Key Takeaways

Generated from the text of customer reviews

eClinicalWorks is a cloud-based EHR and practice management system for healthcare teams. It supports primary care, behavioral health, and other specialties. Users value managing clinical and administrative tasks together, but some find the software hard to learn. Recently, eClinicalWorks launched the AI API Workbench, a platform developers can use to build and customize autonomous AI agents for their organization’s workflows.

Our Verdict

eClinicalWorks is a practical option for high-volume ambulatory practices that need support managing patient visits and billing. Its pricing can become costly, with additional charges for extra products and services. We recommend it for growing practices that want the option to outsource billing and revenue cycle management (RCM).

What Is eClinicalWorks? 

eClinicalWorks is a cloud-based electronic health record (EHR) and practice management platform designed for healthcare practices of different sizes. It supports the patient's journey from scheduling and check-in to clinical documentation, prescribing, and follow-up. Healthcare teams can manage medical records, labs, prescriptions, and administrative operations while using interoperability tools to access information from nationwide networks. 

The platform also offers solutions for patient engagement and value-based care, including telehealth, patient portals, check-in tools, messaging, care planning, and population health management. For financial operations, eClinicalWorks provides Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) options, allowing practices to manage billing internally or use the vendor's end-to-end RCM service. 

What Is eClinicalWorks Best For? 

One of the standout features of eClinicalWorks is ‘PRISMA’, a health information search engine that brings together patient records from small clinics and large hospital systems. It also collects patient information from insurance payers and wearable devices. Its AI Assistant helps providers quickly review and summarize relevant medical information, reducing the time spent searching through records and helping them make informed care decisions. 

How Much Does eClinicalWorks Cost? 

eClinicalWorks pricing starts at $499/provider/month for the EHR Only plan, which includes the Electronic Medical Record (EMR), eClinicalMobile, patient portal, document management, and referral management. Other pricing options include: 

  • EHR with Practice Management: $599/provider/month
  • RCM as a Service: 2.9% of practice collections

Besides the base subscription, users should also consider the following additional costs: 

  • Implementation And Setup: $1,000–$25,000+, for practices with more than nine providers
  • Custom And HL7 Integrations: $1,500–$10,000+/interface, depending on integration needs
  • Sunoh.ai Medical Scribe: $199/user/month

Users have mixed opinions about eClinicalWorks pricing. Some appreciate the features included in the subscription and its lack of start-up costs. However, reviewers from smaller practices often find it expensive, citing extra-cost add-ons and per-virtual-visit charges.

Who Is eClinicalWorks For? 

eClinicalWorks supports practices of different sizes, from solo providers to larger healthcare organizations. It serves primary care, specialty care, hospitals, health centers, and specialties such as: 

  • Behavioral health
  • Urgent care
  • Vision
  • Dental
  • Ambulatory surgery centers

eClinicalWorks Use Cases 

Based on our analysis of eClinicalWorks features and capabilities, we have identified a few key scenarios where this platform can be a good match for specific operational buyers: 

Orthopedic Practices Struggling To Manage High Patient Call Volumes 

A missed patient call can mean a lost appointment or delayed prescription refill. Call center teams at busy orthopedic practices may struggle to manage high call volumes. Instead of routing every request to staff, healow Genie by eClinicalWorks handles routine requests and routes prescription refill requests to the physician team. It also handles routine patient requests through automated call interactions. 

Home-Based Care Providers Struggling With Clinical Documentation 

Imagine a home-based care provider moving between patient visits while still needing to complete detailed clinical notes. Writing during appointments can take attention away from patients, while finishing notes later can extend the workday. Providers can use Sunoh.ai during home visits to prepare draft notes for review, then check and finalize the documentation after each encounter. 

Multi-Specialty Practices Struggling With HCC Risk Adjustment 

In a large multi-specialty practice, coding teams may spend significant time reviewing patient records for missed HCC codes and risk adjustment opportunities. eClinicalWorks' HCC module scans structured and unstructured data, including claims and interoperability data, to identify possible coding gaps. Evidence-supported recommendations are then shown to providers at the point of care, so providers can review the flagged gaps and supporting evidence when documenting patient care. 

Billing Teams Managing Claims And Denials 

Imagine a billing team processing thousands of services each month across multiple locations, states, insurers, and specialties with limited staff. eClinicalWorks RCM provides claim-scrubbing tools to check claims for errors before submission and supports electronic payment posting. These checks help billing teams identify claims that need correction before they are submitted to payers. 

Providers Needing Patient Records From Outside Organizations 

A patient arrives for an appointment after receiving treatment from multiple hospitals and specialists. The provider needs additional information before making a treatment decision. Providers can use PRISMA to review available outside records when assessing a referral or planning a patient's transfer of care, helping them consider relevant findings before deciding on the next steps. 

Is eClinicalWorks Right For You? 

If disconnected systems are making it difficult to manage clinical, administrative, and patient workflows, eClinicalWorks may be worth considering. It supports documentation, scheduling, billing, patient engagement, telehealth, and revenue cycle management. These capabilities can help practices manage a range of clinical and operational tasks within one system. The vendor's cloud-based EHR and practice management software runs in Google Chrome, and its eClinicalTouch EHR app is available for iPad. 

eClinicalWorks also maintains security and compliance credentials including HITRUST, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, CSA STAR Levels 1 and 2, and TX-RAMP. Its EHR participates in the ONC Health IT Certification Program. 

As healthcare moves toward AI-assisted workflows and nationwide data exchange, eClinicalWorks reflects both trends. Sunoh.ai helps reduce manual clinical documentation, while PRISMANet, its QHIN under TEFCA, supports health information exchange across participating healthcare organizations. Nearly 5,000 practices are connected to patient data through PRISMANet. 

The platform serves more than 180,000 physicians nationwide and over 850,000 medical professionals worldwide. Its customers include Pinnacle Orthopaedics, Bloom Healthcare, and Compass Health Systems.

EBO In Reports And Analytics

eClinicalWorks Business Optimizer (eBO) provides reporting and analytics for clinical, financial, and administrative data.

PRISMA Interoperability

PRISMA helps providers access patient records from different healthcare organizations. It brings available information from hospitals, specialists, clinics, and other connected sources into a searchable patient record, helping clinicians review a patient's medical history when making care decisions.

Patient Engagement

eClinicalWorks provides patient engagement tools through its healow ecosystem. Patients can schedule appointments, check in, access health information, communicate with their practice, and attend virtual visits. Practices can use these tools to give patients more ways to access and manage their care.

See How It Works
Revenue Cycle Management

eClinicalWorks offers RCM service for practices that want to outsource billing rather than manage the entire process internally. The vendor's billing team handles claim processing, review, scrubbing, follow-up, denials, and appeals.

“Helpful dashboard and color-coded schedule”

The dashboard pulls a lot of information into one place and the color-coded schedule helps users spot open appointments quickly at a glance.
