"I was at work when he told me. It was earth shattering; I had to leave work. We had to go home and prepare ourselves mentally, physically and spiritually for what was coming."

"The way PowerChart is structured and the way the PowerForm is laid out, it leads to more complete and thorough documentation. It also prompts the nurses — leading them to assess the area, the environment and the residents themselves. By doing so, we could uncover problem areas and eliminate them, which led to a reduction in our falls."

"Initially we had a hard time encouraging them. You can easily grab formula at the store. Mothers think, ‘Why have all the pain from breastfeeding?’ That’s why we are educating and re-educating mothers."

"Anytime you can reduce human intervention, you can reduce error rates. Autoverification helps them to be more productive while reducing their risk for errors."

"This [bar code medication administration] ensures inappropriate treatments do not reach a patient. I’ve also seen instances in which utilizing bedside scanning of all medications, RNs are able to provide proof of medication administration, exact times and a chain of custody of labs when questions arise."

"Cerner and Truman working together is putting this great technology at the bedside with the nurse and provider while transforming health care. Before Connect, we were using five different devices, and now it’s our best bet."

"I’ve been amazed to see our most technologically challenged nurses embrace the phones. It’s a win all around."

"Every minute you save reducing redundant questions in the admissions process gives time back to all our clinicians to directly care for their patients."

"Through our work with Cerner every day and through optimization efforts that really focus on patient care, we do see that our patients get better. Having a fully functioning EHR and clear, robust and accurate data, we’ve got the ability to really understand how we deliver care and give the best care to our patients."

"Using the predictive intelligence of Cerner Clairvia, we’re able to see information from our admissions, discharges and transfers to drive our staffing decisions. It makes staffing information transparent so we’re able to address any concerns in near real-time."

"I am extremely pleased with how PowerChart ECG improved the operations of the cardiology department. It helped eliminate value-less processes, accelerated ECG processing and improved visibility of ECG clinical data across our organization."

"I think in the future what we’re going to see is people beginning to adopt new workflows and new tools, because there’s value to providers. It provides value to their patients, staff, or to them. As soon as you can do that, I think everybody’s going to be a lot happier in their work, and that’s why I go to work every day."

"Now the same staff is checking all records for discharge summaries whether dictated or created via Cerner. They’re performing quality checks and follow up functions."

"I can quickly assess why the patient came, what happened to them during the hospitalization, what they were diagnosed with, and then the discharge medications and the plan of action upon discharge."

"The fact that we made it easy for folks to see the list of high-risk patients early in the morning is really important to planning the day. If you know someone is a high-risk patient, we’re more likely to be encouraging to the patient that perhaps a skilled facility for the short-term may be the best discharge plan until they get stronger."
