“There are, however, several disappointing issues Florence herself states, such as the inability of the site to retain feedback or to allow visitors to suggest improvements – or any willingness on her part to permit such features’ inclusion – that lead one to believe these are currently mere shortcomings.“

My overall experience with has been positive. It’s user-friendly and provides great customization options, although some features are locked behind a premium plan.

Pros

I liked that offers a wide range of customizable templates for creating professional-looking invitations and cards.

Cons

One downside is that some advanced features require a subscription, which can be a bit limiting for occasional users.

That everyone from every office can access documents, not just our team but the central offices in a different part of the country.

Cons

Not searchable (the search function doesn't work properly), the signatures don't always populate correctly, not easy to organize within it.

### "Florence at a site level"

October 24, 2023

4.0

Overall Florence is a great tool.

Pros

Integration was interesting to say the least. We tested the environment for a few months then went live the transition started before COVID however we had to push forward fast. Transferring paper to electronic documents was the best decision for our department needs. It put everything at our finger tips!

Cons

As we juggle multiple job functions on a daily basis, the limited log in time should be at least 30 minutes. The constant logging back in is a pain. However, there have been improvements since, when system logs out and return to log in at least now it takes you to where you left off. The deleted document gone forever does not sit well. Each vendor should have the option to cover a deleted document. Maybe one or two customer level contacts can control the document restore requests. Some things to consider maintaining a log and reason for request to restore, not approving all requests only those that are critical. While the shortcut feature if great to tag documents to many locations the process to shortcut can be long. The shortcut option can use some improvement. Currently can only short cut one type of document to one specific study folder location. Feature should have an option to shortcut to multiple studies at one time. Would also be great to be able to merge a document with a signature page related to the same document. instead of having to download the document merge outside of florence then upload again. Also a feature when we upload a word document in track changes the transfer should show the track changes. for those types of documents we currently use a work around to be able to save with track changes.

### "I'd recommend Florence eBinders"

October 24, 2023

4.0

Pros

eSignature workflow is awesome and ease of filing documents is wonderful.

Cons

We're required to format documents outside of the system in Adobe, which is cumbersime. Adding the capability to build and format forms the route for staff completion and eSignature would be great. Also, fine tuning the way changes are tracked on logs would be helpful. Right now when printing or saving a log the you see all changes for each individual line and it distracts from what the current information is and looks messy.

### "Moving up to electronic!"

October 24, 2023

5.0

The only problem that I have is that it takes some time to find the study you are needing, but that might just be the way that we name our binders. I have realized that we are saving money by not printing so much, since signatures are electronic.

Pros

Florence is so much better than the old ways. Pulling out big binders and filing paperwork, was not easy. Never picked the right binder, had to get another one and go through every tab to find where 1 piece of paper to file. With Florence, click on the e-binder, move the copy that needs to be filed into the e-binder and you are done filing. Click on the file you need to send out for signatures. There is no more waiting around the doctor to sign off the form. If someone is needing a form emailed to them, just open the e-binder, download and attached to email and send. Florence makes life so much easier. Thank you,

Cons

The way we have it set up, only 1 person can delete items. I hate that there are duplicates and they have to be in there until the 1 person can go and delete one. The system should ask, are you sure you want a duplicate copy entered. This way we will know that someone else already placed it in Florence and it would save duplicate work.

### "Florence eBinders Review from G.Rose"

October 24, 2023

4.0

Overall I have been able to get my work done and completed in a timely manner using . I haven't had any issues and have been been able to move in between my documents easily.

Pros

I enjoyed how easy it is to go in between our different binders. I am able to easily duplicate common documents and move an entire folder into the desired location. I like that Florence will log you out quickly after inactivity giving me the sense of security in using Florence. Something new that I really liked about Florence was a feature to insert a placeholder. This for us signals whoever is working on these folders to import the needed document when filling e-reg.

Cons

One thing I may not like is that I cannot drag a document into a folder. However I can understand the reasons to not allowing this feature.

### "Filled a big gap at our institution"

October 24, 2023

5.0

Organization, sharing information, and reducing the burden of paper documents.

Pros

I love that I can route items for signatures to multiple people all at once...and keep track of who still needs to sign a document!

Cons

At times it is slow to upload large documents, typically at the end of a day.

Reason for choosing Florence eBinders

It seemed the best fit for our institution and it filled a large gap.

### "Florence review "

October 24, 2023

4.0

As a large medical practice in order for me to start a study. On average I would get about 250 signatures to start a study. Tracking the doctors down was time consuming and many were too busy to sign. Now they can go into Florence and sign at their convenience.

Pros

I do like that we can customize our folders and binders similar to how it was on paper. Wish it could be sorted by date.

Cons

Certain adobe forms are difficult to change or alter in Florence. We must alter them then upload into Florence creating an additional step.

Workflow with Florence makes a multi-faceted workspace easy with built-in management safeguards...love it.

Pros

Electronic safety and confidentiality is 2nd to none.

### "Good system; very challenging implementation"

October 24, 2023

4.0

I hope it will get better now that we are post implementation.

Pros

It is a good system overall for ease of use and compliance. There are things that could be improved to make workflows easier but we have been told the company is open to feedback, so I am hoping that is the case.

Cons

The implementation and document migration process both need a complete overhaul. It was highly challenging, disorganized, and unpleasant.

Pros

Regulatory management will be easier to keep track of when there are expiring documents and licenses.

Cons

There is a lot to still learn. I was recently trained. The training was fast. I will need to keep reviewing. Work with the software and then give my honest opinion. It would be nice to have a search option and jump to the link.
