242 Cerner Testimonials

"I think having the right people on the Cerner side led us to be more successful. Having the right clinical skills, understandings and technical skills is key."

"One thing clinicians want is timely data. Before the sepsis agent, we couldn’t measure data concurrently at all. We’d have to wait until the patient left and coding was done, and we knew we were missing some of those codes."

"It’s a struggle to make a business case for taking an employee out of their job and away from the bedside. We knew we had to leverage technology and deliver education in a more efficient way."

"Camera Capture is an excellent tool. The real-time imaging into the EHR greatly assists in communicating the need to escalate patient care."

"Staffing is such an important part of the day-to-day functioning of the units, and to have the support of the central staffing office is beneficial. The staffing office knows the resources available throughout the organization."

"It's proved to be a cost-effective way to manage schedules by relieving nurse managers of the time-consuming task of producing their own schedules. It also provides a valuable tool for administrative managers to manage the complexities of patient throughput, allowing us to make adjustments in our daily staffing levels throughout the day to best meet the needs of our patients."

"The staffing office tracks my ill and absent calls and provides monthly reports. The staffing office keeps track of low volume numbers, so if we have to put someone on call, we know whose turn it is."

"The standardized process, consistent language and data produced by the staffing office are valuable in making decisions. The consistency gives confidence to our leaders they are making fair decisions, based upon accurate data."

"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."

"It's a real numbers game for us. A large health care facility can make a mistake and recover from it quickly. It's difficult for us to recover from a financial error."

"You get to work with Cerner associates who know the solution, know the Cerner patient accounting solution, know the coding solution and they're able to meet very specific metrics to allow your organization to run efficiently."

"One of the main reasons we made this change was to handle the challenge of having multiple encounters, and also the challenge of our staff placing orders and dropping charges on the wrong encounters."

"Creating fewer patient statements is a big satisfaction. They're not getting a statement from a hospital encounter and one from a clinic encounter."

"The time savings improves the quality of our employees' day-to-day experience, as well as improving patients' experience, since they receive follow-ups and results quicker."

"That was an important event for us. We've been electronic for over a decade, so going back to paper for an extended period was difficult. With our RHO transition, there was a lot of preparation required for about a 12-hour window of planned downtime. It went remarkably smoothly because everyone was prepared."
