VA switching to Cerner?

Hello,

I was reading somewhere that Cerner has won the DOD contract over Epic? Is this true? If so I wonder why they picked Cerner over Epic.

    No clue but I have used Cerner and loved it at one place, not so much the other place. I'm not real computer savvy but it seems the things I felt were efficient had more to do with the templates created by the particular hospital system. Good luck and I'm sure like anything it will have pros and cons. Plus anything has to be better than the two pronged system I remember using at the VA, one operating system was actually DOS!

    I am a very slow learner with computer and charting stuff but Cerner seems the most user-friendly to me. :)

    Interesting. Good to hear. I use Epic at my current place of employment and I love it.

    You mean VISTa, which still is? ;)

    I swear I can hear gerbils in there, running furiously to make the wheel turn that chisels the script....

    My nursing school bought a license where we used the VA EMR for simulation purposes. I personally did not like it but that was after we had access to Epic first. I am really glad they are finally switching it to something else. I've talked to people at the VA who love the VA's system but that's all they have ever used. I think if they saw something like Epic they would change their minds relatively quickly.
