"The agreement represents a further evolution of Tenet's Commitment to Quality. For the past several years, Tenet has been on a path to leverage technology to improve clinical quality and patient safety. By accelerating and expanding our implementation of Cerner Millennium solutions we will be able to move more quickly from paper charts and manual processes to electronic health records. This evolution will enhance clinical decision support and the exchange of information with community healthcare providers," said Stephen L. Newman, M.D., Tenet's chief operating officer.

Cerner Millennium solutions will be used at 47 of the health system's 49 hospitals, allowing clinicians to : Immediately access a patient's electronic health record ( EHR ), that has real-time information about past visits, lab results and medication history from any location in the hospital; Use computerized provider order entry (CPOE) to communicate, receive and take note of patient care decisions more efficiently and effectively; Reduce the chance for medication errors using evidence-based rules and alerts embedded within the system; and Create efficiencies through an automated workflow that eliminates time-intensive, duplicative processes and will help improve compliance with industry standards.

"The scalability of Cerner solutions will allow Tenet to expand their integrated healthcare IT network to 47 hospitals in nine states," said Trace Devanny, Cerner president. " Cerner solutions will enable Tenet clinicians to use a proven, evidence-based system to facilitate communication and decrease potential sources of error by having access to the right information at the right time."

The Cerner Millennium healthcare computing platform provides secure access to an individual's EHR at the point of care and organizes information to meet the specific needs of care providers, front- and back-office professionals and consumers. Tenet will use Cerner solutions to track process outcomes and trends, as well as identify best practices to effectively manage complex clinical and operational processes, reduce costs and improve care.
