Cerner and American Well to Embed Telehealth Capabilities into Cerner EHR
November 14 2016 - 4:05PM
Cerner, a global leader in health care technology, today announced
a telehealth agreement with American Well, a leading national
telehealth company. Together, the companies will deliver a virtual
health care experience that will integrate the American Well
platform with Cerner’s electronic health record (EHR). The
integration will enable providers to manage the health and care of
patients beyond the walls of the health system. “Cerner and
American Well share the belief that all aspects of health care
delivery should be unified, continuous and patient-centered.
Together, we’re committed to developing a long-term strategy to
align American Well’s telehealth technologies, services and
programs to deliver an enhanced user experience within the Cerner
EHR and ecosystem,” said Don Bisbee, senior vice president at
Cerner.
“Our alliance with Cerner and deep integration between the
electronic health record and telehealth visit is one of the
industry’s first. We look forward to a long-term, collaborative
relationship of deploying advanced telehealth solutions that add
greater value for our joint health system clients along with their
patients and providers,” said Dr. Ido Schoenberg, chairman and CEO
of American Well.
The integrated EHR-telehealth solution will be available to
current and future Cerner and American Well clients. Patients will
interact with the solution through Cerner’s HealtheLifeSM patient
engagement portal, which is designed to provide access to health
information, provider messaging and broad interaction with care
teams.
American Well will exhibit at the annual Cerner Health
Conference, taking place Nov. 14-17, in Kansas City. Cerner clients
can meet with American Well team members at Booth 236 to learn
more.
