Cerner Receives ‘Best in KLAS’ Distinctions in Health Care Technology
February 07 2020 - 10:01AM
Cerner Corporation (NASDAQ: CERN), a global health care technology
company, has achieved 2020 Best in KLAS honors, recognizing the
company’s outstanding efforts in three distinct areas to help
health care professionals deliver better patient care. KLAS
Research, a leading health care IT data insights company, has named
Cerner Best in KLAS for Most Improved Physician Practices and
Global Acute Care EMR for the Middle East/Africa market for the
second year in a row. The company has also been named Category
Leader for Behavioral Health.
“Providers and payers demand better performance, usability and
interoperability from their vendor partners every year. Best in
KLAS winners set the standard of excellence in their market
segment,” said Adam Gayle, president, KLAS. “Earning a Best in KLAS
award should both excite and humble the recipients. It serves as a
signal to providers that they should expect only the best from the
winning vendors.”
For the first time, the Cerner Behavioral Health EHR has been
named a Category Leader. The EHR offers core features required by
organizations that specialize in the delivery of mental and
behavioral health services, while also offering advanced
functionality, like interoperability and client portals, needed to
navigate the challenges of value-based care. The National Alliance
on Mental Illness (NAMI) reports the average delay between symptom
onset and treatment of mental health is 11 years, with one in
five adults in the U.S experiencing the
illness. Cerner’s KLAS distinction furthers its commitment to
help clinicians speed-up the diagnosis process and track symptoms
across disparate systems.
“Behavioral Health is an area of growing crisis worldwide,” said
Donald Trigg, executive vice president, Strategic Growth, Cerner.
“For individuals and families that seek help, our unified Cerner
solution is designed to make it easier for providers to deliver the
integrated care that successful treatment demands. We are excited
to receive recognition as a category leader in this area and to
advance our capabilities even further in the future.”
Additionally, Cerner has earned 2020 Best in KLAS designation
for Global Acute EMR in the Middle East/Africa Market for the
second consecutive year. In a diverse global EMR Market, this
report shows Cerner is widely used, meeting and exceeding industry
standards for clients around the world. Cerner has worked to become
a technology leader in the Middle East/Africa Market by
implementing strategic changes to better support clients and
adjusting its client engagement model to provide more personalized
client experiences and support. The company will continue to strive
toward excellence in this region by advancing its commitment to
deliver tangible value for clients to drive their success.
KLAS also awarded Cerner most improved Physician Practice. The
2020 Best in KLAS annual report finds small physician practices
(2–10 physicians) that use Cerner Practice Management report a 10%
increase in their overall satisfaction, with satisfaction
increasing in all areas measured by KLAS. According to the report,
these practices have seen improved relationships with Cerner and
describe the system as a solid technology platform with which they
can run their practices. Cerner’s support personnel are empowered
to solve problems and do so in an efficient manner.
“Earning recognition by KLAS conveys Cerner’s commitment to the
systemic improvement of health care delivery and the health of
communities,” said Trigg. “We are proud to be recognized by an
industry-leading organization and trusted by many clients across
the globe in this space.”
