"It has been interesting to watch the level of discussion change and see people’s level of understanding about the impact of their decisions. Including doctors early on in decisions that were going to impact their lives helped. It is important to be transparent, allow people to be open, let them share their concerns and hold people accountable."
“Cerner Patient eSignature for our Patient Financial Services departments has been an innovative solution that allows for an integrated and seamless work-flow to allow real time capture of documents into our Cerner EMR."
“This is now more time I can spend back with my patients, their families, my nursing and case management staff, and my family. Thank you for all of this work.”
"Communication between teams is vital. Using technology allows us to increase communication, better assess patients, and ultimately, make significant improvements in patient outcomes."
"We’re doing a lot of preventive care. I think it’s just going to keep continuing to grow."
"MU Health Care has about 60 clinics, so we’re not able to embed a pharmacist in each of the clinics. The technology creates an efficient workflow."
"ViPRX helps physicians if their patients have any medication issues. It helps them address issues in a quicker manner because they don’t have to do as much background work. It’s being done for them."
"Using Rapid Response improved patient safety, it’s improved the number of patients we see, it’s improved the time in which we reach patients who need our help and it’s improved the quality of data selection."
"Having information readily available about a patient, regardless of where care occurs, expedites care in ways that requesting paper charts could never do—even within an organization."
"Without the computer-fed history, the physicians would not have thought to take the action they did the computer, the people who fed the data, the people who wrote and installed the capability and the doctors who thought to look at the history saved a life."
"Cerner helped MOHAP automate the interfaces and augment the quality and quantity of AMR data captured."
"Moving to automation helped make a big difference. Now each test takes a few seconds. That’s a lot of time saved when you’re running an average of more than 2,000 tests a month."
"We have a new opportunity with the digital agenda to do things differently, to do things smarter — sometimes faster, but hopefully more efficiently — that will improve both the working life of clinical staff and the care we give to patients. Patients really are what we’re here for first and foremost."
"It’s had a real impact on handovers. We can have a list of our patients up on the screen, and we can go around and individually look at the NEWS scores so there’s no miscommunication."
"Results get to the patients faster. Many physicians adjust blood thinner medication, and they want to get it done during the day. We also have the patient portal where patients can go online and review their lab results. We can get those results to the patient quicker."
