In 2010, Cerner Corporation developed the St. John Sepsis Surveillance Agent in an effort to identify sepsis at its earliest stages. The agent has been implemented in more than 550 hospitals in the United States alone and has proven to be an effective tool for early identification of high-risk patients. Of the more than 1.5 million Americans who are affected by sepsis each year, 250,000 die from the infection response. In fact, one in three patients who die in hospitals have sepsis. Early detection is critical to treating the disease and saving lives. Here are three stories of how sepsis surveillance has impacted the way health care is delivered by identifying and intervening with the disease.

Consumerism in health care is becoming a growing trend as patients increasingly take an active role in their health care journey. So how can organizations create value in the consumer experience? In this episode of The Cerner Podcast, Dr. Neeli Bendapudi, University of Kansas Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor and a professor of marketing at the KU School of Business shares insight on how organizations can engage with consumers to support improved health care services.
Environmental and social factors impact a person’s health – that’s something we are all starting to agree on. If I don’t have to worry about where my next meal is coming from, it follows that I have more time and energy to focus on nutrition. If I have a car and have health insurance, I am more likely to see a doctor regularly to maintain my good health status.
As the health care industry shifts to value-based care payment models, more providers are investing in population health management strategies to help improve patient outcomes. Ryan Hamilton, senior vice president of population health at Cerner, joined The Cerner Podcast to discuss the market shift and what organizations can do to deliver better care.
Health care is undergoing a shift from volume-based to value-based care to improve overall heath. For many years, the core function of the EHR has been the transaction. Now, the industry is moving to intelligent EHRs, where data drives actionable population health insights. In this episode of The Cerner Podcast, Dr. William Feaster discusses how implementing population health management early in life can impact the health of the next generation.
