Cancer treatment is a multifaceted and lengthy process, from diagnosis through remission and beyond. Treatment to manage cancer is challenging. It requires support for a complex workflow that includes providers involved in the prevention, detection, treatment, study of and reporting of cancer across acute care and ambulatory venues. Much of the workflow today is paper-based or a mix of disparate systems which makes managing medical oncology one of the more complicated medical specialties.

Cerner's PowerChart Oncology™ is specifically designed to address the complexities of cancer care by supporting the workflow of medical oncology clinicians. PowerChart Oncology is built on the unified Cerner Millennium® architecture and core solutions for physician, pharmacy and nursing workflow. PowerChart Oncology puts the patient at the center of the oncology continuum of care, providing access to an electronic medical record (EMR) that works in both the ambulatory and acute care settings. Providers can view the complete EMR, providing a Single Source of Truth™ with access to prior ambulatory visits, acute care encounters, test results, images, medications and other clinical data at their fingertips.

PowerChart Oncology is a core component of Cerner's broad oncology strategy that includes integration of radiation therapy data, clinical trials management, registry reporting, image management and genomics as well as partnerships with premier content providers.
