Cerner recently announced a strategic agreement with Intermountain Healthcare to provide clinical governance of solutions and workflow to be proposed for the Department of Defense's Healthcare Management System Modernization (DHMSM) initiative. Cerner is a member of the Leidos Partnership for Defense Health, an alliance that includes Leidos, the domain experts in Military Health, and Accenture, a global IT and management consulting.
If awarded, the Leidos Partnership will transition the DOD smoothly and securely to an open, modern, secure and interoperable system, informed by the most comprehensive medical information across the continuum of care. Leveraging decades of clinical experience and research, Intermountain will work with Cerner to meet the military's specific requirements to modernise its electronic health record (EHR) process.
As part of the agreement, Intermountain will serve a key role on Cerner's advisory and governance structures, informing Cerner's participation in the DHMSM project from deployment to clinical systems architecture.
Through a multi-year partnership, Intermountain is implementing Cerner EHR solutions and revenue cycle across its internationally recognized nonprofit system of 22 hospitals and 185 clinics throughout Utah and southeastern Idaho.
