At the risk of irritating some members of the user board, I am going to ask if anyone else is having problems with UPDOX this afternoon. I lost my link for the status board. A search on Google could not find it. If you are offended by this post, please change the channel. Thank you.

The Updox status board is at http://status.updox.com/

I am also unable to log onto Updox for the past hour. The following appears after the Java window disappears at startup:

When searching for something got messages that system failed and updox was automatically notified. The whole service went down and now we can't log in.

It is totally down for us. The status website: http://status.updox.com does not indicate a problem, so we have reported an issue.

I got logged in, but Updox and the connector are red, and I can't get the document issues.

Still having issues of printing from AC to Updox. Nothing going thru. However, able to receive outside faxes into the Updox worksite.

addendum--now fully functional

It opened up ok, but then crashed. Got this message when I tried to reopen
PS the rest of the internet and other programs are working fine.

I think that UPDOX has an evil twin, DOWNDOX. It is like Dr. Jekyll and Mister Hyde. I guess life has its ups and downs kind of like a certain part of the male anatomy. I just have to laugh when I look at the status report on UPDOX for the last couple of days. I look forward to the day when UPDOX and NEWCROP work as well as our local utilities and cell phone service. IT IS FRIDAY, thank God!! I hope we can make it through the day because it is going to be busy for me. It will be easier if UPDOX is working. :-)

IMHO, this is what happens when you cobble together fragmented pieces of software. UpDox, NewCrop, try to link a PM program, all of this creates problems. This is why an integrated solution would be helpful. AC tried with V7 to integrate PM, but it was not done well. Ideally, the long term solution would be a fully functional, integrated program with document management, patient portal, and PM, but maybe this is pie in the sky.

I don't use UpDox, and this reminds me that I am quite happy using my Brother multifunction machine and PaperPort. They are in my office, under my control, and have not failed me as yet.

For anyone who might want redundancy of systems for the UpDox outages, you might consider this arrangement. Multifunction machine was inexpensive and PaperPort comes with it for free. Once again, the famous quote from Wendell, "Did I mention that it was free?" And, I must always credit my hero, Leslie, for introducing me to this arrangement.

Donna, you have a good backup plan. However, for those of us who use UPDOX extensively, we have found it to be a very effective tool in our practice, cutting down ineffiencies by an exponential number. I am all for Amazing Charts trying to develop an integrated program. Maybe they could buy out UPDOX.

Why don't you buy them both?

C'mon, would you really want to own Updox or AC, and have to deal with all of us?

Unfortunately, it seems that their strategy is NOT dealing with us?

Actually I regularly deal with several folks here directly, that is part of why I contribute on the board; we've become friends and several have become clients.

Interesting ... where have I heard this before?

Based on the advice of some folks here, I'll quote them.

"please PM me if you want to invest"

Donna,
Thanks for the great idea, currently I have an old time fax machine as backup. I have heard Leslie mention this product before, but this might not only address redundancy when "Downdox" occurs, but may offset the cost of the e-faxing extra bundles one accrues if receiving all faxes exclusively through Updox. I will have to quiz you more on this in the future, and much appreciated.

I have really appreciated having this board available to check out all the recent Updox and NewCrop outages. It has saved me and my staff much time at troubleshooting.

Comment Guidelines: Do post respectful and insightful comments. Don't flame, hate, spam.
Bert: Please comment on the board
Bert: for this issue
Mark@AC: NewCrop just informed us that there is an outage. They are investigating, but no ETA at this time.
koby: yes what a combo new crop and AC reliable as Amazon......NOT
Mnemonic: A lot of fake stuff on Amazon, Just saying.
koby: but they take it back....NewCrops fixed
Mark@AC: Updox System Issues An update has been posted We will be taking the application offline at 4:30 PM (Eastern) to perform emergency maintenance. The application will be down for approximately 1 hour.
AmazingDave: 10/14. Multiple eRx failures. Anyone else?
JBS: eRx not working for us this morning 10/15 630am Eastern
JBS: Looks like its related to the migration - we completed it by NewCrops apparently doesnt think so
beagle: updox is downdox again, 10/15
JBS: updox back up... now if we can just reach Ac to restore eRx
DocMark: eRx is up for us but slow, unworkable
BrotherJon: eRx issue for many. New Crop and AC working on it.
ChrisFNP: yep, refills have crashed twice today
Dr M @ EmmFamPr: newcrop down for us also; and we did the migration; unable to send anything electronically
ChrisFNP: Any updates fr us in the CST area?
ACZ: Still no fix to prescibing. Nobody available from AC last time I checked. I have an email request in. Anyone else?
ACZ: update on prescribing: After calling thursday morning and leaving a message, received call from AC. They changed something on their end, and prescribing is fixed.
eriklloyd: 11/11/24 - Prescription failure for us. Anyone else experiencing issues?
Pinky: Yes. Prescriptions aren't going through.
beagle: anyone contact ac and get eta fix?
AMCS: Same
AMCS: This is from newcrop: New incident: Investigating We are currently investigating an error that may occur when attempting to transmit prescriptions. This is resulting in prescriptions remaining queued. Our engineers are working on resolution presently.
Bert: I am sure AC knows. It's probably a NewCrop issue and they are working on it
Pinky: It is working now. 1pm EST. 11/11/24.
Clem Surak: Is anyone else using ACPM and the EOBs are not matching up to patient accounts and the EOBs are having to be retyped into ACPM? Started a couple of weeks ago. Payer IDs are correct and match the EOB payer IDs.
tcosta: @ Clem Surak: yes, this has been going on for MONTHS in our office. We've been told it's the payers fault and it has to do with loop segments and payer response. Doesn't make sense to me, considering it's ALL the time now on multiple EOB's a week.
tcosta: It almost never used to happen and now it's constant.
tcosta: ACPM is extremely short staffed and it's taking them days to respond and fix the issue.
Clem Surak: Yes, it has been getting progressively worse. I have a ticket logged, but have not heard back, so I keep retyping the EOBs so that our accounting is up to date. Hope the migration to the new Clearinghouse fixes this issue. Thanks for the response.
Bert: Can anyone tell me where the post is from AIDevelopment
ChrisFNP: Anyone else experinencing sloooowwww prescribing? 11/22/2024 1550CST

ChrisFNP: can't validate for controlled
DRMO: AC support did a remote assist. problem fixed. TY
ChrisFNP: MIne corrected about 2 cst
Headcase: I cannot Rx Fioricet last few days, put in support ticket....
Headcase: This Fioricet thing probably is of limited general interest, but I was able to send generic...
Bert: This sucks
ChrisFNP: A/C meeting today at NOON EST
ChrisFNP: Meeting is 2/26/2025 should have an email with the invite
koby: does it matter if NewCrap is worse on a Friday than a Monday?
ChrisFNP: nope, both are busy for me
lesmar: "Prescription batch error. There was an unknown failure trying to complete the prescription batch for [patient name]."' I was just trying to send a refill on narcotic medication. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
