Two additional hospitals will implement Cerner Millennium
IDSTEIN, Germany, 2013-06-04 08:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Cerner (Nasdaq:CERN) announces that the AMEOS Group, a Cerner client since
2005, will implement the clinical information system Cerner Millennium(r) in two
new facilities within the coming months. As part of the implementation,
Lighthouse(r) will be installed for the first time in Germany at Aschersleben and
Stabetafurt.
Lighthouse supports the AMEOS Group's objectives to increase patient safety and
care quality while adding value and creating additional revenue. It supports
clinicians and nursing staff in their daily workflow: Utilizing industry
standard clinical workflows and the embedded decision support with
consequential notifications, sepsis may be detected and treated at early stages
which could help prevent further complications. Additional opportunities arise
from enhancements in discharge management, the reduction and prevention of
falls and pressure ulcers, time savings in the nursing workflow and improved
documentation of patient complexity scores.
Cerner and the AMEOS Group have built a strong cooperative partnership and
collaboratively developed cutting-edge IT solutions that have proven successful
and innovative for coding and administration.
Dr. Stephan Zahn, Chief Technology Officer of the AMEOS Group, is delighted
about the further collaboration: 'Cerner's strategy of approaching IT solutions
has fully convinced me. With the support of Cerner Millennium, we aspire to
make use of synergic effects and new opportunities. In addition to increased
patient safety and clinical outcome quality, we expect substantial savings and
additional revenue. The system provides opportunities to optimise organisation
management and controlling. Hence, Cerner Millennium is not only a clinical
information system that stores patient data and test results, but a complex
management tool. Through the deployment of the solution in other AMEOS
hospitals the benefits are well known'.
'For us, AMEOS is an important reference site,' said Holger Cordes, General
Manager of Cerner Deutschland GmbH. 'We have set new standards together and
today we are looking at a new generation of systems. While our traditional
objectives of supporting clinical processes and billing are still at the base
of our work, integrative and comprehensive approaches that provide clinical
decision support have become more and more important. The AMEOS Group is a
pioneer in Germany in achieving these new objectives'.
