    P2Sentinel™

    P2Sentinel is the auditing solution Cerner uses to track user access to confidential patient data in Cerner Millennium and other clinical solutions and other systems. Patient privacy is fundamental in healthcare cyber-security programs and provides a record of access to patient information within the organization.

    Patient Privacy

    A health care organization is responsible for knowing and implementing legislative/regulatory requirements or international best practices to ensure patient information is protected from misuse. P2Sentinel assists by compiling and displaying audit event details in a variety of reports designed to limit organizational liability or reputational risk.

    Security Policy

    Security auditing involves numerous measures and P2Sentinel provides details for assessing changes in the system which assist in identifying risks or areas of weakness in current policies. For example, any user account, privilege and policy change is measured. By identifying these areas, healthcare organizations can be proactive in preventing future risks.

    Regulatory Compliance image_blue medical with blue data background

    Regulatory Compliance

    Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances (EPCS) assists with monitoring the rising prescription drug abuse problem by requiring prescriber authentication, heightened security standards and actively auditing the EPCS activities. P2Sentinel's certification process is maintained by Cerner so that individual sites are compliant to use ePrescribe software. It is important to note that compliant software is only one aspect of compliance. It must also be configured and used as it is intended.
