(Science Letter Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
Sharp HealthCare, a California healthcare system, has selected Cerner Corp. (CERN) as its clinical information systems provider. Sharp HealthCare will implement the Cerner Millennium clinical applications throughout its system of seven hospitals.
Sharp HealthCare has been a Cerner client for more than 15 years and this implementation expands on their existing agreement. The first implementation of Cerner's products will be in the existing Sharp Memorial Hospital in November 2007. In 2008, Sharp is opening its new state-of-the-art Memorial Hospital, which is being designed with a "paper-light" environment. This will entail direct physician order entry and complete online clinical documentation.
Sharp will continue a 2-year roll out to the remainder of its six hospitals utilizing the Cerner Millennium architecture, a healthcare information technology computing platform. It is one of the first enterprise wide, user centered technical architecture that spans clinical and financial processes across the health organization.
Sharp HealthCare, located in San Diego, is recognized for clinical excellence for services in cardiac, cancer, and multiorgan transplantation, as well as orthopedics, rehabilitation, behavioral health and women's health. The Sharp system includes four acute-care hospitals, three specialty hospitals, three affiliated medical groups and a health plan.
