Banner Hospitals also are ramping up on ambulatory software, replacing products from incumbent vendor NextGen with a suite from Cerner. That suite will include Cerners population health management software, called HealththeIntent and including registry and analytics modules to spur patient engagement in making healthcare decisions. Advocate Healthcare, which serves the Chicago region, is an early adopter of the PHM software.
With its relationship with Banner Health deepening, Cerner will relocate and permanently place some employees at Banner in Phoenix, starting with about 10, Burns says. These employees will provide additional technical assistance as both organizations collaborate on innovative ways of managing entire populations and improving outcomes. If development of standalone business products results from the collaboration, Cerner and Banner will pursue joint commercialization opportunities.
