"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 ...

"More work"

"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 ...
