Boca Raton Regional Hospital has selected Cerner, a global leader in healthcare
technology, to provide an integrated electronic health record (EHR) system.
Cerner’s integrated clinical, financial and operational platform
will span Boca Regional’s acute and ambulatory facilities. The integration
of clinical and financial data across the organization is also intended
to help improve patient accounting across the continuum.
“From the emergency, pharmacy and laboratory departments to the
billing and scheduling offices, our organization will be on one integrated
system,” said Jerry Fedele, President and CEO of Boca Raton Regional
Hospital. “Our physicians and staff were involved in the selection
process and are enthusiastic about the decision to replace our diverse
platforms with one system that will house collective information from
virtually every component of our organization.”
As a U.S. News & World Report’s 2015-2016 Top Ranked Regional
Hospital that specializes in cardiovascular care, oncology, women’s
health, orthopedics, emergency medicine and the neurosciences, Boca Regional
physicians will benefit from the ability to customize Cerner’s specialty
specific workflows.
“For many reasons, we are confident Cerner is the right long-term
choice for us as we continue to provide high quality, cost-effective care,”
Fedele said. “Cerner is committed to our success and understands
our needs today, as well as our goals for tomorrow.”
Located in a popular south Florida vacation and seasonal destination,
Boca Regional often treats patients from across the country. For this
reason, Cerner’s interoperability functionality will help the health
system exchange patient information among providers across the U.S. using
industry standards.
“We look forward to transitioning Boca Raton Regional Hospital to
one integrated clinical and financial record,” said Zane Burke,
President of Cerner. “Providers will benefit from access to patient
records across the continuum and our collaborative efforts to enhance
the clinician and patient experience.”
