Medical publisher the BMJ Group, UK, has announced that the company has entered into an agreement with US-based healthcare information technology supplier Cerner Corporation. Under the deal, BMJ will integrate its evidence-based medical information with a range of solutions offered by Cerner in the UK and internationally.
The first outcome of this collaboration will be the introduction of Order Entry sets for the hospital sector which brings together BMJ Group's evidence-based research database, BMJ Clinical Evidence, with Cerner Millennium software.
Cerner Millennium is a healthcare information technology computing platform that helps health professionals elevate safety, quality and efficiency. Clinicians connect to the centralised Cerner Millennium electronic patient record to access vital information for effective decision-making. Combining technology with knowledge, Cerner Millennium empowers health professionals to order tests and track results, make diagnoses, prescribe, dispense and document care using a single information system.
BMJ Clinical Evidence is a compendium of the latest research evidence. It sums up what's known - and not known - about more than 200 medical conditions and more than 2,000 treatments and is an invaluable tool for any health professional wanting to base their clinical decisions on the best available evidence.
