This is ridiculous. Why can't someone design a good electronic medical records system. For the past 2 weeks I have been using Cerner and it is poop.

It takes waaay too long to figure out which meds a patient is getting. Why the heck are there 3 different tabs for meds.
This is the $50million dollar EMR the hospital bought (probably includes equipment too)

The main hospital I am usually at has an EMR that was made in 1985.. it is simple, clean and does what I want. Kind of ridiculous that I miss the EMR from 1985.

- Seriously, Mel have you seen Cerner? It seems like a widely used one. It is lame. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 10, 18:11 3
  - I've never seen it. What's the problem? - Mel Profit Jul 10, 18:22 2
    - It is dumb. I seriously couldn't figure out which antibiotic the patient was receiving because different screens showed different things. For whatever - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 10, 18:36 1
      - That definitely sounds poor designed. - Mel Profit Jul 10, 18:46
