What is Cerner PowerChart?
Cerner PowerChart® is
the solution that provides rapid access to the most relevant
information, in turn enabling for more efficient decision-making. It is
designed to create a single, integrated, multi-dimensional electronic
patient record (EPR) that accommodates different roles and locations
whenever and wherever it is needed: authorized physicians, nurses,
pharmacists, lab technicians and administrative personnel can all
access one patient record at the same time.
The system is always up to date, therefore
enabling a team to plan, implement, manage, and record the optimum care
program for each patient. Cerner PowerChart® also
enables clinical and administrative information to be found easily and
quickly by offering a simple, intuitive visual interface.
Moreover, the Power Chart clinical data Repository (CDR) is a
longitudinal chart viewing application that provides complete access to
a comprehensive range of information on a “need to know” basis
connecting facilities many miles apart in a variety of settings (GPs,
home and rehabilitation environments).
Cerner PowerChart® works with Cerner Discern®
Knowledge Systems to make sure clinicians always have access to the
breadth of information they need to make informed decisions. This
technology, known as “rule engine”,” constantly monitors electronic
medical records and triggers critical alerts to clinicians when any
updates or worrisome issues arise in a patient’s care. With
pre-programmed rules determined by your health organization, your
clinicians receive knowledge to:
- Reduce error
- Increase efficiency
- Ensure the delivery of high-quality care reflecting organizational or national
standards and best practices
Cerner Discern solutions will help improve care quality by
unifying the most up-to-date information and research when needed the
most at the point of care.
