Cerner PowerChart - Libb

Anyone worked on this before? I'm having a terrible time setting up "quick words" that I've easily done in the past using Word. There is so much garbage on my screen--info I don't need at all to do my job. The font is so small I can't read it. No medical spellchecker at all! My "training" was a joke--I don't think the trainer had a clue about what a tnanscriptionist needs. I was told it was designed for the doctor to fill in the templates! Just venting, I guess. Help!

We use Cerner where I work and every software application of theirs is junk. There's not even an "undo" button in our word processing app, so if you accidentally delete something, you're screwed. We can't adjust the fonts either.

Thanks for the validation, Rosie! The rest of the office has been using this program for several months, but they've left me happily alone with the old system, probably because I'm part-time, but now they are insisting I use it, too. I'm ready to quit over this piece of junk, as you say!

I have started working on Cerner Classic and am -- after having worked for many years on other programs -- finding it both incredibly difficult and frustrating. The most prevalent error message I am getting is "Editing not allowed," and I need to know how to cancel/get out of that without having to ditch the report and starting it all over again. Thanks. ...

Just recently started a new job for a local hospital that uses Cerner. I am finding it clumsy, hard to use, and time consuming, thus not optimizing my line count. I am paid by the line, not per hour. Anybody have experience using Cerner as opposed to other programs used by MTSOs? Thanks. ...

Does anyone type in Cerner using the Cerner transcription platform? How did you get around the auto correct issue or speedtype, as nothing holds in the auto correct application. Would appreciate any ideas on this matter. Hard to type without some kind of short cut application. ...

When we are in a report that requires a blank, and the report is corrected/changed by another MT in Cerner Radnet, is the line count from that report given to the MT who corrects/changes the report? In radiology, the long reports are the ones which tend to require some investigation or confirmation by physician, and of course, the long reports give us the lines. Is it true that we are essentially handing our lines to the MT fortunate enough to find our job in their queue for minor co ...

I always thought Cerner was a high-tech big deal. After working on their platform, I think it's crap. You'd think as much money as a huge company like that has and makes, that they could come up with something better. I don't have experience on a ton of platforms, but I do have experience on Bayscribe, ExText and ExEditor. All of them are way better than Cerner; more tailored toward the transcriptionist.Like in ExEditor, you finish one report and when you se ...

There are probably only a few people who have used this system. Hopefully, they come onto this board and have used IT with Cerner/RDE (black screen). When I maximize my RDE screen (black), the font is perfect. However, when I attach my word expander (Instant Text) to it, the screen minimizes and the font goes from perfect to just barely visible. Anyone out there using Cerner RDE and IT together who can help me? Thank you, comrades :) ...
