What is Cerner?
Cerner Corporation is a leading provider of clinical and management information systems and services to the healthcare industry worldwide. Cerner systems enable physicians and clinicians to make more effective care decisions, health organization executives to make more effective business decisions, and individuals to take a more active role in managing their own health.
Benefits: Cerner systems can automate processes within individual clinical disciplines or link all aspects of the integrated health organization. Because individuals may encounter the healthcare system in various settings and circumstances, Cerner systems are focused on the individual to enable the creation and effective use of longitudinal electronic medical records and to provide physicians and clinicians access to those records across the continuum of care. Cerner systems also support healthcare organization's efforts to address service, quality, and economic issues associated with mergers, consolidations, and managed care.
Clients: Cerner has more than 1,000 clients in the U.S. and around the world. These clients include integrated health organizations, integrated delivery systems, community hospitals, ambulatory clinics, physician practices, management services organizations, blood banks, reference labs, and home health organizations.
Technology: Cerner's Health Network Architecture (HNA) is the world’s most comprehensive application architecture. The newest version, known as HNA 500, features distributed three-tier client/server technology, a graphical user interface, and a relational database. HNA 500 maximizes the benefits of seamless information sharing to allow Cerner systems to work together and with other applications to create an information infrastructure that enables health organizations to create and use electronic medical records and clinical decision support, streamline and automate clinical processes, make more effective decisions, use resources more effectively, reduce costs, and improve quality of care.
