Maury Regional Health Selects Cerner’s Integrated Health IT System
March 22 2017 - 4:05PM
Maury Regional Health has selected Cerner, a global leader in
health care technology, to implement an enterprisewide electronic
health record (EHR) system across its three hospitals and more than
25 outpatient facilities. The Cerner system will displace MEDITECH®
in the hospital setting and NextGen® Healthcare in the ambulatory
facilities.
This year, the health system’s 255-bed Maury
Regional Medical Center, the largest medical center between
Nashville and Huntsville, was ranked No. 1 in Tennessee by
CareChex® for overall hospital care in the area of medical
excellence.
“Cerner will provide our organization with enhanced
capabilities that will be beneficial for providers and patients,”
said Maury Regional Health CEO Alan Watson. “We are excited to
unveil Cerner’s integrated health IT platform that will support our
care teams across the continuum and unleash the potential of
sophisticated functionality.”
The Cerner Millennium® EHR and integrated revenue
cycle management solutions combine clinical and financial
information within a single platform. This results in a Clinically
Driven Revenue Cycle™ designed to help clinicians and staff update
the billing process throughout the patient’s visit, enhance
clinical documentation to help improve reimbursement and limit
claims errors.
The agreement also includes Cerner Transaction
Services, a suite of core services that helps reduce traditional
bolt-on solutions. The services provide recommended practice
workflows across Cerner revenue cycle management solutions to
prevent redundant tasks and manage manual intervention. Through its
remote-hosting offering, Cerner will manage and support Maury
Regional’s EHR and deliver clinical data from its Kansas City-based
data center.
“Maury Regional is in a highly competitive and
consolidating health care market, and we are proud to provide a
robust platform that will support the organization as its
leadership works toward continued accomplishments, independence and
market strength,” said Cerner President Zane Burke. “Together,
we’ll establish more connected health system that places the person
at the center of the care journey.”
