Pros and cons

My training experience with our rep has been so helpful and supportive. I will recommend ICANote any time.
Fair price, great customer service and reliable platform. They are a company with many years of experience, I have been using their product since 2005 and it has only improved over the years.
The support and training that has been provided to our team has been fantastic. The ease of use had made transition for new hires to acclimate and provide quality documentation.
There are places where you can get stuck and can't move. For example, creating a patient chart that does not have all the required information gives you an error message.
They seemed clueless of how to transfer data. They were unable to transfer records from a group practice without having to recreate the entire record.
I canceled SFAX due to poor customer service and excessive cost, and ongoing failed faxes. Approximately 6-10 in any given day.

ICANotes Reviewer

Reviewed 5 years ago

We've been using ICANotes for almost a year. I excitedly tell everyone who works in this field (SUD Residential) to check out ICANotes very reasonably priced program. We love the tech support, the video instructions on youtube and the ease of the software's use. The program is the easiest I've seen. Being a nurse-I've used many different software programs too!! We love ICANotes and have nothing but great reviews to give to the software program!!

Pros

Technical support, instructional video tutorials, ease of use.

Cons

It's a remote desktop connection (for us) and I'm unsure if that matters to some people. We have NO COMPLAINTS....this program is awesome.

Vendor response

Hi Kelly, thank you so much for the review! We really appreciate the positive feedback and are glad to hear that you're enjoying our software.

Please read...this may help you decide

Reviewed a year ago

Nothing works the way it is suppose to. Logging in takes five minutes or more. The system "Crashes" almost weekly, but you are still to pay for a service that you can't use. Telehealth works when it wants to. You either get sound or video, but not both. We go hours without being able to see our calendar or update notes or do billing because the server is updating. Support is absolutely useless. You call and wait 20 minutes to talk to someone for them to put you on hold so they can reach out to support. I would choose any other program besides IcaNotes.

Pros

The appointment reminders to patients....

Cons

Support is not helpful. Server Crashes. System takes too long to load. Hard to navigate. Screens repeat themselves. Takes to long to navigate between calendars for different providers. Telehealth doesn't work the way it should. Notes are repetitive and not individualized.

Excellent Platform for Integrated Care Practice

ICANotes has been a solid system providing the flexibility and compatibility needed in today's complex healthcare system(s). Initially and even today, ICANotes promotes itself as a behavioral health platform. However, as a larger Integrated Care private practice with over 30+ users and a multidisciplinary team of professionals this EHR has been able to meet every need we have had and more.

IcaNotes for Psychology

Reviewed 7 years ago

IcaNotes is clearly written for psychiatrists primarily so it is less flexible than I would like as a psychologist. Still, it is a good value, my notes get done quickly and the printout always looks professional.

Pros

It's easy to use.

Cons

It's geared to psychiatry, not psychology (it's like non prescriber use is an afterthought). Although they say you can customize it, I haven't found that to be true in practice.

2 years with ICANotes and very pleased

Reviewed 8 years ago
Pros

I like the preset options that are available. I use many of them to speed up note taking. I also like the ability to add my own quick key options. My notes can be done very quickly with this program. I have a Macbook air and it works wonderfully. One thing that is important to me is customer service. I have used the online chat as well as called the support number. I am extremely impressed with the staff. They are fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. I always know when I contact support it will not take long and they will solve my problem.

Cons

I think the old 2008 windows interface could use some updating. There is probably a better flow they could come up with for placement of buttons but once you get used to where everything is it doesn't matter. Learning any notes program takes time at first.

Could Use More Features. Slow at times

Reviewed 7 years ago

ICAnotes can be slow to load at times and you see lags especially when billing. Missing the ability to void claims which would be great. Auto post on payments does not always flow well and can make record keeping confusing. Great software but could be better with some tweeks.

Pros

Charting is simple and flows well

Cons

Slow to respond Billing features lacking auto post is not consistent and does not post in an organized manner, making your accounting confusing.

As a very busy child and adolescent psychiatrist, ICN has made my life so much more manageable.

Frustrating and time wasting due to connection problem

Reviewed 8 years ago
Pros

I like the layout of the documentation. Technical support are friendly even when my needs are not being met

Cons

This product has a lot of technical issues. I spend so much time trying to re-log in. This has been extremely frustrating to work with. This problem started about 2 months ago. I have called technical support on numerous occasions to resolve this issue but there seems to be no progress. I have come to believe that the team is not capable of resolving this serious issue.

Long time user through multiple years

Reviewed 12 years ago

Much better than at least two other software programs I have had to use in doing Locum Tenens work. This enables me to not have to learn more cumbersome programs other than just enough to paste in the information. Also much better than using Word and pasting as much faster and data base format gives ability to study data more readily.

Pros

1. Customizable easily by adding buttons you name and put in content for one keystroke entry. 2. Available on line and can be used on any PC where you have access to internet. I don't know if a download for use is available. 3. Can be rented by the month and stopped with two weeks notice. 4. Prints out scripts in standard format. This can be modified. 5. Able to paste evaluation or progress note easily into other programs. 6. Good customer support. 7. You don't have to do multiple back ups and worry about data loss.

Cons

I don't have any cons. If you don't like their presets for button data entry, you can use your own.

ICanotes

Reviewed 12 years ago

I started a second career in counseling rather late in life and had an extensive business background before venturing into private practice. I have been involved in several large software and internet based program implementations. I can highly recommend Icanotes due to ease of use, ease of customization and superior and responsive customer service!

Pros

The ease of use and excellent customer service were what sold me. Customization is also important to me and Icanotes fit the bill.

Cons

The program with minor tweaks could have been customized in such a way that would have not necessitated me buying an accounting software program to supplement my simple accounting needs, however, this is not the true purpose of the program. I will say however that the ownership and customer service people really seemed to care about my comments.

ICANotes over sells it's product and does not deliver

Reviewed 8 years ago
Pros

Know that my best choice was to throw in the towel and cut the losses.

Cons

After 8 months of endless problems and little support from technicians, we discontinued using the software. The extra expense of paying for mistakes made by a poorly conceived and slow-running program, for which the technicians and management would not and/or would not remedy, is unfortunate. The vendor refused to compensate for lost revenue due to poor programming.

Too Simple

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

System is fine for if you need a basic EHR for little cost. The name says it all - EHR has "canned" responses so user never has to manually develop their own content.

Cons

Not ideal for individualized care. Program is very basic and therefore not recommended for intensive programs, or programs that require specific clinical information.

Just what I was looking for

Reviewed 12 years ago

I would definitely recommend this software.

Pros

I have been searching for a behavioral health EMR system for over a year. Once I came across ICANotes, I couldn't believe how easy it was to use. I am now spending less time on progress notes and intake assessments which allows me more time to spend seeing clients. I would definitely recommend ICANotes to any clinician looking to go paperless.

Cons

I would like to have the ability to send appointment reminders via email, text messaging, and voicemail.
