"Cactus - Makes Your Job Easier!"

4.5/5

Describe the project or task Cactus helped with:

Cactus Credentialing software is designed to hold medical provider demographic and professional data that health care facilities and insurers must review at regular intervals. The software helps manage this process. Based on the data, one can also run various reports to facilitate both the review process and basic operations. For example, one can run a provider report indicating those with an expired license -- or proactively send reminders that the provider must renew and update the credential. Since health care providers must maintain multiple credentials with different renewal cycles, this is handy. Cactus can import data from other data systems, which is a huge plus -- it eliminates much rote data entry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cactus?

I like that data import limits tedious data entry but found some imported data still needed tweaking or formatting. Ultimately one has a complete electronic profile dossier on each provider that facilities can use for review. An electronic profile significantly streamlines the review process vs. assembling multiple copies of manual files. Individual files can be exported and sent via email.

What do you dislike about Cactus?

The software can be purchased/set up in a very basic manner, or additional add-on modules can make it a complete credentialing solution. While it is advantageous to have the extra features, most facilities don't purchase all the bells and whistles. For example, there is the ability to check the National Practitioner Data Bank and OIG Database etc. for sanctions automatically vs. a manual process. I love that the features are available and it is just frustrating when the organization has not taken advantage of this automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cactus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Credentialing has both financial and health care quality implications, and Cactus helps organizations meet the quality and regulatory requirements and measure progress on achieving objectives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
