What do you like best about symplr Clinical Communications?

Easily and directly communicate with healthcare professionals. I am able to easily send a messenge to providers with an extension where they can reach me. In my experience, it allows better communication overall. Issues with patients medications are more easily solved. I utilize this healthcare tool mostly for our meds-to-beds program. Issues with prescriptions are more easily solved when clarification is needed. I have never had any real issues with the messeging app. Wifi compatability is typically direct and instantaneous. I have never had issues with the app crashing or freezing. It is very reliable and I receive messages/replies very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about symplr Clinical Communications?

I wish there were an easier way to remove unread messages. Occasionally it is hard to tell if a use is working or not working. At times I come back to work, login to my account and I will have multiple unread messages. I am not sure if there is a way to make automated messages when i am off or on vacation but that may be useful if the function doesn't exist. It is hard to find dislikes about this messenging service as it works very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering symplr Clinical Communications:

A great tool to add the healthcare professional arsenal, especially with large institutions.Doc halo allows for quick communication between departments and faster patient care. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is symplr Clinical Communications solving and how is that benefiting you?

Benefits include direct provider/healthcare professional communication. There is little need to try to find the provider in the hospital or trying to find extensions. This communication leads to faster patient care. We were told by our institution that messenges do not qualify as direct orders from providers. This is being sorted out by the compliance department and the providers. The issue lies at the provider level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about symplr Clinical Communications?

Accessibility. I prefer to use the web-based version because I can see it easily while doing telehealth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about symplr Clinical Communications?

While reminders are helpful, they come very frequently. If I'm with a patient, my watch may vibrate 5 times with reminders. I appreciate the reminders, but they're very close together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is symplr Clinical Communications solving and how is that benefiting you?

Communication between myself and my colleagues/supervisees/students that is HIPAA compliant. It makes it much easier to communicate about a patient without being vague. It also helps keep things organized in communication. While I may be having 5 conversations with one person, they're organized by patient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about symplr Clinical Communications?

It is fairly user friendly. You can create group messages and adding people is easy to do. Notifications are timely. Can use on a computer or smart phone. Actually easier to use on a smart phone via the app than a computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about symplr Clinical Communications?

I dislike that you have to sign on via the computer every single time I have a message come up. I would like it to be an automatic sign on when I log into my computer in the morning. This slows down access.

This is also just nit picky, but I don't like that I can push the "enter" key to send the message and actually have to push send. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is symplr Clinical Communications solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a good and secure communication tool. We frequently need to exchange information quickly on patients and I appreciate this platform, instead of email or tasking through our charting system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creating contact groups is helpful for better communication regarding the Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about symplr Clinical Communications?

System is slow, freezes/stops responding frequently and this very frustrating as a clinic nurse when I am trying to contact other members of our team and our surgeons/residents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering symplr Clinical Communications:

Need to make messaging system function more efficiently for high traffic clinics - frustrating to be in the middle of communicating and have software constantly locking up and being non-responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is symplr Clinical Communications solving and how is that benefiting you?

Better communication with our residents and surgeons would be possible if the system would not keep freezing and becoming non-responsive. When the system is functioning it works very well but I have trouble with it locking up multiple times per day requiring me to sign out and sign back in to continue sending messages. Having messages save as auto-drafts would also be helpful when you are typing extensive messages to providers and system becomes unresponsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Todd Jones of symplr Clinical Communications

Laura, thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing issues. Whenever the app is not performing as you would expect, please contact Support @ halohealth.com so we can address the issue and improve the experience. Thanks again for this feedback.

What do you dislike about symplr Clinical Communications?

I don't like that I cannot access my pictures from my phone to send to another provider. As an example, if I wanted to take a picture of a learning topic (no patient information) and save it to my photos, I cannot send that image in Halo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about symplr Clinical Communications?

Secure messaging and easy to find names of the person you are trying to contact. It ensures HIPPA compliance while still making it easy to communicate effectively with consultant services. The help centre at halo health has also been amazing, when I initially had trouble logging in with my account on my previous phone they were prompt in answering my emails and helped me resolve my problem and even followed up on it at a later time. I also really appreciate the forward feature when I'm sent information that is pertinent to other physicians as well. I enjoy using Halo and would encourage all residency programs to adopt this system. I also really like that Halo can be accessed from both my phone and laptop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about symplr Clinical Communications?

Inability to save the message once you start typing it when you want to look at a previous message. The inability to paste into the text box has also proven to be annoying when I need to send something that I received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is symplr Clinical Communications solving and how is that benefiting you?

Easy communication in a secure manor without violating HIPPA. Improves direct communication with consults without always having to call them. A problem that it solved was allowing my nurse to send me messages about my clinic patients while I'm working at the hospital. Of course this is very beneficial in ensuring continuity of care while again maintaining patient privacy. The ability to call using Halo is also an under utilized tool. It is very beneficial once I figured out how to allow the app to have access to my phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about symplr Clinical Communications?

That I am able to see if and or when colleagues have read the messages I've sent in anticipation of a response Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about symplr Clinical Communications?

It is a little bit difficult to add someone to a chat once started. Sometimes there may be someone else that needs to be added to a chat at any given time - with Halo, there were times when we would have to start a new group in order to add everyone that we needed the information relayed to. if there were some sort of process to make this easier that would be great. We also were unable to remove people from a group chat once started. Like the earlier problem, there were times when we just needed to be able to remove someone who was no longer affiliated with a project, or no longer on shift an d in order to do so we would need to start a new chat which was not always so efficient in the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering symplr Clinical Communications:

I think If you have many groups of people you need to access this platform and want an easy way to inform everyone at one time this is a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is symplr Clinical Communications solving and how is that benefiting you?

accessibility to providers - sometimes they are hard to track down in house - with halo we are able to keep everyone in the loop quickly and efficiently without having to go to the floors and try to find the providers in house. With Halo we are able to keep everyone in the know and get the information to the team, care providers, researchers etc. in a safe way for everyone involved.
