Sturdy Memorial Hospital selects Cerner EHR for cutting-edge functionality
February 28 2019 - 4:01PM
Sturdy Memorial Hospital (SMH) is set to upgrade its current
electronic health record (EHR) with a full suite of Cerner
Millennium® acute, ambulatory and revenue cycle solutions. The
community hospital signed a seven-year agreement with Cerner, a
global leader in health care technology, to upgrade medical
software at its 132-bed hospital in Attleboro, Massachusetts.
“For more than 100 years, SMH has remained dedicated to serving
patients in this community, and providing the best quality care,”
said Joseph Casey, president and CEO, SMH. “Through a shared
strategic vision with Cerner, we are confident their software
solutions will help us continue to grow, meeting patient needs both
now and in the future.”
The Cerner platform is designed to make it easier for
physicians, nurses and clinicians to share and access data across
an entire organization. This platform offers documentation that can
be updated in near real-time, which supports physicians in
providing personalized and efficient care. The patient portal
feature integrates with the EHR, allowing patients to communicate
with providers through secure messaging, book or change
appointments and view clinical information.
Through this agreement SMH will use Cerner CommunityWorksSM, a
cloud-based deployment model, tailored to help community health
care organizations securely manage patient health history,
including clinical and financial data. The software deployed
through this model is designed to support transparency between
patients and their care team and bring true interoperability to the
health system.
“We work hard to develop software that provides cutting-edge,
reliable EHR solutions to our clients,” said Mitchell Clark,
president, CommunityWorks, Cerner. “Our model is well-suited for a
health system of this size and designed to address their unique
needs. We look forward to working with Sturdy as they usher in new,
more efficient workflows through this platform to help improve
patient care.”
