### "Lacking accessibility and functionality"

July 23, 2019

3.0

PowerChart enables us to communicate across facilities and disciplines for patient care. Lab results, visit summaries, H&Ps, nursing notes, and other disciplines' involvement is all present at our fingertips. However, having worked with another EMR product, I feel this product is lacking in many areas. More innovation could be done to make navigation simpler and the layout more viewer-friendly.

Pros

Much better than paper charting; ability for interdisciplinary communication

Cons

Not as user-friendly or functional as other EMR products out there. Chart reviews take much longer and documentation feels so dependent on flowsheets that it's difficult to find important information or to communicate effectively.

### "Not as user-friendly as EPIC"

May 25, 2022

4.0

I prefer EPIC over Cerner.

Pros

Cerner is a good EMR program with the basic features of patient appointments, documentation, outside records, lab results, etc.

Cons

Cerner is not as user-friendly as EPIC's EMR. It takes about a month of daily use to get the hang of where different files and information are located in the patient chart. I wish its search feature could search more in-depth within the patient chart like EPIC does.

### "Cerner review"

October 6, 2019

4.0

Well, my overall experience my be a little more significant than others. This program is ONLY used by those in healthcare settings so I get a little more experience and time with it than most.

Pros

I like that it’s now easier to chart. We’re able to chart vitals, admitting notes, doctors and nursing notes, ADL’s and vitals in one swoop. Things aren’t really hard to find either. Once you’re directed where to go and with some practice( which in a hospital of clinic setting you HAVE to use this everyday) it becomes just like texting. Easy and smooth

Cons

There IS a lot of clicking. You basically click maybe twice to get to different options but that is overlooked pretty easily.

### "Cerner an ok but antiquated product"

October 14, 2016

3.0

I used this product for several years at a previous job. I did not like it that much. I thought it was antiquated and difficult to use.

Pros

They did pioneer some of the first things in EMARs

Cons

Not well organized, user friendly, or fast. I found it to be very difficult to use.

### "Gets the job done!"

April 7, 2019

4.0

All in all it's a good product and I am able to get my work done.

Pros

This program, for the most part is easy to navigate. The layout is fairly simple to follow. I am usually able to accomplish what I need in a days work without worrying about the system booting me out or freezing up.

Cons

I don't like that there are several different ways to do one task. This can make training new hires very difficult and easily confused.

### "New software for hospital"

August 3, 2018

5.0

Pros

Cerner was a big step up from where our organization was prior. After the initial learning phase, Cerner provided a clean, modern, easy to navigate software for a hospital of over 2000 employees. There were many different ways to get a task done in Cerner which was helpful across the board for different learning styles.

Cons

Within the first six months of use, it seemed like there more system crashes than there should have been. This put many departments behind and made things difficult.

### "Cerner user review"

August 20, 2018

5.0

Pros

I have used many ehr systems like epic, nex gen and cerner. Like all emr system it’s pretty user friendly, less clicking than EPIC. In terms of searching records within cerner you are able to search keywords and identify all the documents related to the key word which is really nice. Patient registration etc, is comparable to epic.

Cons

I have a bias towards epic, in terms of features and information exchange. However Cerner is just as good and has a few features that make it an exceptional ehr system.

### "Gets the job done without all the bells and whistles "

June 9, 2019

4.0

Pros

Fairly easy to use and navigate. Does not have a lot of extra functions that you get lost in when trying to search for specific information in a profile.

Cons

Some basic features, such as charting, could be updated to be more user friendly and shareable to other health professionals using the software.

### "Solid EHR, that is multi functional for clinic and hospital "

June 23, 2020

5.0

I would recommend to a hospital with an ambulatory clinic as it helps keep information flowing between the two systems in an accurate manner

Pros

All areas are basically the same so using this product for ambulatory as well as hospital and emergency provides ease of use. Many other facilities use this product so that is helpful in sharing of information.

Cons

It is expensive. There were some issues with our build and the billing does not work as well as we had hoped.

### "Medical software at its finest"

January 9, 2019

4.0

Pros

I have been using Cerner Powerchart for over four years and still consider it the best medical software. I find the layout to be easy to navigate and extremely user friendly. Unlike so many other software, you dont have to click through tons of boxes to complete a simple task

Cons

I really love this software and struggle to find cons. Occasionally when I click on the software icon the software doesn't load and occasionally when I'm using the software it freezes and I have to close it and reopen.

### "Cerner Extended care Road Notes"

January 27, 2019

3.0

Then individual applications work great but you still end up having to chart things multiples times because the applications don't communicate with each other. I think you should be able to document in the the nurses note an update to physician order or careplan and the information automatically update the other applications.

Pros

The nurses note flows well and is quick to complete.

Cons

The nurses note does not communicate with any other applications like care plans or physician orders. You have to leave the nurses note to update care plan or enter a new order.

### "Makes things easy"

September 7, 2019

5.0

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

Cerner Cerner can be very detailed and specific

December 18, 2018

4.0

Able to see a lot of patients once learned and have a easy and flowing clinic.

Pros

Easy to use once learned, quick functionality, templates are available for ease of use.

### "There when you need it"

July 26, 2019

4.0

I work with this on a daily basis and it is a godsend, I pull records on a daily basis filing appeals and what not. I could not be any happier with the software, it is rarely down and when it is, It has been fixed rather quickly.

Pros

I like the ability to look for records by "doctor" it makes it so much easier and fast to get the records you need without searching the entire account and visits.

Cons

I really have too many bad things to say about the software system, it has always been there for me when I need it, I have yet to run into any problems when finding records. Finding older records can sometime be a little tricky but again it works great for me.

### "PowerChart: A robust EMR system, but not easy to learn"

April 13, 2019

4.0

Pros

The software is customization to some extent. It can help to ensure that clinical staff are filling in all required documentation, which is nice from a coding and charging perspective. It makes sure that all the required sections are filled in that are needing to bill something.

Cons

It is not an easy program to learn. It also can take a significant amount of time to chart things if your staff is used to being able to write their own notes.

### "Not user friendly for staff"

December 22, 2022

2.0

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

Pros

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

Cons

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?

### "PowerChart Review"

April 12, 2019

4.0

Pros

I like that PowerChart is easy to navigate and customize depending on the user. The customer support is always a phone call away if you need them. You are able to be efficient in your work if you know where things are located.

Cons

I dislike that sometimes errors can pop up on the screen when they aren't supposed to and at my institution, the application can crash frequently. I also believe that the application could be updated and the look of the application looks a bit outdated. It is an otherwise good app.

### "Not a fan"

August 8, 2019

3.0

Pros

This software is functional but time consuming to get the hang of.

Cons

This software takes forever to learn and even after having used it for a year and a half I still think, where did I chart that one tiny detail that one time? It's just not as intuitive as other software I've used. In others I felt like it prompted me to fill out and chart on a patient using a checklist. This one you just have to hope you remembered you charted everything and am commonly triple checking before leaving for the day.

### "Cerner as EMR"

June 8, 2019

4.0

Overall, it is a pretty intuitive EMR. It was easy to adapt to. It covers all the important aspects an EMR should have.

Pros

I like the note templates it provides, and that it allows you to create your own personal templates and smart phrases. The medication reconciliation feature is also helpful especially for admissions.

Cons

I wish some features were easier to use including patient assessments and I's and O's.
