“My only drawback is that I learn by doing, not reading instructions on what the system can do, so I have a feeling there are many features that I'm blind to, because none of us got more than a couple days of cursory training, and webinars just don't cut it.“

### "Sandy's Review"

May 30, 2023

4.0

Reporting. Our hugest struggle is getting reports to balance. Our state required data points typically giving the impression that they are inaccurate. I would like to see a more streamlined report for our needs.

Pros

I liked that the apps and widgets can be added and hidden according to user need.

Cons

I would like to see a discharge type summary for the visit. This would be helpful when sending clients to another provider. I have also struggle with the arrangement of the widgets. It is very frustrating to get the widgets in the proper/preferred order but once it is saved it flows well.

### "Good rural Public Health Department product"

June 12, 2023

4.0

Very responsive company to deal with. Perfect for a Public Health agency that is small in size and does not have full time staff dedicated to monitor and work with EHR.

Pros

very helpful implementation team and training. Responsive to problems, questions and training. Can make templates that are standardized for your practice.

Cons

the EHR jumps around while using it, slow to load up pages at time.

Reason for choosing Patagonia Health

Cost, applications that were proved in other public health agencies. History of being created especially for Local Public Health and also had experience in with agencies that had Family Planning and title X services.

### "Pro's and Con's of Patagonia"

June 9, 2023

3.0

At this time running reports for individual person or location.

Pros

All the features are important. They had to improvise and set up a program for hearing and vision. I would make sure that all departments of the organization have the same capabilities with having to improvise and set up.

Cons

Yes, we are not able to run reports for an individual person/location without having everyone's results. It first it was difficult being that you had to prepare alot of data beforehand to export into the system.

### "Public Health Nurse Perspective"

May 31, 2023

5.0

Tracking of meds and vaccines, as well as client populations. This helps to stock supplies and plan for future.

Pros

As a "mature" nurse, I was dreading the EHR transition. It was not easy for me, but once oriented, the ease of documentation and ability to find virtually anything I needed, or comment when necessary, won me over. not to mention the reporting features for inventory, tracking, QI initiatives, and the accessible record bins. now I love it! As an added bonus, all documentation is legible!

Cons

I have found that our unique activities in public health are not precisely designated in the "Assessment" and "Plans" features, so we have to choose something "close enough." This is frustrating, and noted every single day.

### "Patagonia review"

May 30, 2023

5.0

Reporting has been great and we have been able to use so many reports to get our numbers that the state requires .

Pros

I love all the training that are offered and easy to re watch when having proplems.\[sensitive content hidden\] is so easy to work with and can depend on her to call you back.the system works well and I have been a biller for over 30 years and by far this one is the best I have used

Cons

I feel you need better acsess when going live and there should be a 30 day window after going live to speak to a person as most things can be hard to understand and just haveing a person that you can call instead of doing a help ticket as the frustration leval is so high!!

Reason for choosing Patagonia Health

we spoke to other health deparments and we felt this was the best

May 31, 2023

4.0

I can really appreciate the ease of documentation with the Patagonia EHR. For the most part, I am pleased with the system. Once you become familiar with it, it is a great time saver. The lags in page loading is frustrating, and it seems it gets slower as time goes on and we accumulate more patient profiles in the system....will it continue to do so as we continue to use the system and add more patient profiles to the data base?

Pros

Now that I have become familiar with Patagonia EHR, I find it easy to find the information I need quickly.

Cons

Patagonia EHR often seems to be slow, like its "bogged down" and pages are slow to load. This seems to get worse as time goes on and out patient load grows. This is somewhat frustrating when I have clients waiting.

### "Mental Health documentation "

June 5, 2023

4.0

Pros

I don't have to create the structure for my notes and significant use documentation can be built into the notes.

Cons

Notes/documents have not been specific for school based mental health and have needed ongoing adjustments. Still working on tweaking structure to include what's needed without redundancy.

### "Patagonia EMR for behavior health services "

June 11, 2023

5.0

Pros

Patagonia makes it easy to monitor that documentation has been collected and signed, assign documents to a clinician for use or reviews, and store review patient records. The escribe feature allows for us to eliminate use of a script pad and assure medicine has been ordered at the patient pharmacy. Adding and removing staff is easy as well as training.

Cons

If the EHR could add ADT alerts with live time alerts when a client is admitted in/discharged or transfered from the ER or hospital that would help us.

May 30, 2023

4.0

I enjoy using Patagonia in the clinic. I have never used it inpatient which is what I do mostly at this time.

Pros

I like the ease of the preselected buttons that allows quick and efficient charting.

Cons

It can appear outdated and difficult to look at labs at least in the outpatient setting.

### "Customer service and features used to be great......BUT they seem to be slipping."

May 30, 2023

5.0

We used to have great customer service and someone would actually call you and walk you through your issue, now everything is done via a ticket and some issues are not resolved in a timely manner. I am disappointed in the how reports greater than 3 months have to be run between the hours of 7p-7a. When I run a report it is generally for one year and don't want to run it while I'm not a work!

Pros

Ease of use, scheduling ease and features, vaccine inventory program.

Cons

Cost. They offer online webinar trainings but there is usually a language barrier with the facilitator.

### "RN use"

May 31, 2023

4.0

Pros

Now that I have used it for awhile it is fairly easy to navigate. Initially it made nosense.

Cons

Took away helpful functions ( summary of interventions report and summary of referrals, and added things we do not need- flag questions as soon as you open a chart - not helpful. Needs to correlate more closely with Michigan MIHP requirements.

### "Not User Friendly"

June 19, 2023

3.0

Pros

Nothing. I do not like the set up and how you have to move around while trying to keep your train of thought.

Cons

It is so chopped up, hard to stay focused, with having to maneuver around to getting notes and pcp done. It is easier to see a whole page of information instead of just little boxes all over the place. Do not like this program at all.

### "Great EMR system"

June 8, 2023

4.0

Pros

What I like most about Patagonia Health is the ease with client retention, insurance eligibility, Billing, accounts receivable, client reminder messages, etc...

Cons

One problem I do have with Patagonina Health is that it is app based. Too many times our internet doesn't support it properly and the program freezes.

Reason for choosing Patagonia Health

Many WI based Family Planning programs were already using Patagonia Health, so the support and transition was easy.
