KANSAS CITY, Mo. and ROSEVILLE, Calif. - Jan. 11, 2012 - Cerner Corporation (Nasdaq: CERN) announced today an expansion of its affiliation with Adventist Health, a faith-based, not-for-profit, integrated health care delivery system on the West Coast. The digitization of care processes now will expand across more than 130 outpatient clinics-which includes the largest California network of rural health clinics.

As an early adopter of health care information technology, Adventist Health started implementing Cerner's electronic health record (EHR) across all hospital settings in 2001. Adventist Health home care agencies also implemented Cerner BeyondNow® in 2009. This expanded relationship will complement the hospital EHR and homecare technology with a roll-out of Cerner Ambulatory EHR solutions.

Increasing the interoperability between the ambulatory, acute and post-acute IT platforms will allow Adventist Health to provide enhanced care coordination as patients move throughout the integrated health care delivery system. With the inclusion of the outpatient medical record, clinicians will have instant, secure access to the complete chart.

"This IT expansion project will enable Adventist Health to maximize its patient-centric focus by delivering clinical information systems within a single platform, and thus providing optimal health care information across the patient's continuum of care," said Alan Soderblom, vice president and chief information officer of Adventist Health. "Cerner understands our strategy to provide clinicians with the best clinical data along with improving enterprise operational efficiency. Cerner is committed to helping us achieve these goals."

Cerner is collaborating with Adventist Health on implementing a number of other solutions that align both companies' long term goals of digitizing patient care. This includes Cerner's Best in KLAS Remote Hosting Option, which provides proven and predictable data center services along with Discern nCode ® computer-assisted coding and Cerner Patient Portal. Adventist Health is also working with Cerner on advancing their revenue cycle solutions.
