MIT Medical Selects Cerner’s Integrated Health Care Technology for Care of Students, Faculty and Staff
August 14 2017 - 4:30PM
MIT Medical will be adopting an integrated clinical, financial and
population health management system from Cerner, a global leader in
health care technology. The Cerner Millennium® electronic
health record (EHR) is designed to support an individual’s health
care journey across the continuum with robust patient engagement.
“Cerner will help MIT Medical interact much more seamlessly with
our patients, enhancing their experience of care,” said Dr. Cecilia
Stuopis, medical director at MIT Medical. “We expect that the
system’s increased efficiency for our providers, frontline staff
and business office will eliminate many of the day-to-day
frustrations our employees now experience.”
MIT Medical serves more than 20,000 Massachusetts Institute
Technology students, faculty, staff and retirees, as well as
members of their families. Cerner’s comprehensive suite of
integrated health care IT solutions will support MIT Medical’s
clinical processes and health management across its two locations
in Cambridge and Lexington, Mass.
“The Cerner platform will allow us to house data in one
integrated database that can be accessed by both our EHR and
scheduling and billing platforms,” said Shelagh Joyce, MIT
Medical’s director of information services. “The system will also
enable us to connect electronically to other health care
institutions, give our clinicians equally good access across
desktop and mobile platforms and offer a more function-rich patient
portal.”
Through Cerner Millennium, a single patient portal will
connect patients with the hospital and physician practices, which
will provide patients with the tools to take a more proactive role
in managing their health care.
“We’re looking forward to the many ways this new system will
improve our patient experience here at MIT Medical,” said Stuopis.
“Patients will be able to contribute information about their health
on an ongoing basis and have it integrated directly into the health
record. We’ll be able to launch video visits for some types of
care, allowing patients and providers to interact directly without
needing to come to MIT Medical for a visit.”
In addition to the Cerner Millennium EHR, MIT Medical will be
implementing Cerner’s HealthelntentSM population health management
platform. HealtheIntent aggregates and normalizes data from various
sources in near real-time and is designed to provide clinicians
with meaningful data to identify and stratify populations to locate
gaps in care.
Through this process, a longitudinal record is established for
individuals within a population. HealtheIntent is also engineered
to engage patients beyond the hospital setting and help providers
manage outcomes, aiming to improve the overall health of the
community.
“One of the most compelling things about Cerner is that their
own clinicians use the software they develop. It’s very unique to
find a technology provider with that kind of front-line health care
experience,” Joyce said.
The HealtheIntent platform is designed to create a single,
comprehensive view of an individual’s experiences across the
continuum of health and care.
“We’re excited to bring technology to MIT Medical that will help
engage their students, faculty, staff and retirees in their health
care,” said Zane Burke, president of Cerner. “Our solutions will
support their clinical processes, facilitate proactive patient
health management and assisting clinicians in providing value-based
care to the MIT community.”
