Cerner and ResMed Join Forces to Connect Health Networks and the Home
October 07 2019 - 9:00AM
Cerner Corporation (NASDAQ: CERN), a global health platform and
innovation company, and ResMed (NYSE: RMD, ASX: RMD), a
world-leading digital health company, today announced a new
collaboration agreement to help providers make more informed
treatment decisions, control costs and deliver seamless care across
health systems to the home.
As the population continues to age and payment models shift
toward value-based care, home care is becoming more favored by
patients and providers. To address this trend, Cerner designated
ResMed’s Brightree Home Health and Hospice platform as its
preferred solution in the space to integrate with its Cerner
Millennium® electronic health record (EHR). The resulting flow of
insightful data will provide caregivers better tools to make more
informed decisions and more easily transition patients from acute
settings to out-of-hospital care.
“Both Cerner and ResMed believe in a system of health where the
individual is at the center,” said Don Trigg, executive vice
president, Strategic Growth, Cerner. “This relationship brings a
top home health solution to Cerner clients and advances our larger,
strategic vision to build a person-centric health network in every
community.”
Cerner also plans to connect other ResMed digital health data
platforms—including those that support 10 million-plus
cloud-connectable sleep apnea and respiratory care devices—to its
EHR and HealtheIntent® population health platform. Having more of a
patient’s comprehensive health data available in a place that
clinicians use in their daily work can help everyone better
understand and improve health outcomes.
“Supporting seamless transitions of care between acute and
post-acute settings is a fundamental part of ResMed’s strategy to
improve people’s quality of life and reduce health care costs.
Working with Cerner is a significant step toward that reality,”
said Raj Sodhi, SaaS Business president, ResMed. “A person’s health
data is their own and should move with them, giving providers the
information they need to deliver personalized care. We look forward
to supporting Cerner and its clients in shaping the future through
connected care that improves people’s well-being and lowers costs
for providers.”
ResMed will present the Brightree Home Health and Hospice
platform at the annual Cerner Health Conference 2019, beginning
today through Oct. 9 in Kansas City.
