    Hi All,
    I recently attended the NI conference and after discussion with my PD, we would like to use many of the features but struggle with knowing the usefulness in our specialty. If you use NI, can you please let me know which of the following features your program is utilizing, how well it works and any other information about it you can give.

    Conferences (Do the automated emails work well? Who uses the QR code – is it as great as it sounds?)
    Procedure Logger (If you use this, can you provide a list of procedures you track in NI)
    Evaluations (Milestone mapping specifically – Does the faculty feel it is accurate and time saving?)
    Portfolio (is it used and which widgets give the best information for summarizing the items your program tracks?)

    I would greatly appreciate any feedback you can give on the above.

    Thank you in advance!!

    Hi Rebecca,
    I tried using Conferences years ago and it was not reliable. I have not had the time to look at it since about 2012, so I hope all the bugs have been worked out.
    We do not use procedure logger because the residents log in ACGME.
    Evaluations, we use these a lot for residency evaluations, especially nice for those that must be anonymous, but not for Milestones. I like that I can see the delinquent evals and send a reminder via email very easily. We are heavy OrthoBullets users and they are great for populating the milestones and our CCC meetings are much less stressful!
    I want to start using Portfolio but need some time to figure it out.

    Let me know if you have specific questions!

    I also use Med Scheduler (with NI)to populate and update schedules. It makes the process a breeze.
    I like the information options in Personal Records so I put a lot of info in there.
    Our residents also use the Duty Hour feature.

    I would have to say my favorite features is the Evaluation section. But I agree there is much more to learn about the software and I’ve been using it for about 9 years.

    We use NI quite a bit. I use it for Duty hours; personal information; test scores, etc.
    I also use it for conference attendance; evaluations for conference and for Faculty evaluating residents.

    I run reports from NI for our CCC meetings. I do enter Milestones in NI.

    We do onboarding through NI.

    It is a great program for storing so much information for the residents career.
