Pros

Going with such a brand has a lot of expectations, the only good thing that I like is progress notes, otherwise worst experience ever!

Cons

It is not a user friendly system. Support is a “Nightmare”, they should resolve the problem rather than blaming the practice. E-prescribing is the worst!

General comments

Cannot fulfill the expectations, not upto the mark.

Pros

System is easy to use as anyone can use this for the excellent patient care, we are using in large hospital where over 10,000 physicians are using this software. I believe it is the one stop shop for the medical purpose.

Pros

Cerner emr copy paste feature really save a lot of time to repeat same reporting thing in different sections. And their nursing handoff section is very nice innovation for the nursing department.

Cons

The charting field is very difficult to use. It does not go as the system’s other features connect each other. Big challenge is there are different sections for IVs which caused a lot of things get missed.

Pros

We have use couple of emr vendors before Cerner. All of them were bit tricky and difficult to use. But Cerner EMR is very user-friendly and easy to use.

Cons

There are some feature for which you have to struggle like searching for a particular date for patient appointment is difficult to find. If it could be easy, it would be the best they can do.
