Cerner and i2i Population Health Collaborate to Better Serve Medicaid Population
October 03 2019 - 09:00AM
Cerner Corporation (Nasdaq: CERN), a global health platform and
innovation company, and i2i Population Health are now working
together to increase the care quality and reduce costs for millions
that depend on Medicaid services through population health
management offerings.
Medicaid enrollment in the U.S. hit nearly 75 million in 2018
and is expected to reach 81 million in 2024. National Medicaid
spending is expected to increase from $629 billion to more than
$884 billion in the next five years. Together, Cerner and i2i will
use technology designed to help control costs and improve the
health of Medicaid populations. The collaborative work expects to
deliver value directly to state Medicaid, Centers for Medicare
& Medicaid Services (CMS) and Managed Care stakeholders by
combining their respective scale and expertise in the managed
Medicaid market.
“We are dedicated to helping our clients deliver the highest
quality care possible with improved outcomes at the lowest cost,”
said Chad Haynes, vice president, Strategic Growth, State
Government and Medicaid, Cerner. “Our comprehensive population
health management tools combined with i2i’s EHR-agnostic
capabilities will support users to drive positive, sustainable
outcomes for community health centers, primary care associations
and rural health systems.”
Cerner currently serves many of the largest safety net
communities in the nation. With several statewide EHR, population
health and analytics contracts that support public health,
behavioral and correctional health care facilities, Cerner is
developing and implementing technology solutions that deliver on a
vision of a seamless and connected world.
As part of this new collaboration, Cerner and i2i clients will
be able to leverage a comprehensive bi-directional integration that
allows data to flow freely in Cerner’s electronic health record
(EHR) system, HealtheIntent® and i2i product suite. The integration
will provide an enhanced set of population health management
capabilities to deliver data-driven health insights and help
clients better meet the needs of their Medicaid population.
i2i serves approximately one-quarter of the nation’s Federally
Qualified Health Centers, with more than 20 million Medicaid
patients managed through its technology solutions. By working
together, the two companies will be better positioned to support
safety net provider organizations, state Medicaid departments and
managed care health plan organizations.
“i2i’s strong experience serving Medicaid beneficiaries paired
with Cerner’s industry leading health IT solutions and services
will advance our similar missions to improve the health of
communities,” said Justin L. Neece, president and CEO, i2i.
“Together, we will support provider organizations and health plans
as they work toward improving quality outcomes, lowering costs and
enhancing revenue opportunities.”
