Epic Haiku & Limerick

Mixed reviews for others but seems to work well for me. One fix I would like is how patients are displayed. When sorted numerically any room with a 4 shows up first in the list and then any room with a 5 shows up. E.g. room 42, 48, 408, 410, 52, 57, 510. Not sure why it doesn’t show up as 42, 48, 52, 57, 408, 410, 510 etc. This is very annoying since you have to scroll all around the list to find patients that numerically should be adjacent to each other. Changing the sort order doesn’t fix this issue.

has limited function can’t order admission medication’s can’t do the discharge medication’s can’t order consults so many problems that the developers need to fix.

Recent update took surgery start times out of chronological order. Very bad design.

The haiku app is overall very good. It is a supplement to the epic on computers, but not designed to replace it … if you want comprehensive charting, then go to your computer/laptop.

What is it with updates making things worse? Haiku update for 6/2024 now does not show location on the schedule. This used to be the only way to tell which of our offices I was at on given day, because as you know, if you log into the full epic on your computer, the schedule does not show location. Good luck if you have more than one office. But at least haiku used to show the office location on the schedule. Why was that removed? With it’s limited functionality, Haiku was basically only useful as a schedule and location checker, with maybe a quick glance at the inbox to see if I needed to log into real epic in order to address anything. Now it’s just another epic fail.

Interface needs a little work and can be a little wonky - but it’s great to be able to pop the app open to see where your patient is, catch up on labs, review previous notes, document telephone encounters, and even write orders. Every hospital has its own implementation of Haiku FYI so if you can’t do some of these things—talk to your local IS admins and get them to turn these features on. Notifications are a mess- there are too many and while you can adjust which ones you want- it’s very cumbersome to tweak.

Seriously need the ability to edit our notes I.e progress notes and H&P’s on the go. Would be very useful when talking to patients on the go. Also need the ability to see secure chat message on Apple Watch. Now u can only see u have a message and who it’s from. Need ability to reply

Doesn’t warn users of impending upgrade that will require them to reinstall it. So a busy physician suddenly has loss of functionality at the start of their work day. Poor form.

Very limited function. Ordering is difficult, can't make a note, vitals only show you one set, labs don't populate automatically and you need to open a page for each bump so you can't see trends. Overall inferior to power chart

Limerick is no longer available on my iWatch.
