3. Powell Valley Healthcare has been testing and evaluating the new EHR over the past year and a half and went live on the new system this past week, according to the Sept. 14 report.
4. The new Cerner EHR will cost Powell Valley Healthcare $357,000 annually, which is slightly more than the $333,000 annual cost of the NextGen system, according to the report.
