What is Cerner and how does it function? Cerner is a platform for managing clinic operations, including tasks like registration, scheduling, patient monitoring, patient accounting, and reporting. It offers integrated solutions for practice management and electronic health records (EHR), allowing users to easily navigate between features, track patient financial statements, and plan appointments all from one platform. With Cerner, users can access patient demographics, appointment types, and schedule appointments from a single screen. They can also find the earliest available appointments based on patient requests, make changes to appointments, record patient interactions, and view appointment histories. Additionally, Cerner allows users to view the calendars of individual or groups of resources. During registration, users can create insurance profiles, verify patient information, and process electronic data interchange (EDI) transactions. Real-time or batch eligibility checks are also available. Furthermore, Cerner enables the capture of important information and measurements in digital documents. Through the Health Life portal, patients can access their radiology and pathology reports, test results, health records, and securely communicate with their healthcare team.
