Cerner Millenium
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Cerner Millenium for our EHR application. We are a research facility, and we use it as our medical record. It captures demographics, vitals, progress notes,labs, ekgs, consent forms and advance directives.
It is how we share information with clinicians within the facility and outside the facility. It has replaced our paper medical record.
Pros
- Capturing demographic information
- Ability to scan outside documents into the system
- The ease in viewing the documentation
Cons
- An incomplete note is visible to all users, even if it is not signed.
- Not all upgrades are tested properly before it goes live, causing the system to be unavailable to the clinicians.
- Cumbersome at times to complete a task
Return on Investment
- There is no reimbursement for a research facility, so there is no ROI
