Cerner PowerChart Ambulatory EHR

Excellent

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

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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

Comments: 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.

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

Comments: 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.

Pros:

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

Cons:

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

Less complicated

Comments: I will rate this software as 5 out of 10.

Pros:

This software is very basic for charting/documenting clients information.

Cons:

This software does not have many features while charting/documenting.

Cerner review

Pros:

Cerner is very user friendly when starting off with using EMR for the first time. Less complicated as compared to other EMRs.

Cons:

No cons about cerner so far. Needs better integration like Epic for care everywhere and getting records at a single place.
