Oracle Ambulatory EHR

Organized, but repetitive.

Kommentare: Overall it wasn't a hassle and made each day better with it's ease of use. Some days you feel like there's just so much to be done through it and you wish it didn't exist but that's part of what you sign up for in nursing!

Vorteile:

I liked the ease of use and how it allowed for enough tabs for all my patient's charts during any shift. IT allows for most of the required charting to be done just with clicks via the mouse and not too much typing which saves time. It would help generate scores for certain diagnostics which also aids time management.

Nachteile:

A lot of it was repetitive and sometimes the options for a certain part of an assessment didn't quite exactly meet what was assessed. It also times out after a while, which was unfortunate for those days when charting seems to take forever and you leave your desk by a patient or coworker and if not promptly resumed you lose what you were working on, had it not been saved. Makes you really want to get friendly with the save button.

Good ehr softwear

Vorteile:

Pretty basic but has simple features that help with both keeping records safe and easy to schedule appts.

Nachteile:

Sometimes there are too many clicks to do what you have to do.

I would avoid this product

Kommentare: Poor. I expect more from EHR that we pay over $7,000 a month for.

Vorteile:

Easy to use and functionality were very user friendly when we first purchased produce.

Nachteile:

No customer service at all. Takes months for them to respond. They constantly update the software weekly and it changes setting and moves things around make your work flow more cumbersome. When you request for setting to be changed there is always an additional charge or fee associated with it and it takes months to make the changes if at all.

Functional Software that plays an important role in the healthcare field

Kommentare: Overall, i have had a pleasant experience with this software, it is definitely user friendly and provides healthcare workers a variety of tools that make charting much easier. Also, it is extremely easy to find information about a specific patient due to the fact that it has different sections with up to date information about the patient and that takes off a lot of times from reading the physician's documentation, at least on my current job position. I highly recommend this software!

Vorteile:

I work in the healthcare industry and use this tool on a daily basis. The software contains a variety of tools that allow healthcare workers to document patient's visits very easily and it is very user friendly. Moreover, it is an extremely well developed software where you are able to navigate through patient's chart, test results, patient's scheduled visits and many other tools that healthcare providers use to get acquaintance with the personal history of the patient. In regards to my position, the Oncology flowchart provides me with information about the cancer staging, treatment name and dates, BMI and lab results. It is a highly functional tool with multi faceted use.

Nachteile:

In order for the software to function correctly, massive amount of updates need to happen monthly from the IT team in my organization. It can be very glitchy sometimes or freeze when there are large amount of information, for example, the MAR section freezes a lot. But other than that, it is highly functional and well developed software.

Cerner PowerChart Review

Kommentare: Overal Cerner PowerChart satisfies electronic medical record needs well with a few areas of improvement. I am not involved with EMR purchasing decisions but from what I understand, Cerner PowerChart is a good product for the money.

Vorteile:

Cerner PowerChart provides a comprehensive location for all medical information. Information display can be customized to fit user needs and provides quick access to pertinent info with continued use. Home screens are customized for each particular practitioners credentials and needs making many commonly used tasks always right at hand. Accessing information from other visits is also easily performed regardless of which encounter the patient was initially pulled up. One of my favorites is the results callback functionality that allows easy review of discharged patients culture results.

Nachteile:

While Cerner is not difficulty to use, not all features are entirely intuitive. Many functions require repeated use and lots of clicking to access and perform relatively simple tasks. While there is a quick link for Meds Manager access for pharmacists, the link does not pull up the current patient profile opened, necessitating re-entering of the patient encounter number which is a bit tedious. Additionally, the disjunction between FirstNet and PowerChart is inconvenient and would be nice if charts opened through FirstNet opened PowerChart rather than a separate entity of FirstNet given the difference in functionality between the two programs.

Early but a Rocky start so far

Vorteile:

Reports are already built out and fairly easy to use.

Nachteile:

Integration has not been easy but we are a week into "Go Live" . There was training that was never done.

overall of power chart

Vorteile:

power chart could improve more with a newer software with my shortcut and easier finding.

I would always prefer epic

Legacy tool. Useful in small practices.

Nachteile:

Compatibility with 3rd party tool. All round utilization for every clinical functionality

Registered Nurse

Kommentare: Awful

Vorteile:

This is a complicated system which does not have any good features

Nachteile:

It is not user friendly and font size is TINY!

Cerner

Vorteile:

I have always been a Cerner fan. The software and options are amazing.

Nachteile:

I have no complaints about this software at this time.

overall cerner power chart

Kommentare: overall good product with some areas of improvement

Vorteile:

use of books to schedule appts. and registration section easy use

Nachteile:

patient search still makes a lot of errors with searching for a patient. You can easily duplicate.

Rich function, poor user friendly interface

Kommentare: We could deal with physicians' need of a comprehensive computer system to support patient care. Usability issues still remain but it's quite common in modern EHR systems.

Vorteile:

Cerner Ambulatory EHR is one the well known and popularly used EHR systems in the US. It has most of the functions that are needed for outpatient care, computerized order entry system, and data data entry for meaningful use. The consultants from Cerner are hard-working, knowledgable, and deal with issues in a prompt manner.

