Cerner Corporation (NASDAQ: CERN) today announced the appointment
of Don Trigg to President and John Peterzalek to Chief Client and
Services Officer.
“I want to congratulate Don and John on their expanded roles,”
said Brent Shafer, chairman and CEO, Cerner. “These appointments,
along with other enhancements we are making to Cerner’s leadership
structure to create better alignment and accountability, will build
on the progress we’ve made since launching Cerner’s new operating
model in 2019 to align more closely with our clients’ strategic
objectives and position Cerner for long-term growth.”
Don will be responsible for Clinical EHR, Revenue Cycle
Management and Strategic Growth businesses, which include Real-Time
Health Systems, Health Networks, Data-as-a-Service, Long-Term and
Post-Acute Care, Consumer and Employer.
In his expanded role, Trigg, who joined Cerner in 2002, will
lead the long-term vision of Cerner’s product portfolio, key
product lines and performance and profitability. He also will be
responsible for driving the strategy and programmatic efforts
involved with Cerner’s platform modernization and the company’s
development of the cognitive platform for health care.
“Don is a proven leader in defining and operationalizing
disruptive strategies and innovation to expand Cerner beyond the
EHR era,” Shafer said. “I’m looking forward to Don’s continued
leadership at this critical juncture in health care.”
“There has never been a better moment to innovate at the
intersection of health care and information technology,” Trigg
said. “Providers are building out health networks to manage the
health and care of the individual. Data holds the promise to
deliver a new era of cognitive precision and personalization. We
believe Cerner is well positioned to define and lead it.”

will ensure clients are achieving value and experiencing
world-class service.”

on delivering high-value solutions and a first-class client
