We work like you work
In creating PowerWorks EMR, Cerner studied how clinicians like you work and structured the solution to help you practice more efficiently. With our solution, you can access complete clinical and administrative information with a minimal number of clicks. In fact, physicians who use our solution have seen the time they spend on paperwork drop by as much as two hours per day. Our solution will help you gain a more complete picture of a patient’s needs, information that helps ensure the best clinical outcome. We’ve designed the following features to help you work more efficiently:

• Since Last Time offers a concise picture of what’s new with a patient since their last visit.
• This Visit gives a quick summary of why the patient is in your office.
• Sticky Notes incorporates personal patientinformation in the chart.
• Key Notifications triages results and orders by what is critical, abnormal and due.

A Consistent Look and Feel
In your practice, you’ll find PowerWorks EMR intuitive and easy to use. If you use Cerner solutions in the hospital, you won’t need to learn a whole new system. Our solutions have similar approaches to common tasks, a consistent look and feel that makes your life easier as you move from home, to office, to hospital.

Data when and where you need it
We’ve built PowerWorks EMR on our unified Cerner Millennium® 2007 architecture. Our industry leading computing platform aggregates clinical and financial information from a variety of sources, including the hospital, lab and pharmacy.With Cerner Millennium, you organize the data around the patient, not the encounter. Using this unique approach, clinicians access the most up-to-date information when and where they need it—information they can use to make the most informed decisions possible. Our architecture benefits from a cumulative research and development investment exceeding $1.3 billion, and Cerner plans an additional $1 billion over the next several years.

A Solid Investment
An independent, nonprofit organization, the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology (CCHIT), has certified PowerChart®, the foundation for PowerWorks EMR. Cerner’s EMR was among the first in the industry to pass CCHIT’s comprehensive tests of functionality, interoperability and security. By looking to CCHIT-certified products, you can be sure you’re making a solid investment.