Nachteile:

Although it is a production system, it used to be so slow and physicians complain about ordering time takes up to 10 seconds. Citrix based desktop is slow. User interface and layout of components in Physician workflow is not intuitive and hard to learn. Overall it results in longer data entry time and takes physicians' time to talk to patients.

Extremely poor value for the money

Kommentare: The user experience is completely not user-friendly, often needing ongoing clarification for what are basic searching or to complete basic routine activities. Amazingly poor UX/UI layout, and often confusing. The customer services has been all along a nightmare. For more than two months initially in March 2016 when we wanted to start this system we were forced to keep calling in prescriptions to pharmacies & writing controlled medicines for 5 days because the system wasn't working -and Cerner telling us they didn't know what was the problem. Later on when we were eventually able to e-prescribe non-controlled substances still we were forced to get a NY State waiver for controlled substances because the company couldn't get it resolved in more than a month longer. Worse, they blamed our IT team here when was clear it wasn't the case. This was more frustrating as this was happening while we're busy seen patients. Support was spotty at best, often the IT people been forced to resolve the problems themselves, or improvise, while the agency I'm working was paying Cerner money. Even now (10/18/2016), the e-prescribe system, that claims it has a renewal option for old medications, it doesn't work for controlled substances (some do, some don't) , so many of us have always to re-write as a new prescription all controlled medicines. I'm a psychiatrist but I've also some formal training in UX/UI design, and to write code, so I'm probably better understanding computers than the usual MD, and even for me the system was an impossible crazy task. I also work with other e-prescribe systems in other agencies, and comparing apples to apples, the other systems are much cheaper and much, much better, and very much easier to use. It's amazing how poor service you can get paying big bucks! And here, this is one glaring example. Buyer beware!

Vorteile:

Easier to write progress notes.

Nachteile:

What I wrote about e-prescribe.

Ok EMR

Kommentare: Cerner allows my organization to chart for patients securely.

Vorteile:

Cerner has uses for every teams dicipline and it certainly does it's job for patients electronic medical chart.

Nachteile:

Cerner's interface is clunky and things seem to be scattered about everywhere. Getting use to utilizing Cerner takes a while, and finding where information is put can take some time.

Good EHR software for hospital documentation

Kommentare: My overall experience with Cener is pleasant. I used a different EHR before Cerner, and most of the staffs at my hospital can agree that Cerner is better.

Vorteile:

My hospital switched to Cerner over a year ago from an old EHR system. At first, it was a little confusing because it was different, but everyone ended up liking Cerner. They had staffs on-site for over a month who provided the staff with useful information. The layout is simplistic and the documentations are easy to find. Cener also has the capability to be linked up with the glucometers so the result will be imported into the system automatically, which we had to enter manually before Cerner

Nachteile:

For the purpose of my job, I don't really have any problems with Cerner. While I do not find it hard to use at all, I had older nurse colleagues who struggled with it initally.

Lacking accessibility and functionality

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

Much better than paper charting; ability for interdisciplinary communication

Nachteile:

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.

Cerner review

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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

Nachteile:

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

LOVE THIS SOFTWARE!!

Vorteile:

Powerchart has made things so much easier for me. It has a very organized and modern layout. It is easy to navigate and easy to learn.

Nachteile:

There was not anything I disliked about this software

Easiest way to find patient information and keep it organized

Kommentare: As someone who speaks with patients on the phone constantly, I find it useful to be able to open multiple Powerchart files at once. This keeps me focused on the task at hand and after a phone call I can return to the previous patient I was working on. All in all this program has been a life saver.

Vorteile:

The amount of information that is able to be found on this software and organized is truly amazing. This program makes it simple to find patient information in seconds and utilizes the ability to open multiple patients at the same time when things get frantic. I really enjoy the layout of the tabs and subsections within them, as they make it easy to find certain aspects of a patients file without digging through everything and wasting time. As long as staff members upload the information and keep it current there are no problems keeping track of a patients medical record and information.

Nachteile:

I dislike that the software is not always intuitive. Some times there is information that I would like to find, but until I am trained on where to find the information in Powerchart I cannot locate it quickly. With that said, I believe there is simply a large learning curve for so much information and it will just take time - not really a fault in the service itself.

365 Medical EMR

Kommentare: Must customizable EMR solution I've had the pleasure of working with. Customer support is just a phone call away and they always answer in 5min or less. Powercharts allows providers to customize macros and auto text in order to streamline their daily workflows. Solutions also provides voice recognition and is compatible with Microsoft and Apple computer. Front desk Sheduling system allows offices to configure call protocols, auto verifies insurances and makes registration paperless. System does seem overwhelming at first, but like everything else if the user is willing to learn and puts their part in customizing their favorites the system simplifies their workday.

Vorteile:

Very customizable to any practice specialty.

Nachteile:

When there are parts of the software that can be improved an enhancement needs to be submitted. These enhancements take a long time to take effect.

Cerner

Vorteile:

I like that it is people friendly. Not hard to use at all

Nachteile:

I have nothing bad to say about Cerner Software

Great EHR with Simplicity

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

Vorteile:

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

Nachteile:

Learning curve is a bit steep, can be slow at times depending on server.

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

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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.

Power chart

Vorteile:

I like the ability to have all patient information for all doctors throughout the system in one location

Nachteile:

What I liked least about Powerchart is that the system runs extremely slow

PowerChart Review

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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.
