Cerner PowerChart Ambulatory EHR

Excellent

Commentaires : Less paperwork, less patient waiting time, efficient and accurate management of samples through the use of barcode system within the software.

Avantages :

I have been working with cerner powerchart since 2016 and it has been very helpful with managing patient orders specially with regards to clinical laboratory test orders. It is very organized and all clinical orders are separated by classification. It has decreased the patient waiting time and processing time for the lab where I am working. Overall its very helpful to medical professionals like me.

Inconvénients :

There is really no cons for this software. Occassional downtime, updates and server problems but those were just minor technical difficulties. And are always adressed by the support team efficiently.

Makes things easy

Commentaires : It is a great place to compile all records and look up patient information when needed. It has helped me stay on track with clinic notes.

Avantages :

I like that Cerner is transparent enough so that nothing is too hard to figure out. I am able to find patients easily, write clinic notes easily, and view past records easily.

Inconvénients :

You can only see up to 500 records before things start to disappear. I do not like this. Additionally, it can be hard to find certain records, perhaps a search bar within the records would make things easier.

Not user friendly for staff

Commentaires : It has been a stressful year implementing this as our all in one solution for EMR, feedback from all staff members has been poor to outright displeasure, with some staff leaving rather than learn the new system

Avantages :

I would say the only real benefit is that we have all our facilities on the same system and everything is there when we go to different departments

Inconvénients :

It is supposed to be easy to use, but it really isn't. As a patient i found my Stress test that was ordered was not ordered. As an IT person not being able to resolve issues myself and relying on a poor tier support system was onerous. 5 days to add a new printer after one failed. WHY?

Charting for the better

Avantages :

The software is really nice in the fact that it stores a lot of data and is very specific as to how it stores it. For example medical records being linked together so you can gather a whole medical history without calling a million other doctors.

Inconvénients :

It’s very busy and can be hard to navigate.

Cerner PowerChart -An EHR system easy to use, HIPAA compliant and efficient in your charting

Commentaires : I have had a very positive experience with Cerner PowerChart. It was the first EHR system I used when our hospital system transitioned from paper to electronical medical records. It was easy to learn and easy to navigate, making daily charting a breeze.

Avantages :

I like Cerner PowerChart because it has features that allow me to compete my patient orders, including e-prescribing, note writing, lab reviewing, patient search, all in my fingertips

Inconvénients :

Some versions of Cerner PowerChart don't have all features and capabilities activated, so different hospitals' versions have limitations, for example in searching for medications in an concise and efficient manner
