Model Experience, Unique Partner Solutions on Display to Showcase DoD’s EHR Modernization


KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 11, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cerner, a global leader in health care technology and a core member of the Leidos Partnership for Defense Health (LPDH), will demonstrate how the Department of Defense (DoD) plans to use Cerner’s Model Experience to transform care delivery for the DoD’s 9.4 million beneficiaries and 325,000 health care providers, in Booth 2032 at HIMSS16, Feb. 29 – March 4, at Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas.

LPDH representatives will join Cerner to discuss the off-the-shelf standardized software system and integrated solutions that will be used in the implementation. Highlights will include military-specific workflows, the first responder application, mass vaccinations and theatre synchronizations. Henry Schein, the provider of practice management software for dentists (Dentrix Enterprise), will also demonstrate the functionality and integration of its system.

“The partnership’s work across the past several months to deploy an open, secure and modern electronic health record to the DoD will have significant benefits for the entire Cerner client base and the broader health care industry,” said Zane Burke, president, Cerner. “Our collaborative effort has led to solution enhancements and data portability that are essential to achieving the free flow of information across all venues of care and creating a system that works for health care organizations working to improve the well-being of individuals and communities.”
