Cerner Practice Management Review

Pros

  • Scheduling - I personally enjoy the ease of use with the solution. It also has a great "memory" as to patient rescheduling, no shows, etc. Being able to create multiple schedules to reflect different practitioners is such a major plus in this system.
  • Customization - I am able to create Super-bills, Global Periods, and Insurance Details pertinent to each patient and not have to RECREATE them every time like I had to in past systems.
  • EOB - an added bonus is the ability for the system to check EOB ahead of time. This is a HUGE time saving in an office!

Cons

  • The interface with the EMR. The two are not connected and you have to toggle between the two screens...very frustrating.
  • Sometimes the system can be a tad slow...when running a speed test, it shows our speed is UTD.

Return on Investment

  • PowerWorks Practice Manangement has improved my practice by capturing/checking claims that once might have slipped through the cracks.
  • At first, it can be an adjustment, as with any new system and users that were familiar with other systems.

Cerner Works

Pros

  • Easy to use for all staff members.
  • Layout is easy to understand.

Cons

  • Only seems applicable for small organizations.

Return on Investment

  • I have not seen anything too outstanding.
