Our patient access solutions streamline information across your organization.
Power of integration

- Easily manage resources when clinical orders are integrated with Cerner Scheduling Management

Scheduling
Cerner Scheduling Management coordinates appointment scheduling across an integrated or disparate health system. It automates the appointment scheduling process from both centralized and decentralized booking locations within a department, and/or a facility. This setting may consist of one to many physical locations, each united by a common environment.

- Validate medical necessity at serval points in the workflow
- Prevent adverse appointment and procedure interactions
- Easily move appointments around in a single view
Registration
The Cerner Registration Management solution was designed to help automate the workflow and process of registration, admitting, transfers and discharges. It creates the encounter and a master person index (MPI) that becomes the basis for coordinating the person’s movement across an integrated or disparate health system. Register patients using an integrated workflow with embedded transaction services.
- Collect co-pay or payments on outstanding balances prior to care being delivered
- Validate eligibility and benefits in near-real time or batch functionality
- Manage your staff’s workload with interactive work lists
