CERNER SALUTES PHYSICIAN COMMUNITY IN CELEBRATION OF NATIONAL DOCTORS’ DAY
March 30 2020 - 10:30AM
Today, Cerner Corporation (Nasdaq: CERN), a global health care
technology company, is recognizing National Doctors’ Day,
an opportunity to thank physicians for their contributions to
the health of communities throughout the country.
“On behalf of Cerner, I’d like to recognize and thank physicians
and clinicians everywhere for their sacrifices and heroic efforts
in safeguarding the health of their communities,” said Brent
Shafer, chairman and CEO, Cerner. “Physicians have always played an
important role in society, but in these unprecedented times, we
have witnessed our client physicians going above and beyond. We
thank you for being on the frontlines of this pandemic and every
day.”
With pre-pandemic burnout rates among physicians and clinicians
on the rise, Cerner has continuously worked to provide tools and
technologies aimed at reducing physician burnout. Throughout the
years, Cerner has cumulatively invested more than $7 billion into
research and development, creating meaningful physician-focused
innovations, like voice-assisted technology and improved
AI-assisted clinical documentation.
Since the global onset of COVID-19, Cerner has taken numerous
steps to protect and empower physicians by expanding telehealth
capabilities with Cerner Patient Observer and AmWell, making it
easier for clients to perform life-saving work.
“As a practicing physician, I want to express my admiration and
heartfelt gratitude for those physicians fighting on the frontlines
of this global pandemic,” said Lu de Souza, MD, vice president and
chief medical officer, Cerner. “We at Cerner are responsible for
providing these physicians with the infrastructure and support
needed to combat this outbreak. We are humbled by the opportunity
to develop technology that proactively contributes to physician
wellness.”
Cerner currently employs more than 100 physicians, and Cerner’s
solutions have nearly 700,000 physician users. Cerner has worked
alongside its client physicians for decades to design intuitive,
physician-friendly solutions that enable collaboration across
mobile and desktop platforms and enhance user efficiency,
productivity and satisfaction.
National Doctors’ Day is celebrated each year on March 30.
On this day, and every day, Cerner encourages all health care
consumers to thank physicians across the country for their
continued efforts to keep patients and communities healthy.
