Cerner Overview

Details

While many clinics and medical practices struggle to cut costs, Cerner promises reduced costs and improved revenue even as it reduces administrative load on clinic administrators and executives.  The solution gives all practitioners and care providers the information they need to run the practice just when they require it. As a result, staff is not overburdened with data, but has the support needed to make informed and insightful decisions.  The solution also provides a quick return on investment and streamlines documentation. It makes operations more efficient and reduces requirements for storage and inventory, and even reduces the phone calls a clinic needs to make.

Cerner makes it easy to share data between physicians – even if they do not work together. Patient medication data, problem histories, allergy data, radiology reports, lab results and all clinical documents can be shared in a HIPAA-compliant format. This sharing of data reduces the cost of treatment, improves patient care and improves the quality of treatment. The physician or hospital with which data is to be shared could be using any EHR system of their choice.

Cerner Practice Management solutions also come with a number of data management and analysis features built in. Analytics help clinics make better use of data and become more efficient. The Cerner enterprise data warehouse aggregates medical data across the entire community, and provides a number of very powerful data visualization tools that allow executives to understand their operations and their bottlenecks better, and make better decisions.
