Ratings and reviews

Absolute garbage. Crashes, buggy, doesn't load, freezes. Absolute trash. On the off chance that it DOES work (which is probably once in every 50 uses) it hijacks any Bluetooth device that your phone is connected to and turns on the phone app and just starts dialing numbers. Cerner is garbage, powerchart is garbage. My computer has had malware and viruses that offer more beneficence than this app

Works if you just want to check your schedule. Thats about it. I can't order meds or do much of anything else on it. As soon as you open it the dragon dictation takes over your phone and makes it think you are on a phone call. Any blue-tooth connection gets overridden and you have to restart your phone to get any access back to it. Would rather not have dragon access built in or at least add an option to turn it off.

This app is great opportunity to facilitate and improve patient care. Unfortunately, it is so glitchy and poorly done that they have missed the mark completely. It crashes constantly and as of 2 days ago, the app will not even open. I am extremely disappointed with this. Developers, please read these comments and take the time to fix the technical issues.
