PowerChart Touch

PowerChart Touch allows a provider to complete ambulatory & inpatient workflows

PowerChart Touch is a powerful Chrome extension designed to streamline clinical workflows for healthcare providers. It allows seamless management of both ambulatory and inpatient tasks, including accessing patient schedules, charts, demographics, and clinical results. Providers can easily review, create, and sign notes, manage medication orders with safety checks, and place orders directly from the app.

The extension supports functionalities such as physician handoffs, taking patient photos, dictation with Nuance voice recognition, and secure video visits with scheduled patients. It offers electronic prescribing with formulary support and safeguards like drug-drug and drug-allergy checking. PowerChart Touch provides secure EHR access outside of facility walls, enhancing provider flexibility. Note that a valid organizational license and Cerner release 2015.01 or higher are required.

User reviews

Users find PowerChart Touch offers basic access to patient schedules and simple order placements, helpful in urgent scenarios. However, the app suffers from frequent crashes, login problems, and poor stability, particularly after Android OS updates. The UI is subpar and some users dislike mandatory permissions for features they don't use. Voice dictation is glitchy, sometimes hijacking phone calls and Bluetooth connections, which frustrates many. Overall, while it has some utility for quick tasks, the app is unstable and lacks polish.

Cons

  • Persistent login and authentication issues with the app
  • Poor user interface and glitchy performance overall
  • Excessive permission requests that feel unnecessary for basic functions
  • Voice dictation often malfunctions and takes over phone calls and Bluetooth devices without control

Does the job in a pinch. Can put orders, review notes and labs, and easy to dictate short notes. Cannot order IV fluids or prescriptions but enough for those overnight calls and pages. The UI is mediocre, and the app ceaHws and randomly has trouble logging in but overall I've come to find this suitable for simple tasks.

As glitchy as I expected. Stuck in a verification authentication loop. After 14 yrs using powerchart at work, I don't know why I expected a good result trying to utilize the app version.
