Funny, I'd rather have Epic.

Actually, I'd love a EMR that took the best of both worlds and combined them.

Well, if it drives you to drink I recommend using the top shelf stuff...

In my humble, non-biased opinion, I think Cerner is the biggest pile of charting poo that has ever hit electronic health records. I would much rather go back to hard copy charting than use that junk.

Context: I'm a travel nurse. I've been all over the country and used a few charting systems. My primary experience has been using Epic. It's called Epic for a reason. I wouldn't mind never seeing Cerner again.

On the flip side, I'll do my job no matter the software but that doesn't mean I can't grumble a little ;)
