Wisconsin Health System Chooses Cerner’s Leading Behavioral Health Technology
June 02 2020 - 9:00AM
North Central Health Care (NCHC) has selected Cerner
Corporation® (NASDAQ: CERN), a global health care technology
company, to implement its electronic health record (EHR) at three
multi-specialty behavioral health care facilities across Wisconsin.
Through this agreement, NCHC will use Cerner’s industry-recognized
technology to provide physicians, therapists and nurses with near
real-time patient information to help drive efficiencies and
improve care.
Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced the importance of
robust health technology to treat physical and mental health
concerns. A recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll stated that 45% of
adults in the U.S. report their mental health has been negatively
impacted due to worry and stress caused by the uncertainty of the
virus.
“We look forward to working with North Central Health Care to
support their mission to provide compassionate and high-quality
care for people with mental and behavioral health needs,”
said Adam Laskey, vice president, Behavioral Health, Cerner.
“The timing couldn’t be more relevant with the current coronavirus
pandemic – and the recovery phase to come – causing unprecedented
levels of demand on behavioral health organizations like NCHC. Our
unified solution seeks to make it easier for providers to deliver
the integrated and accessible care necessary, including in virtual
settings, to support patients on their recovery journey.”
Through its foundational EHR, Cerner’s work with NCHC will help
facilitate integrated care across its mental and behavioral health
services including psychiatric, emergency, rehabilitation,
community treatment and more.
“It was extremely important for us to choose a system that
aligns with our strategic imperative - to provide quality care that
is consistently superior and adopts advanced technologies that help
us reimagine our environments to truly be patient-centered,” said
Michael Loy, CEO, North Central Health Care. “Cerner’s technology
platform will help deliver an improved engagement with our
patients, while providing our team of talented professionals with a
user-friendly system that seamlessly improves outcomes across our
multitude of programs.”
Cerner’s patient portal solution, available through the
HealtheLifeSM portal, can help better position health systems like
NCHC to offer more care options to patients. After implementation,
care teams and patients will be able to use a secure online patient
portal, giving around-the-clock access to health records and the
ability to message health providers and schedule appointments.
Additionally, NCHC therapists and providers will be able to see
patients virtually through this portal.
Cerner’s Behavioral Health technology supports the clinical and
financial needs of inpatient, outpatient and community behavioral
health providers across the country. Earlier this year, the
Behavioral Health EHR was named a KLAS Category Leader, by a
leading health care IT data insights company. Cerner’s KLAS
distinction highlights the company’s commitment to helping
clinicians speed up the diagnosis process and track symptoms across
different health systems.
