How We Test & Score Tools
We’ve spent years building, refining, and improving our software testing and scoring system. The rubric is designed to capture the nuances of software selection and what makes a tool effective, focusing on critical aspects of the decision-making process.
Below, you can see exactly how our testing and scoring works across seven criteria. It allows us to provide an unbiased evaluation of the software based on core functionality, standout features, ease of use, onboarding, customer support, integrations, customer reviews, and value for money.
Core Functionality (25% of final scoring)
The starting point of our evaluation is always the core functionality of the tool. Does it have the basic features and functions that a user would expect to see? Are any of those core features locked to higher-tiered pricing plans? At its core, we expect a tool to stand up against the baseline capabilities of its competitors.
Standout Features (25% of final scoring)
Next, we evaluate uncommon standout features that go above and beyond the core functionality typically found in tools of its kind. A high score reflects specialized or unique features that make the product faster, more efficient, or offer additional value to the user.
We also evaluate how easy it is to integrate with other tools typically found in the tech stack to expand the functionality and utility of the software. Tools offering plentiful native integrations, 3rd party connections, and API access to build custom integrations score best.
Ease of Use (10% of final scoring)
We consider how quick and easy it is to execute the tasks defined in the core functionality using the tool. High scoring software is well designed, intuitive to use, offers mobile apps, provides templates, and makes relatively complex tasks seem simple.
Onboarding (10% of final scoring)
We know how important rapid team adoption is for a new platform, so we evaluate how easy it is to learn and use a tool with minimal training. We evaluate how quickly a team member can get set up and start using the tool with no experience. High scoring solutions indicate little or no support is required.
Customer Support (10% of final scoring)
We review how quick and easy it is to get unstuck and find help by phone, live chat, or knowledge base. Tools and companies that provide real-time support score best, while chatbots score worst.
Customer Reviews (10% of final scoring)
Beyond our own testing and evaluation, we consider the net promoter score from current and past customers. We review their likelihood, given the option, to choose the tool again for the core functionality. A high scoring software reflects a high net promoter score from current or past customers.
Value for Money (10% of final scoring)
Lastly, in consideration of all the other criteria, we review the average price of entry level plans against the core features and consider the value of the other evaluation criteria. Software that delivers more, for less, will score higher.
Core Features
Clinical Documentation
EpicCare lets you create and manage patient records using templates, dictation, and adaptive smart tools. This helps clinicians document faster and maintain detailed, standardized notes.
Order Entry and Results Management
Physicians can place lab, imaging, and medication orders directly in patient charts. All results return to the same system, updating in real time for review.
e-Prescribing
With e-prescribing, send controlled substance and standard prescriptions directly to pharmacies. Built-in interaction checks help reduce medication errors.
Patient Portal (MyChart)
Patients get secure access to their health data, test results, and messaging tools with MyChart. They can review appointments, pay bills, and request refills online.
Care Coordination
Track referrals, transitions, and care team communication in one place. EpicCare routes tasks and messages among staff for coordinated patient management.
Reporting and Analytics
Pull custom reports on population health, compliance, or clinic performance. Built-in dashboards make data easy to visualize and act on.
Ease of Use
EpicCare’s usability is mixed: its depth and custom tools impress experienced users, but many find the interface dense and navigation complex. Routine actions like documentation and order entry are efficient once mastered, yet onboarding usually requires hands-on training.
User reviews consistently mention the steep learning curve, but also note reliable workflows after adjustment.
Integrations
EpicCare integrates with MyChart, Care Everywhere, Haiku, Canto, Rover, EpicCare Link, Cogito, Hyperspace, Willow, and Radiant, among others.
EpicCare also offers APIs and supports FHIR for custom integrations and third-party apps.
