San Juan Regional Medical Center, a 194-bed acute care hospital and Level III Trauma Center in Farmington, New Mexico, will deploy an integrated clinical, financial and population health management system from Cerner.

The new technology replaces more than 75 health IT applications.

“This decision will provide our physicians and clinical care teams access to sophisticated information technology and systems designed to improve the quality and safety of patient care while also improving the efficiency of documenting and communicating clinical information throughout San Juan Regional Medical Center and its outlying facilities,” Jeff Bourgeois, president and CEO at San Juan Regional Medical Center, said in a statement.

San Juan Regional Medical Center will implement HealtheIntent, Cerner’s population health management platform designed to aggregate data from multiple sources.

San Juan Regional Medical Center’s clinicians will use HealtheEDW, Cerner’s enterprise data warehouse solution, to gain insights and analyze population- and enterprise-level data to improve care coordination across their community.

The integration of Cerner’s Millennium EHR and revenue cycle management solutions combines clinical and financial information within a single platform, which results in what Cerner calls a “Clinically Driven Revenue Cycle,” which is designed to enable clinicians and staff to update the billing process throughout the patient’s visit, enhance clinical documentation to help improve reimbursement and limit claims errors.
