MD Hospital & Health Care ### "MED eCare Review" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 December 9, 2021 The product itself is great. It does the job if used correctly. The people behind the scenes supping the product and the customers are fabulous and don't get the credit they deserve. Other software firms focus on sales. They forget product development and they certainly skimp on support. This doesn't happen with MED eCare. Pros The Dashboard is great. It provides a clear snapshot of important management information which can be used to quickly analyse data and correct anything that needs attention. The various reports and ease of access to data is something that saves Management a considerable amount of time when completing audits. The product offering itself is vast and comprehensive. Most importantly, it's the people behind the product. The support is fantastic. From implementation all the way through to live support several years later. Cons Not so much something with the software but generally speaking, integrations with care planning companies (at least the main players) would be hugely beneficial. Alternatives considered [Omnicell](https://www.capterra.com/p/210657/Omnicell/) Reasons for choosing eMAR The people I dealt with were most honest during the sales process. This product had some features which others didn't (although they may now have them). The founder/creator of the product was/is a nurse. Some other products were a little too new to market for my liking. Review source Vendor Referred - Incentive Offered: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Response from Vendor December 13, 2021 Jabriel, thank you so much for your feedback!
