Once you learn Cerner Powerchart, it is a great software, very user friendly, organized, easy to navigate.
I use this software at work to access patients charts, send messages to other healthcare team members, and to document. Charting is very easy, software flows well. There are lots of shortcuts that make work faster. Pages can be customized to make everyone’s work more efficient and personalized. Search buttons within patients charts are also very useful when learning more about their medical and medication history. This software makes patients’ chart very well organized, easy to find all the necessary information, easy to look up and updated patients’ information such as pharmacy, medications, allergies.
Frequent software updates are often times less useful and more confusing than previous version, takes some time to learn and get used to it. In some cases support team needs to be contacted to reverse or modify new updates for software to be more user friendly. Occasionally there are problems with the serve, errors when logging in, which are addressed by support team in a timely matter.

Everyone could use it to serve the patient the best, from in house staff registering and obtain images of id's or insurance information, to providers to document patient's care and keep reports, to billing departments for insurance verification or printing medical reports. It was a 1 stop shop for medical purposes.
Training was non me, i learned everything on my own. But that could of been a company decision and not a software issue.

I’m a believer of you get what you pay for. However in a world of limited options this could be better for the cost
Very clunky and hard to use. Not many other options for EMR vendors. We are moving to Meditech next year

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

Continuity of care.
THe amount of detail available to input and view. All caregivers use the same system and so that information is visible in the same system. I love seeing when PT has walked my patients and how they did if I can't track done the PT, or how a respiratory treatment has gone. This is so helpful in keeping up to date on how all caregivers are viewing the patient, when a one on one visit is not feasible.
IT takes a while to pick up all the skills needed to use it and adjust to the format, but only because it has so much functionality. So that's natural.
