Read MoreHide Full Article

Cerner Corporation’s coveted electronic health record (EHR) system — Cerner Millennium — has been recently administered by Texas-based Rankin County Hospital District (“RCHD”). The platform will ensure improved patient experience.

Notably, RCHD is a health and wellness body, which serves the West Texas community. The Cerner Millennium EHR offers sophisticated health care technology to help doctors and nurses streamline their operations for better results.

RCHD will deploy the new EHR through the Cerner CommunityWorks model. Notably, the model uses cloud technology to deliver the power of Cerner Millennium. It is customized to support the unique needs of community, critical access and specialty hospitals. RCHD staffs can now access a digital record of their patients’ health history, including real-time clinical and financial data.

Cerner’s EHR is providing comprehensive care to RCHD’s 15-bed critical access hospital. Resultantly, this has impacted RCHD’s daily revenue cycle meetings, allowing management to handle operations.

Additionally, the platform will ensure improved patient engagement through its new online portal for communication between patients and the hospital.

Latest Developments in Cerner’s EHR Front

Cerner’s EHR, comprising electronic patient record (EPR) or electronic medical record (EMR), is the basis of all core clinical solutions. Lately, the EHR platform has witnessed a glut of developments.

Cerner Millennium and Cerner HealtheIntent were recently implemented at California-based Kern Medical, a 222-bed acute care teaching center.

Cerner HealtheIntent was recently picked by Illinois Rural Community Care Organization, across its units to coordinate care for Medicare patients throughout the state.

In February, Cerner Millennium was selected by University of Missouri Health Care, Columbia, to help manage revenue cycle performance across its five hospitals and more than 50 primary and specialty care clinics.

Price Performance

We believe, these developments are going to provide a cushion to Cerner’s stock that has declined 5.1% in a year’s time, against the industry’s gain of 3.7%.
