### "Cerner woes "

### "Easy to use EMR"

July 29, 2019

5.0

Pros

This EMR is easy to use and easy to find things on. I would say that the system is not overly complicated when it comes to inputting and saving information. I have not had any system shutdowns or pauses while using it either.

Cons

Orders aren't labeled with different indications for medications as it is on Epic (from what I have heard). It would make orders easier and also help with less errors.

### "Powerchart is valuable to have because many different healthcare entities use this software."

January 24, 2018

4.0

Pros

It is easy to access and locate lab results. I like that you can see the results of certain diagnostic tests, as well as other tests even if they were not ordered by your physician.

Cons

It is easy to choose the incorrect encounter for a patient to make it hard to locate results. The software is not self-explanatory.

### "Cerner is by far the easiest, most user friendly EMR available. "

January 29, 2018

5.0

Pros

The maintenance on the software is minimal. It's stable and Cerner helps maintain a lot of it. We use all of the applications available and have been so pleased.

Cons

It's a whole system, so downtime includes taking everything down. You can't do it piece by piece. This causes downtime for the entire organization.

### "It keeps work running smoothly by allowing quick communication between the nurses and pharmacy team."

September 1, 2017

5.0

Pros

It allows easy communication between different departments, it had a very organized layout, and is user friendly.

Cons

After it updates, it tends to slow it down a bit but that's to be expected. It picks up its pace not longer after though but it's still a struggle during that time; especially if we are busy.

### "Functional"

July 24, 2018

4.0

Pros

I was happy with the training we received as users. The Cerner educators were very friendly and knowledgeable about the products.

Cons

The thing I most disliked was the seemingly ever updating changes that we endured. It seemed as if the program was always being updated, requiring more training.

### "Simple but click intensive "

June 12, 2019

4.0

Pros

Simple enough to use. This program changed my job tremendously. By far the simplest EMR system I've used in my career.

Cons

The program is very click intensive. It generally takes 3 or 4 extra clicks to accomplish simple tasks. Such as, open one box, click to open another box within the first box, then open a charging option, then chart, click to save and then refresh to score the data in patients chart.

3.0

Pros

Reports are already built out and fairly easy to use.

### "Cerner is easy to navigate in. It also looks up to date. Not extremely customization but has everything"

November 7, 2017

4.0

Pros

It is easy to use. I love the look of Cerner a software over other vendors. Pretty fast system to learn.

Cons

I dislike the reporting options. I feel the reports run slowly but this could be due to connectivity and report size.

December 30, 2018

Ease of learning Relatively intuitive Integration with voice dictation Straightforward

### "Cerner Feedback"

June 10, 2019

3.0

Pros

I liked that information carried over from Master Treatment Plans and intakes.

Cons

I didn't like that when a new encounter was created because they stepped down to IOP level of care, that everything in their chart got erased and needed to start over.

### "PowerChart"

April 26, 2019

5.0

Pros

This is my favorite application for hospital use, I wish that my current job had it because it is so user friendly. It was really easy to navigate and for other departments to see exactly what was going on, not just our department.

Cons

The only thing I didn't like is that it would time out if you didn't use it fast enough. But that was just a slight irritation.

### "A cumbersome, poorly designed EMR "

November 30, 2016

2.0

The software is poorly designed, difficult to navigate, and generally feels like it was designed by engineers who have never worked in a health care setting. The software is not intuitive to use, creates extra steps to execute simple orders, and is filled with programming glitches that can't seem to be fixed by their "extensive" support staff. I found many of the MD support staff to not even understand or be able to navigate the program because they use Epic in their daily practice. Overall the software feels dated. The design team should spend some time using Apple products to learn about ease of use.

Pros

The support staff is kind, but often not helpful.

Cons

The software is difficult to use. It is not intuitive. Simple commands require multiple steps to execute. You are required to manually "refresh" to send orders, even after signing. It has created more work for the doctors at my institution, taking simple tasks that previously could be performed by support staff and making them an additional responsibility of the MD.

### "Not exactly a great program"

February 9, 2017

2.0

Been using Cerner's Power chart now for over 6 years. Antiquated interface and overall very poorly designed UX. Nearly impossible to customize effectively and I would definitely advocate not purchasing this for either the inpatient or outpatient setting.

Pros

comprehensive

Cons

Extraordinarily bad UX

### "Powerchart LTC"

July 28, 2016

4.0

We are a LTC that is owned by a Health System and the entire Health System went live with Cerner all at the same time. It was a very interesting and intense transition. Overall, for LTC the whole experience was a good one.

Pros

I think the biggest pro is the MAR - our nurses love it.

### "Nicely Designed EMR"

March 9, 2019

4.0

Pros

I really like the adaptability with this software. The seemless interface with the dragon dictation device really speeds up charting. I’ve noticed a significant decrease in my charting time when compared to previous EMRs I’ve used.

Cons

The pages are visually very busy which can be distracting and overwhelming at times.

### "Easy to navigate"

December 5, 2018

4.0

Pretty good overall

Pros

Layout makes it easy to find what chart components you are looking for

Cons

You can really customize much. It would be useful if we had some ability to filter columns on screen views.

### "Cerner Ambulatory EHR"

November 21, 2018

3.0

Overall, once the system is learned it have many good and useful features. Allowing for ease of detailed medical knowledge.

Pros

The most appealing aspect to cerner is the data collection. It allows for complete detailed patient history.

Cons

Can be difficult to navigate through the system. It can be challenging to teach new users.

### "I utilize PowerChart daily to organize my workflow. "

April 26, 2018

4.0

Pros

PowerChart creates a centralized hub for patient information. I am able to see appointments and send messages regarding patients to other departments.

Cons

When looking up patient information I often have to set my date back further to see even recent notes that have been uploaded.

### "Getting Used To"

August 15, 2019

4.0

Pros

I recently started a new job that uses PowerChart. I had previously used EpicCare. There is definitely some getting used to, so take my review with a grain of salt. Like every new thing, there is some mental shifting from what one is used to to a new thing. This is easy to use. My coworkers seem to like this software. It is straight and to the point.

Cons

I really liked how customizable and attractive Epic was. I would appreciate if this software had more colorful themes and was more customizable to me. I have to look at this for 12+ hours a day, so appearance is a big thing for me.

### "Works well but Epic is easier"

April 10, 2021

3.0

Overall it's a good competitor to Epic but lacks simplicity

Pros

Majority of the hospitals I work with use Cerner so a lot of exposure and users around to troubleshoot.

Cons

Too many clicks and alot going on within the system that can be distracting and half the time you are searching for things
