    Oracle
    Cerner allows us to access and enter all the information that is needed to take care of the participants. It is not really geared for the research environment. There was a lot of customization that was needed to tailor it to our needs. There is turnover with staff in Cerner and when there were some downtimes Cerner staff did not know who to contact at our facility, eventhough the information was shared with them already.

    The best scenario is a small non-profit clinic who needs a great EMR but cannot afford one like EPIC. I might also recommend this to colleagues who are starting a small business because I think PF would be a good, easy, and more affordable to get up and running. I think this EMR makes less sense in the setting of large academic institutions who need lots of easily manipulable data and a huge amount of support.

    • Document storage- You can upload documents and attach them to specific patients. As well as flag documents that need to be signed, and assign them to specific doctors.
    • Charting- Very detailed integration for charting.
    • Reporting- We really enjoy the reports we can pull from within the software.

    • Have Physician Assistant as a provider status.
    • Make the notes section of each patients account displays towards the top of page and not the bottom.

    Usability
    Oracle
    There are times when it is very useful and yet there are times when it is more cumbersome than it has to be. The day to day operations are user friendly, but when there are upgrades there are times when it does not always work well for a small facility

    In my opinion and experience, they have a lack of customization so you have to constantly create hacks to make their system work for your practice.

    Cerner Millennium is a more established company and we wanted the confidence of a company that will have a very long shelf life. Now since it is part of Oracle Health, that confidence has been reinforced. The support system was greater from Cerner than it was from Evident and the larger staff gave us more reassurance to use it

    NextGen is hard to use as far as medical records. Practice Fusion is user friendly. There is a great knowledge base for questions asked. Practice Fusion takes all the guess work out of the day.
