Cerner, Adventist Health Create Single Integrated EHR Across Ambulatory, Acute, Post-Acute
January 11 2012 - 8:30AM
Cerner Corporation (Nasdaq:CERN) announced today an expansion of
its affiliation with Adventist Health, a faith-based,
not-for-profit, integrated health care delivery system on the West
Coast. The digitization of care processes now will expand across
more than 130 outpatient clinics—which includes the largest
California network of rural health clinics.
As an early adopter of health care information technology,
Adventist Health started implementing Cerner's electronic health
record (EHR) across all hospital settings in 2001. Adventist
Health home care agencies also implemented Cerner BeyondNow® in
2009. This expanded relationship will complement the hospital EHR
and homecare technology with a roll-out of Cerner Ambulatory EHR
solutions.
Increasing the interoperability between the ambulatory, acute
and post-acute IT platforms will allow Adventist Health to provide
enhanced care coordination as patients move throughout the
integrated health care delivery system. With the inclusion of the
outpatient medical record, clinicians will have instant, secure
access to the complete chart.
"This IT expansion project will enable Adventist Health to
maximize its patient-centric focus by delivering clinical
information systems within a single platform, and thus providing
optimal health care information across the patient's continuum of
care," said Alan Soderblom, vice president and chief information
officer of Adventist Health. "Cerner understands our strategy to
provide clinicians with the best clinical data along with improving
enterprise operational efficiency. Cerner is committed to
helping us achieve these goals."
Cerner is collaborating with Adventist Health on implementing a
number of other solutions that align both companies' long term
goals of digitizing patient care. This includes Cerner's Best in
KLAS Remote Hosting Option, which provides proven and predictable
data center services along with Discern nCode® computer-assisted
coding and Cerner Patient Portal. Adventist Health is also working
with Cerner on advancing their revenue cycle solutions.
