Entirely cloud-based, with a dedicated implementation manager available for technical questions during conversion
Generating a full chart is designed to be a single-button process, pulling everything together automatically
Well-regarded for being end-user friendly, specifically within skilled nursing and long-term care settings
Smaller niche vendors are increasingly building integrations to work with it, reflecting its strong market position
Cons
Requested charts frequently come back missing documents, unsigned assessments, or flowsheets without initials

Recent update significantly slowed down charting due to more scrolling and poor screen contrast

Long Term Care, 500+ employees
More than a year
“Terrible Update”
Pros
I liked the way it used to be regarding layout and color scheme.
Cons
The new update makes it more difficult to use split screen and you have to hunt for the information in someone's cart, the scrolling tabs is stupid. The color scheme makes my eyes sad. The Progress Note Pop Out Window requires more adjustment affecting my productivity. I got to work and opened my laptop to this eye sore. Terrible.

“A secure option”
Pros
The system is easy to navigate, with a design that helps reduce the learning curve for staff. I like that it includes photos of the residents. The system is secure which means that it requires password before saving to prevent misdocumentation.
Cons
Nothing to mention here.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is PointClickCare hard to use?
The platform is generally considered easy to learn for basic daily tasks, but many users find it repetitive, click-heavy, and frustrating during busy shifts.
How does PointClickCare handle billing?
The software handles billing by integrating financial workflows directly with its cloud-based electronic health record (EHR) platform, aligning clinical documentation with revenue cycle management.
What kind of healthcare facilities use PointClickCare?
The vendor is primarily used by long-term and post-acute care (LTPAC) providers, though its network has expanded to include acute-care hospitals and health systems.
Can PointClickCare generate an alert if a vital sign falls outside the ordered range during medication administration?
Yes, PointClickCare can alert when a vital sign is outside configured thresholds, but an automatic alert during medication administration depends on how your facility sets up the orders and MAR rules. PCC shows red threshold alerts for abnormal vitals and has Clinical Alerts for high-risk events; for certain order types (e.g., insulin sliding scales) it will alert if the value is outside the administration range. For other meds, you typically need conditional MAR rules or workflow configuration to enforce vitals checks and trigger alerts at the time of dosing.
Does PointClickCare have a mobile app?
Yes. PointClickcare offers a mobile application that can be used on Android and iOS devices.
