PowerChart Touch

= functionally useless

Nice app that works with ipad but is incomplete. All labs show up except blood gas and that is what I need as a pulmonary doctor to check on my patients. Will try to use and then if needed call the hospital to get the blood gas number from the nurse! Hopefully this is a minor issue can be fixed soon.

I’ve downloaded this app 10 times. It allows me to review one patient, but if I exit that chart and try to view another, it freezes. I have to close the program and reload it every time I want to move to another patient. This has been happening for a year. I have attempted to contact customer service, but they are worthless.

Not good

… really confused as to why the app launches a Bluetooth phone call when using in your car…? Makes no sense, chews through battery life, and is frustrating when you’re in your car!!!

Why is the micro tab conveniently missing? It needs to be there to make antibiotic decisions moving forward. Also, why is the ability to order things limited? Please add the ability to order fluids. As of now we can only cancel them. At some point in the very near future, please add the ability to order/edit power plans. Also make the app faster overall.

As an infectious diseases consultant this app is essentially useless to me because there is no microbiology section to review cultures and susceptibilities. This app needs to have actual information added in.

Only works for some specialties, no OB or prenatal, won't bring up pdfs, can't pull up lists from care teams. As one IT md said, cerner is "almost good" but never quite gets there.

I don’t see any pitiful at use apart from writing a note. The results cannot be tagged . Microbiology is not available. Discharge meds cannot be placed on this interface. At the end of the day , cannot function as stand alone.

I need to sign-in and sign-in again and again all day long. Then it freezes up completely, and I cannot even re-download it. What a pain ing the neck. When it works, it is helpful to have it open in the patient’s room while I am talking them.
