Better Product Quality
Before 5.9/8.4 GR, we performance tested more than 1,000 concurrent user TEST systems and showed no degradation in either EHR/PM or KBM performance compared to 5.8 UD3/8.3.11. Our quality assurance teams executed MU3 workflows and regression tests on 11 large client databases and brought in-house a total of 20 client databases for additional testing.
Better Upgrade Experience
Our data shows an average decrease of 40% in upgrade time, based on 300 client TEST environment upgrades,compared to previous version upgrades. The 5.9/8.4 upgrade experience helps you minimize operational impact because you manage a single downtime. Workflow redesign is a one-time event. So is core EHR and KBM training.
Better User Experience
The improvements we’ve made in person demographics alone – better views, the ability to collect the patient pharmacy during registration, a patient portal enrollment status icon, and more – can save your staff several clicks every day, from Day one, using 5.9/8.4. The cumulative improvements in 5.9/8.4 can add up to a better work/life balance for your entire staff.
Clinicians can manage your patient populations with:
- Better care plans
- Improved patient education
- Seamless referrals with integrated, vendor-agnostic interoperability
- Risk stratification through the new KBM workflows
Better usability and added features in 5.9/8.4 can help you engage patients more effectively and improve their experience.
