Saint Clare's Selects Cerner as Healthcare IT Partner; Collaboration Will Enhance Quality, Improve Safety, And Advance Efficiencies
Kansas City, MO & Denville, NJ - Saint Clare's Health Care System has selected Cerner Corp. as its partner for clinical information systems. Through the agreement, Cerner will implement its innovative Cerner Millennium solutions in each of Saint Clare's four hospitals and healthcare facilities to improve the delivery of safe, efficient, high-quality care.
"Our implementation of the Cerner Millennium system will fundamentally change how care is rendered at Saint Clare's," said Rich Temple, chief information officer, Saint Clare's. "The system will allow authorized Saint Clare's clinicians to access the latest technology tools, providing efficient access to all relevant patient information and the latest evidence-based care protocols available. Our investment in advanced healthcare IT strengthens our ongoing efforts to ensure that Saint Clare's remains New Jersey's premier community healthcare system."
Saint Clare's expects the automated system to further reduce:
- Days from lengths of stay
- Inaccurate billing
- Documentation required by nurses and ancillaries
- Unnecessary clinician work processes
- Delinquency of unsigned orders and the need for order verification
- Errors, waste and friction
Cerner Millennium solutions will streamline the work of physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals through the use of electronic medical records that will track a person's health history over time and across Saint Clare's organization. The use of computerized physician order entry (CPOE) will synchronize workflow around the complex, error-prone process of medication management and provides clinicians with the best science for decision making and benchmarking. Cerner's pharmacy and nursing applications will also be implemented, enabling each department to access and share vital clinical information.
By selecting Cerner, Saint Clare's Health Care System chose a supplier with strength in numbers. Cerner has more than 4,300 Cerner Millennium solutions live at nearly 860 client facilities around the world.
"Cerner and Saint Clare's have a shared mission to eliminate error, variance, waste and unnecessary cost from the care process," said Trace Devanny, Cerner's president. "We are thrilled at the opportunity to partner with Saint Clare's to deliver a world-class clinical solution to their organization."
