Pros:

I like that the software is able to maintain the hundreds of policies and procedures our hospital laboratory has to maintain. One of the best features is the CAP Inspection readiness, this has often kept us in line with what our inspectors are looking for.

Cons:

I dislike the clunkiness of the software, it can be cumbersome to move procedures around manuals, its difficult to remove from one manual and place in another. Linking procedures is often difficult and some times time consuming as well.

Pros:

The ease of use and comprehensive approach it takes to document control makes the software easy to use and easy to stay in compliance. We also use its sign off features for our off-site Laboratory Director to sign and approve documents quickly.

Cons:

I wish the software allowed digital signatures to be applied to uploaded documents rather than just the summary sheet.

Pros:

Medialab Inc. is a robust and easy to implement product that helps immensely with compliance and competency. It has become an invaluable tool in the labs I have managed.

Cons:

The only down fall is the like of a fully functional mobile app, this would help in the transition to tablets or ipads in the lab.

I have had good help from the company, but I think a couple of days with one of one together at your lab/site would be much more helpful for a small lab like I have.

Pros:

I especially like the feature to add our own company training programs and have it be easily assigned to employees.

We can only grant access to a specific number of employees. We often have to delete termed employees so we can grant access to new employees. When we do this we lose their training completion records.
