We are excited to share we will be showcasing our focus on the person at the center of health care through our broad range of services and solutions across the care continuum, in Booth 2161 at HIMSS17, Feb. 19–23, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.

Cerner will also debut two thought leadership mediums at HIMSS17.

Inside Cerner's Booth

Attendees can follow a hypothetical patient's health care journey across the continuum to learn first-hand how Cerner solutions and services keep the person at the center of care while supporting an organization's clinical, financial and operational needs.

"Patients are increasingly becoming more active participants in their own health care and health care organizations are continually seeking new ways to engage with their patients," said Zane Burke, president, Cerner. "It's this approach that drives our vision for the future as we remain focused on advancing technology that is capable of supporting care coordination beyond the acute and ambulatory setting."

Demonstrations will showcase the value and benefits for members of the health care team and its patients in the following workflow zones: consumer, population health, interoperability, ambulatory, acute care, continuum of care, financial management, government and services.

Cerner will feature HealtheIntent^SM, its population health management platform, a system-agnostic, near real-time platform that aggregates and normalizes data from multiple, disparate sources, which establishes a longitudinal record for each person within a population.

"The era of digitization is mostly complete, and we have a responsibility to our clients and their patients to deliver a return on their investment beyond automation," said Burke. "Cerner has the largest reported R&D investment in the industry. We've focused that investment around improving our solutions to drive actionable insights that improve outcomes and reduce costs."
