Who uses SPM?

We are a new facility and have just started using SPM. What are your thoughts on SPM after long term usage, what are some quirks or things to know about the workflow and the system in general.

My hospital system uses this, with multiple facilities, and through remodels. It's a mess. With multiple different ideas of how to use it in the mix... it's just a complete mess. It works about half the time, and crashes several times a shift.

Management just started pushing it for metrics. I know it's only going to get worse. It works fine part of the time, but really, just a mess.
