Cerner and GetWellNetwork Bring More Convenience and Accessibility to Health Care
September 24 2019 - 9:00AM
Cerner Corporation (NASDAQ: CERN), a global health platform and
innovation company, and GetWellNetwork, a global consumer health
technology company, are collaborating to bridge gaps between
providers and patients from inpatient to outpatient settings and
the home. Care teams will be able to engage patients before and
after admission through automated check-ins, identify who needs
assistance in near-real time and proactively intervene before
complications and additional costs arise.
Consumer engagement and convenient access to high-quality
services is an increasingly important macro trend in health care.
Cerner and GetWellNetwork will address these expectations by
helping patients become more aware of the details of their
treatment and active in the decision-making process, while also
supporting lower costs for providers.
“Our work together will help elevate consumer experiences and
engagement beyond what our clients have been able to achieve on a
stand-alone basis,” said John Gresham, senior vice president,
Health Networks and Real-Time Health Systems, Cerner. “This
collaboration is another example of how Cerner is accelerating
third-party innovation on top of the digitized platforms we’ve
built and pioneered to expedite the delivery of person-centered
experiences and benefit to clients.”
This collaboration will provide patients convenience,
empowerment and accessibility. Through better communications,
patients will be able to quickly engage key members of their care
team, view their treatment plan and access personalized educational
materials that will help them prepare for a health event or aid in
their recovery. These capabilities will create an experience that
is connected across settings by providing the same information and
guidance to a patient before, during and after a care
encounter.
“Leading health care providers around the world are pressing
technology suppliers to deliver true cross-continuum care in a
high-tech, high-touch way that makes consumer engagement and care
coordination seamless for patients, families and providers,” said
Michael O’Neil, founder and CEO, GetWellNetwork. “Combining
our expertise in developing interactive digital solutions that
improve the patient experience with Cerner’s world-class platforms
creates immense opportunity for our clients to better meet the
needs of today’s highly connected health care consumer.”
