Cerner Reviews in May 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

"Cerner tries to simplify things, but it doesn't"

What do you like best about Cerner? I like how notes are easily sorted between physician and others. What do you dislike about Cerner? I dislike all the clicks, that are supposed to make typing a note easy, but it ends up just being a lot of clicks. I find the macros tedious as well. I wish free texting was a little easier. Writing orders for normal saline is much more difficult than it should be. Recommendations to others considering Cerner: Make templates because clicking forever is ...

"Manageable EMR"

What do you like best about Cerner? This EMR is relatively easy to use with a nice interface (after a big learning curve!) What do you dislike about Cerner? It can be very difficult to place orders. The search function could be improved. What problems is Cerner solving and how is that benefiting you? Allows me to manage patients in the ER as well as to access their previous records.

"Overall a great EHR System"

What do you like best about Cerner? Decision support and reporting surpasses other EHRs. It's also very customizable, unlike other EHRs. What do you dislike about Cerner? Too many icons on the toolbar; often have to search for icons. There are also too many ways to do the same thing in the system. Also, the requirement to refresh after doing everything is an extra click and takes unnecessary time. Recommendations to others considering Cerner: Do not skimp on education and go-live support ...

"EMR/EHR software from Cerner Corp."

What do you like best about Cerner? Clinical Data such as vitals etc are presented in easily identifiable sections. Its fairly flexible and and once accustomed to it is relatively efficient when used. The learning period involved can be lengthy to achieve full proficiency. At least all health records are in one easily accessed place. What do you dislike about Cerner? Fairly cumbersome. Multiple clicks to find a certain end outcome, also when some function is unfamiliar to the user its not ...

"Must have not been designed by MDs"

What do you like best about Cerner? There's not much to like about cerner except that perhaps it works. What do you dislike about Cerner? It's slow, cumbersome, and clearly wasn't designed by MDs. The worst is how impossible it is to search for cases using key words for retrospective research purposes. In our version, i cant even use ctrl z to undo a change in the text, which can be horrific when an entire report is accidentally written over. I also hate that when the system times me out or ...

"Daily EHR user"

It's not user friendly and explaining to others hope to change things can be frustrating. What problems is Cerner solving and how is that benefiting you? Connecting physicians with direct care staff

"Cerner Review"

What do you like best about Cerner? I like the ease of the applications bar to get information entered into our data system quickly. What do you dislike about Cerner? I dislike that the applications from the app bar where updated awhile back and it is hard to find which application to use if you don't know the exact picture or name. Also cerner's helpdesk call line hasn't been the quickest or most knowledgeable about cerner issues when I have called in the past. Furthermore, I dislike how ...

"More work"

What do you like best about Cerner? I like that it is an organized platform. What do you dislike about Cerner? I dislike that compared to other electronic health charting databases, there's more work attributed for staff who already have a great workload. Five clicks to complete a task in Cerner is the equivalent to complete a task in something, such as Epic. I also dislike that it's very slow to start up, as well as during use. The entire program just seems like it needs to be from another ...

"It’s no EPIC... but has some benefits. "

What do you like best about Cerner? For the type of patients I have to document about, Cerner works well. It also seems very “new-user” friendly to me, as I quickly learned how to document with this software. What do you dislike about Cerner? Its not customizeable. I feel varying fonts/colors would help make certain things stand out to make documentation easier. Also, tasks do not fall off your “task list” even after they have been documented. So sometimes you have to double document ...
