Pros:“The IT support that Cerner health provides to Fort Healthcare, that suite of tools that they provide through their portal, it allows me to be a participant in my own journey towards being healthy.”
Cons:None.
Pros:It is easy to use, and I got comfortable with it quite quickly. It is easy to navigate through. In terms of easy usage and reliability, it is more like EPIC. The system is organized and does not seem cluttered at all. It is very well put together.
Cons:I didn't really see anything negative about this product, but the price of it is not less at all.
Pros:The system is pretty overpriced, when we're paying a lot for something to work, we expect it to be better than the low priced EMRs.
Cons:It has very limited options. It is clunky and hard to use.
Pros:This product by far has to be the simplest. It is so easy and simple to use. It wouldn’t confuse much. It is a really great product and due to this system, my job has changed tremendously, and it has made my life a lot better now.
Cons:This system requires a lot of clicking, even when you need to do simple tasks. It generally will take 4 to 5 clicks to get somewhere or do something. You would click at one option, then you click another option, then another, then another, then charts, click on save, refresh and then you get it done. A lot, I know.
Pros:It is easy to use. Gets the job done for you. It has all the basic features needed. Easy navigation and not much confusion. They haven’t added extra useless functions in this system, which makes things more easy to use and search information that is needed at a certain time or is requested. You won’t get lost in this system.
Cons:There are a few features that if updated would be more appreciated like the charting feature. They could make the charting feature more user-friendly and to make it easy for us to share it with other health professionals.
Pros:It is a great EMR product as it offers all the functionalities that are generally needed by any practice. The system itself is quite intuitive. It wasn’t hard to learn the software, you can easily adapt to it. You can create your own templates with it, which is so amazing. Their own note templates are quite nice, and it is really nice that they provide it. They also have a medical reconciliation feature that is resourceful for new admissions.
Cons:It is good software, but I do wish that it has some other features as well that were more easy to use like patient assessment and the I’s and O’s.
Pros:I am able to manage my time with this system, due to its feature of generating scores for particular diagnostics. It is easy to use, and I do like that this system does not restrict you to any number of tabs to be opened, you can open all that are needed at a certain time or during my shift. It doesn’t require you to type a lot, most of the things can be done with just a few clicks and is so easy and saves a lot of time.
Cons:There are days when you just don’t feel like using the system or doing any work or tasks by it and wish it never existed, but probably that’s just me. There are so many things that are repetitive in this system and they need to do something about it, it gets frustrating. And you can’t leave your desk without saving things as all your data gets lost if you leave it for a while, which is very annoying. The need to make a user-friendly save button.
Pros:We were able to code patient charts with this product which helped us save a lot of our time of training on different patient charts. This is a great product for easy coding. I really like it. With this system it is easy to carry or get information of patients from different software. You can switch between patient types easily as well. It is a great product and will help people who want to code it.
Cons:The only flaw that I noticed about this product is that it sometimes experiences downtime, so you’re unable to work and get any of the tasks done.
Pros:I absolutely love working with Cerner software at the hospital. It is extremely easy to operate and very efficient, I wish my present workplace used it too. The integration this software introduced was a game changer. It facilitates communication between different departments and the patients which prove to be highly beneficial.
Cons:The system sometimes exhibited lagging which ended up in window crashing and all progress would be lost. That was a little inconvenient. Everything else worked just fine.
Pros:Cerner PowerChart works brilliantly for all our emr needs. Albeit, there is room for some improvements but it still provides great value for the money spent. All the data is stored in a comprehensive suite, easily accessible at any point from any encounters. A lot of scope for customization, according to each provider’s preferences and credentials so everyday working is made simple and more efficient.
Cons:The system is quite easy to navigate but there are some features that aren’t entirely intuitive and require some extra workaround. Multiple frequently used functions require too many clicks to get the task done every time. There is an obvious lack of correspondence among FirstNet and PowerChart which is troublesome. It would be decent if graphs opened through FirstNet opened PowerChart as opposed to a different program of FirstNet.
