Ensuring end user access, supporting clinical workflows.
The discovery stage is a data driven review of organisational technology needs, benchmarked against international standards and the standards of best in class organisations. This results in a prioritised roadmap focusing on the most appropriate investments and initiatives for your organisation.
During the transformation stage, Cerner and the client team will implement all the agreed recommendations and initiatives from the discovery stage. The scope of such an implementation will inevitably vary due to the specifics of the findings and the business priorities to be addressed at each organisation.
At this stage, the focus is on consolidation and adoption of the improvements achieved during the transformation stage. It is vital to embed the workflow changes of the project in order to realise the benefits of your investment and the partnership with Cerner.
