduling capabilities directly at the point of care. The platform also has in-place editing capabilities and patient safety and compliance dashboards to ensure accurate and compliant documentation. Additionally, the EHR comes with free data exchange through the CommonWell and Carequality nationwide networks, enabling seamless information sharing between healthcare providers. eCW's Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) and billing services offer healthcare providers the opportunity to streamline their billing operations and enhance profitability. Whether providers choose to handle billing internally or delegate it to eCW, they can expect top-notch services, including achieving an impressive first-pass acceptance rate of 98% or higher. The in-house billing solutions provide providers with greater oversight of the billing process, heightened accuracy, efficiency improvements, and cost savings compared to outsourcing. Additionally, providers have the option to leverage automation through bots to streamline billing procedures, reduce administrative burdens, and enhance accuracy. For those opting to outsource their billing, eCW's services enlist seasoned billing professionals adept at utilizing cutting-edge technology and industry best practices to ensure punctual and precise billing. Furthermore, comprehensive reporting and analytics offered by eCW assist providers in effectively managing their revenue cycle. eCW also provides a range of patient engagement tools designed to enhance the workflow of front office staff and healthcare providers alike. Front office staff can take advantage of features like online check-in and appointment booking tools to streamline administrative tasks and enhance patient satisfaction significantly. Healthcare providers benefit from tools such as Patient Portal, Messenger, healow Pay, and telehealth, which foster improved care coordination, elevate the patient experience, and offer virtual care options to meet evolving healthcare needs. In the era of Value-Based Care, the healthcare sector has pivoted towards prioritizing quality over quantity in patient treatment. Providers are now encouraged to offer superior care leading to improved patient outcomes, rather than merely focusing on the volume of services rendered. This evolution has brought forth fresh challenges, particularly in areas like care coordination, coding, and population health management. eCW steps in to bridge these gaps by providing a suite of tools such as HEDIS, Chronic Care Management, Transition Care Management, Care Plan Oversight, and Remote Patient Monitoring. These tools empower providers to efficiently manage patient populations, enhance care coordination, and deliver top-tier care that meets the requirements of patients, providers, and payers alike. By leveraging these tools, providers are harmoniously poised for success in a Value-Based Care landscape that demands excellence in patient outcomes and care quality. Innovative, advanced, and comprehensive, eClinicalWorks continues to stand at the forefront of transformation in healthcare IT.

It gets the job done

It gets the job done for us and it probably just like most other EMRs they all have issues but at the end of the day they allow you to record your notes and bill the insurance.

Pros

ECW can get most of what you want done. I work mainly on the reporting side and staff support. The ability to pull reports is pretty good with their EBO system. We get almost everything we need reporting wise from that system whether it’s financial or encounter data. Their support is pretty responsive usually calling back the same day in most cases. Their billin service is pretty good and is very reasonable. Our company pays about 8% totally cost with ECW which is pretty much the industry standard.

Cons

There are sometimes a lot of clicks with ECW. Anytime you do an upgrade something is not going to work which is very frustrating. If you are a CPC practice you will be frustrated as their reporting dashboard took until the middle of 2018 to start working and then we upgraded and now we are waiting on a patch to get the dashboard back up. Don’t expect to speak to anyone that’s first language is English when you call support. We started with ECW in late 2015 and we had to setup everything from scratch which we thought was really strange as they have so many practices you would think there would already be templates for almost everything.

20 years of using eCW -- what's it's been like for me

It's an excellent company with dedicated, ethical people. Their product just gets better, year over year. Good company.

Pros

Their support is outstanding -- prompt, professional, kind people. The software itself makes it possible for a solo doc like me to manage the whole practice by myself. Just very fast and efficient.

Cons

There are still more mouse clicks than I want -- I need to keep my hands on the keyboard when I'm typing -- but they're moving in the right direction every day. I've used eCW for over 20 years. Glad I chose them.

One of the top 3 worst Systems of all time.

Bad system, they tell you everything is in one but really, it's a frank stein system and you can't ever get anyone to actually solve any issues.

Pros

I don't like it, between the fact that you have to pay for each item instead of it being one full product and the Support being less than helpful, it's a crappy system.

Cons

1. You have to pay for a bunch of add ons, clearing house/statements, check in and others.
2. Support sucks, they can't get into the system to change anything you have to go through an admin account which doesn't work if your admin is locked out.
3. Constant issues with connections for scripts, billing and other parts of the system.
4. Reporting in the system is no clear enough.
5. Surprise issues all the time - Change healthcare hack, MIPs reporting issues, etc.

Great Difficulties Discontinuing Service

Terrible to disconnect from with misinformation and fraudulent billing despite clear records of trying to cancel services.

Pros

It is a usable EMR that helped productivity and was fairly intuitive

Cons

I delayed writing my review hoping ecw would settle my issue. I’ve been charged even after selling my practice completely last December and after full transitions of ownership am still billed fully! This is considerable ongoing cost and my issues are:1) In December when I sold out we requested services terminate as the new [sensitive content hidden] took over.2) We were given incorrect information we could not cancel due to contract, then we’re told we could have cancelled anytime by clicking a button3) Verified by [sensitive content hidden] our ECW contact he sees we requested cancellation after selling back in December and again every month, HE ALSO did screen sharing and confirmed our software lacks “the button” to cancel ecw,4) we are still being billed and cannot cancel!!!
