Honestly, the only reason I downloaded the app was to log hours. Unfortunately, that is a whole over complicated process. The web version has a “clock in” button which seems like something that should be on the app to make tracking hours easier. I end up just logging into the website on safari and logging my hours that way. General suggestion is just to add a clock in and out function to make logging hours less tedious.

Switched from MedHub to new innovations by HCA mandate. The NI app needs more detail and simplification for hour logs. MedHub was easier to quickly log hours via a single scroll wheel each day instead of opening different wheels for start and stop time and work out type. This makes it unnecessarily cumbersome to log a weeks worth of hours in one sitting. Also MedHub checked for hour violations and showed weekly totals on screen as well as check boxes for all hours criteria (total hours, 24 hours off each week, post call days, etc.). NI should add this. NI could also improve on this by making the hours compliance checks a 4 week average rather than MedHub which was only checking one week at a time. This is the primary function of the mobile app and could be much more sleek and user friendly

Having to use new innovations to log hours feels like a punishment. Why would you not give the option to use the same time range from the previous day? After every entry the date scrolls back to an earlier date. Give the option for work type to have a default. We moved from medhub, and for all of its faults, I appreciate it more than ever after using NI. Have the developers ever tried to use their own app? Essentially, they have no motivation to fix a design UI in an app we are forced to use. This is what the “lowest bidder” produces.

I am on faculty in a family medicine program. The app has some desirable features for residents but isn’t great for faculty. It’s hard to create evals for residents, and they aren’t mobile-optimized so it is VERY cumbersome to complete ad hoc evals. The direct observation feature has to be initiated by residents which makes it challenging to use for the intended purpose. In the era of competency-based assessment, we need quick, easy ways to give brief feedback based on observable behaviors, and this app does not facilitate that.
