1. 4/5I like it

   I think this version works better than the previous version. There is a learning curve involved (just like previous versions), but overall I think the UI is much more intuitive. Couple of wishlist things: 1. There should be a “default” button for each individual item in the Examination section rather than only being able to “merge” all available defaults. 2. When view past encounters for a patient, you should be able to swipe right or left to scroll between the different encounters; currently, you can view the past encounter, then you have to close it and reopen the list to choose another one.

2. 2/5Very Slow

   We upgraded to the newest version three weeks ago. Having been very efficient with the previous version and enjoying it more than the desktop version, I have to say that the opposite is true here. Running on my iPad Pro, this version runs much slower, with longer loading times in between screens (it times out with an error 20% of the time. It also has taken many normal practice functions, and made them require far more on the screen. One example: trying to fill a prescription request from my inbox rather than it bringing up the patient’s med list right on that screen, I’m forced to go to the virtual visit and pull the meds in there. The notes also take a good amount longer, as the individual load screens just take longer to get done. Another is that while you’re dictating, if a character such as a degree sign is placed, it automatically deletes your whole paragraph rather than notifying you of this to correct- highly annoying. The billing format is also worse, as it is harder to enter all of the diagnosis codes in than it was previously. Hopefully these problems will be addressed in future updates, but right now, I find myself having to go back to the desktop version more to get my work done. As others have said, it should be made easier, not harder to get things done.

3. 3/5App design

   Overall it’s a much better app than v1. However it still needs to be less clicks. Think about the most common reasons a physicians needs the app. When on call. And the most common thing we should be able to one click is send a Rx or Lab to any place anytime or to see a document and medical hx summary. It takes way too many clicks to do that now. Plus there are limits who you can send to. There should be a blank fax number field where we can put any number, doesn’t have to be someone prepopulated in our local version. Being to Call patient directly from within the app by clicking their number BUT too patient call originates from office or a masked number would be helpful since we don’t call patients from our personal phones even though that is where the app resides. A nice feature would be able to send a quick typed up letter with doctors signature to a patient would be a nice feature (sick note, jury duty letter) and inter office texting. BTW, the admin should be able to see all provider schedules from the app. Overall great job. Definite better than 2 stars, at least a 3. Make these click efficiencies and you are talking 5 star app.

4. 3/5Notifications & App slowness

   First, I use the desktop, iPad and phone as part of my workflow. As most of us have done, I have created a workflow that will allow me function efficiently in the office setting (using the desktop and iPad). The new version 4.0 has been an upgrade in some ways in regards to iOS, but a downgrade in others. For example, why do we no longer receive alert/notifications via the iPhone app? It was GREAT to know when a message/encounter/lab came in with the previous app, so that I could reply to it in an expedited manner. However, now there are now alerts and I have log in every so often to see if anything new is there. While the iPhone/iPad app has increased functionality (which I love particularly with the phone), in regards to making it more practical to use when out of the office, the app is also slow compared to previous versions! Please fix this! Also, there should be an option on how documents to list then in order of last received, instead of only by folder. Having to find “new” documents by scrolling the others that have been reviewed is time consuming in the office setting. Please make this an option.

5. 5/5Not sure what all this people are talking about.

   Firstly, “Yes, eClinicalTouch 3.9 is faster. Hopefully, they can improve this.” “My friends and colleagues, you have a fully functional EMR on a smartphone. You can do practically everything in eClinicalTouch 4 on a smartphone. A smartphone is not the best way to write progress notes for 40 patients, but I am sure that if you pass the learning curve, it is very doable. eClinicalMobile is a joke compared to the functionality that eClinicalTouch 4 gives you on a smartphone. I feel there is a good balance for this version to work seamlessly on both devices, i.e., iPad and iPhone. I will look forward to some improvements in the speed of data processing on the iPad.” “Now, why do you want to write notes using eClinicalTouch 4 on an iPad when the web-based version can give you all and more? Again, if you pass the learning curve, you can document on the iPad as fast as the web-based full version. I feel this is a great improvement overall. I can e-message my patients, renew prescriptions, review documents, fax progress notes to other providers, complete notes, or billing, and much more from my iPhone.” “Please, please, someone explain to me the previous reviews. Respectfully yours.”
