AUVA Selects Cerner's Electronic Health Record
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Cerner Expands Presence in Austria
VIENNA, July 16, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Allgemeine
Unfallversicherungsanstalt (General Accident Insurance Institution, AUVA) agreed
to implement Cerner Millennium(®) electronic health record in seven emergency
hospitals and four rehabilitation centers. The new agreement will significantly
expand Cerner's market share in Austria.
"It has always been one of our main priorities to provide efficiency through
innovation," explains University lecturer Dr. Thomas Mück, deputy general
manager of AUVA. "We have found a competent partner in Cerner, an organization
that has pursued the vision to make health care safer and more efficient for
more than 30 years. Cerner's innovative information system will enable us to
work faster and be more precise, thus further increasing the patient care
quality in our hospitals and rehabilitation centers. The increased efficiency of
AUVA's information technology is another positive aspect."
"We look forward to an ambitious and innovative project which will allow us to
demonstrate our clinical expertise and extensive experience with complex
implementations. Together, AUVA and Cerner will look to improve efficiency and
patient outcomes, as well as digital decision support," adds Holger Cordes,
chief operations officer of Cerner Europe.
An essential part of the multi-year project will be the introduction of the
electronic patient record, electronic medication and the interactive digital
chronological patient timeline. In addition, the emergency department, order
management processes and clinical documentation for nursing and ancillary
departments will be digitized.
