Epic Haiku & Limerick Reviews

Smart links are a must have for Haiku

Chester-Mester

Haiku is the platform I use the most to interact with my institution’s EMR especially on the inpatient side. My rounding starts with it, and most of my work is done from Haiku, reviewing recent vitals, labs, putting orders, adjusting meds, etc.. I also start my notes using the in-app dictation feature right after I see a patient and even do my billing from Haiku but unfortunately I cannot finish my notes in Haiku because of the lack of smart links that are routinely used in notes (meds, vitals, labs, I/O) to be able to properly bill. Without smart links in Haiku one have to go to the desktop at the end of the day to finish notes. To improve rounding efficiency smart links have to be added to haiku note writing. ALL providers use their phone haiku apps to round, I have rarely seen any use canto on iPad and thus more improvements and development should be done on Haiku.

H&P?

Cannot understand why H&P’s cannot be viewed on this app.

Integrated Companion to Epic EHR

While the functions will vary according to your healthcare systems configuration choices, this is a great app! Epic continues to surprise with finding ways to perform functions on a mobile device that normally are only available on a fixed device or larger screen.

Beta not working

Not supported on iOS 14.5

Unable to use for more than one hospital and no vital signs

The app should allow you to toggle between multiple - (at least two) hospitals organizations so that you have access to patient care while you’re on the move. Realistically many physicians care for pts at more than one place and access makes it easier for us to provide pt care. Also, the app does not provide anything more than stagnant vitals (like a single not even complete set obtained during some point of the hospitalization). A tab for vitals (that can be customized [because maybe all I care about are MAPs, etc]) similar to the tab for lab results would go a long way in making this app much more functional for those of us tracking pts over the course of the day and making pt care decisions. The alert/notify me function is very helpful.

Need improvement

LaneDudo

One thing I wanted to see added is the ability to read patient messages. Very frustrating when I click on them and they’re empty. What’s the point of having Haiku if I can’t respond to those messages if needed.

Awesome AMAZING I use my phone over desktop

I can't say it strongly enough Epic is great and the app is amazing I use my app over my desktop 95% of the time and IF the PACS system at your hospital is good, it is WAY faster to look at images when on call or walking the hallways

Stacking effect on notes

Sly.ak

Very annoying as notes are stacked one on top of each other. When you scroll, the stacking effect disappears. This was not fixed with the most recent update. App also needs user to click on faceID button every time app is opened. This can be done without having to press on the button every time. If faceID fails then can go to password, at rounds this is an extra unnecessary button to click.

Horribly limited functionality

jrich07

Unacceptable product from a world-class EMR like Epic. Can’t believe they haven’t put more work into this. The app tells you more about what it CAN’T do than what it can do (which is very little). People are typically using Haiku because they don’t have a readily available workstation, yet all it does half the time is tell you to go to a workstation to see/do what you need! Lack of EPCS capability is also outrageous. This app was a huge mood killer to discover during our highly anticipated Epic go-live. I can only hope it improves substantially in the very near future.

Issues with update

Not sure if the app was updated, but now it consistenly times out and logs you out.
