Using Cerner Mobile Apps

Summary

● After the desired apps have been downloaded, open one of the apps and enter an access code.

Once the access code has been entered for one app, any other apps will be active for use as well.

● The apps will lock after being idle for a period of time. Users can set a PIN for all the apps that can

be used instead of entering the username and password.

PowerChart Touch

● PC Touch is a mobile version of the patient chart. Clinicians can review patient results and

documents, create and sign dyn doc notes, and manage single orders.

The patient chart can be selected from a clinic

schedule, an existing COMPASS patient list, or by a

patient search. After selecting a patient, users will

establish a relationship if one does not already exist.

The patient chart opens to the Review page. This

page is a mobile version of Provider View. Clinicians

can review documents, view vital signs, lab results,

imaging reports and other clinical data. Like Provider

View, clinicians can also create the HPI, Review of

Systems, Physical Exam, and Assessment/Plan to

include in a DynDoc note.

NOTE: Clinicians using an Apple device will

be able to dictate in text fields using

Nuance/Dragon

For vital signs and labs, the most recent results are

displayed on the main page. Items with a caret on the

right have additional information that can be viewed

by clicking on the row.

Clicking on the bar graph for I&O will show detailed

information

A problem or diagnosis can be added from the app,

but will be created as Patient Stated and would need

to be modified from the desktop. It is recommended

to only view problems and diagnoses from the app.

Click the menu icon to switch to other pages,

update/set pin, or log out.

Active and Inactive orders can be viewed on the

Orders page. Click the plus sign to add single orders.

The inbox will change colors and display a count of

orders to be signed.

Click on an order to view order information and to

cancel/discontinue an order.

Notes can be created from the Documents page using

DynDoc templates.

NOTE: Some highly customized templates

will not function fully on the mobile app.

These notes can be started in the app, saved,

and then completed and signed on the

desktop.

NOTE: Clinicians using Apple devices will

have access to Nuance/Dragon and their

existing macros/templates. Android users

can use the system microphone to dictate, but

will not have macros or templates.
