Medicat Has the Largest Support Team
Ask any student health center director what keeps them up at night, and their EHR software rarely tops the list.
What does, however, is whether someone will help them when an immunization deadline collides with a system configuration issue and 3,000 student records need to be reviewed and verified by Friday.
That is the moment when a strong and capable EHR support team earns its keep, and it’s where Medicat has built its biggest advantage over other EHRs on the market.
Why Support Is the Real Differentiator
Most EHR platforms sell features. Features look great in a demo. But a feature list isn’t everything.
Campus health and counseling centers run on tight calendars and tighter staffing. A single unanswered ticket can ripple into missed appointments, compliance gaps, and frustrated students. That’s why the size and strength of your EHR support team matters more than almost any single feature.
Medicat has spent 31+ years serving 500+ college health, counseling, and wellness centers. That history shows up in one place customers feel every day: the people supporting your use of the software.
What a Large, Experienced Support Team Changes
A big, well-supported team is only useful if it knows your world.
Medicat’s support staff are not generalists routing tickets for any industry. They understand immunization compliance cycles, counseling documentation, accreditation demands, and the rhythm of an academic year. In fact, nearly 25% of our team members come from a background in clinical care or student health operations!
That expertise translates into practical wins for the centers we serve:
- Faster resolution when it counts: Peak weeks like move-in and flu season get covered by people who have seen those spikes hundreds of times.
- Guidance, not just fixes: The team helps you configure workflows the right way, so problems stop recurring.
- Continuity across your journey: From onboarding through your fifth year on the platform, you work with a team that knows college health workflow like the back of their hands.
- A peer network behind the desk: With 500+ clinics on the platform, your support contact has likely solved your exact question for a similar campus already.
Clinics continue to use Medicat because the support team continues to be an asset and partner long after the contract is signed and onboarding is completed. Here’s what one of our clients had to say about one of our incredible Application Support Analysts:
“Terry explained what I was doing wrong and HOW to fix my problem!! She is always so helpful! Thank you!” ~ Medicat Client
Built for Higher Education, Not Generic Healthcare
Support quality falls apart when the team does not speak your language. Agents trained to support hospital billing will always struggle to advise a counseling center on CCMH benchmarking reports, for example.
Medicat’s team lives in the specifics of campus care. Because MedicatOne unifies medical, counseling, immunizations, and accessibility clinics on one record, the same support experts can help across every part of your campus operation.
This is what an integrated care philosophy looks like in practice: one record, one platform, and one team that understands how the pieces connect on a real campus.
Real Scenarios Where a Large Support Team Pays Off
Consider a college health clinic heading into immunization season. A new state requirement changes what counts as compliant, and thousands of student records need review over the summer. A support team that already understands immunization workflows can help you adjust cohort requirements in a few minutes, not weeks, and keep students compliant and ready to start classes.
Now consider a counseling center launching group therapy scheduling mid-semester. Getting the setup right (the first time!) protects clinician time and student access to key services. Medicat’s experts guide the configuration, so the center isn’t troubleshooting live as they roll out this new offering.
For student affairs leaders watching outcomes across campus, the strategic value is simple. Reliable support means fewer service disruptions, better continuity of care, and staff who spend their time with students instead of stuck on hold.
In the real world, here’s what one of our clients had to say about one of our Technical Analysts:
“Cecile was amazing! She followed through until my issue was solved. She was so patient with our communication back and forth. All her patience, hard work, and time is so greatly appreciated!” ~ Medicat Client
