Olathe Health System Broadens Use of Cerner Digital Health Record
October 13 2016 - 4:05PM
Olathe Health System today announced an expansion of its
relationship with Cerner, its health IT supplier. Cerner will
integrate its Millennium Revenue Cycle™ with the existing
enterprisewide electronic health record (EHR), which will result in
a Clinically Driven Revenue Cycle™ designed to help streamline
revenue cycle processes and enable a more efficient billing
experience for patients.
“The potential patient benefits and outcomes are truly what
drive our business actions, including this decision to expand our
health IT system,” said Randy Rahman, vice president and CIO of
Olathe Health System. “Our goal is to bring our organization onto
one platform to work toward becoming one of the most integrated and
progressive health care providers in the region. We understand the
value that Cerner’s systemwide integration can provide to Olathe as
we strive to develop the best patient experience and satisfaction
possible.”
As Olathe Health System expands services on its campus,
including the building of a new cancer center, it will implement a
suite of Cerner oncology solutions designed to provide care teams
with the necessary tools to manage complex medication orders.
Olathe Health System will also implement RxStation®, Cerner’s
automated medication dispensing device.
“The significant expansion of our campus is an execution of our
commitment to establish Olathe Health System as one of the top care
providers in the Midwest, and we are proud to have Cerner at our
side as we work to reach these goals. We are committed to
developing a highly integrated system that provides up-to-date
patient data and streamlined processes, enabling our clinicians to
focus more time on delivering the highest quality care possible to
our patients,” said Tierney Grasser, senior vice president of
Finance and CFO of Olathe Health System.
The advanced integration between Cerner’s clinical and financial
solutions enables streamlined coordination of care across inpatient
and outpatient facilities, as well as independent physician
practices. It also is designed to enhance the patient billing
experience by enabling data to flow through the system in near
real-time.
“We have had a strong relationship with Olathe Health System for
more than 15 years, and we are proud to expand our presence with
this local institution,” said Jeff Hurst, senior vice president,
Cerner Revenue Cycle Management and president of Cerner RevWorks.
“This extended relationship will help position Olathe Health System
as a care leader now and into the future.”
