5 reviewers had the following to say about Cerner PowerChart Ambulatory EHR's pricing:
After just a handful of uses, I felt comfortable with Cerner
Pros
My group switched to Cerner and I find it much easier to navigate than my old system. I find this comparable to EPIC in terms of easy to use and reliability. Everything is nicely organized and very well put together.
Cons
I have nothing negative to say about this other than the cost of the product is not the cheapest
Rating breakdown
Likelihood to recommend: 9/10
Pros
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
Cons
Very clunky and hard to use. Not many other options for EMR vendors. We are moving to Meditech next year

I would recommend to a hospital with an ambulatory clinic as it helps keep information flowing between the two systems in an accurate manner
Pros
All areas are basically the same so using this product for ambulatory as well as hospital and emergency provides ease of use. Many other facilities use this product so that is helpful in sharing of information.
Cons
It is expensive. There were some issues with our build and the billing does not work as well as we had hoped.

Pros
Easy customization and integration with third party tools, amazing customer support. customize macros and auto text feature available in Powerchart
Cons
Enhancements are sometimes time taking and is also very expensive. Since it is very thorough solution, so geting complete knowledge sometimes takes too much time

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!
Pros
Easier to write progress notes.
Cons
What I wrote about e-prescribe.
