"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."

“Although our analysts were still very involved with the upgrade, the Upgrade Center provided our staff the additional support needed so they could continue to concentrate on other strategic initiatives that were prioritized by our Health System."

"We used to adjust bed boards based on when a bed was declared ‘dirty."

"When I started the program, I weighed about 43 pounds more than I do now; and so I’ve been able to lose a substantial amount of weight. I have learned through the wellness program that even though I work full time and I’m a mom, that it’s still ok to take care of myself."

"This ‘leaner’ workflow has allowed for expansion of our pharmacy consulting services and given pharmacists more flexibility to tackle other important hospital initiatives like readmissions, medication reconciliation and pain management."

"IV drips are titrated to patient-specific parameters; this means the drip rate can fluctuate at any time, making it difficult for us to know how much time is left until the bag is dry. The dashboard allows us to control for this fluctuation and do a better job anticipating what the patient needs, which helps eliminate delay in therapy of these critical medications."

"Being one of the first Cerner clients in the country to implement the CareAware Pharmacy Dashboard, we’ve seen firsthand how profound real-time data can be in optimizing workflow, which in turn can lead to better patient outcomes. In addition, utilizing automated tasking in lieu of paper reports has helped pharmacists to work smarter in providing optimal patient care. The growing demand on improving quality metrics only means technology will play a bigger role in assisting pharmacists to meet these demands. I’m confident we’ll be able to expand on our efforts and continue making strides improving patient care, quality metrics and cost efficiency."

"You can’t be a passive participant in your health. You have to be active. You have to know your numbers, and you have to be engaged."

"Our whole population health HealtheRegistries project … really brings to light patient gaps in care. We have multiple ways now to reach out to patients and quickly identify those patients’ needs."

"It has made a large impact in a short amount of time. These solutions have improved communication and removed barriers."

"The flow was around people, not processes. There were times patients were held in the emergency department for two to three days and would be discharged without being assigned an inpatient bed."

"We can now see where our issues are very clearly. We can see what is coming in and how to deploy resources based on what to expect."

"Now, I go to Cerner Direct Referral. Everything’s there, and then we can track it. We can run reports against it."

"With Cerner Direct, we were able to exchange key clinical information between caregivers; effectively manage, track and complete requests; report status updates electronically and interoperate with 35 different institutions across the Kansas City metro area."

"Cerner Direct helps us in building our partnerships with our community partners, especially the federally qualified health centers. They are able to see what services we have available, make a referral and track the status with a touch of a button."
