Who is Cerner?

Based in Kansas, Missouri, Cerner is an American supplier of health information technology, services, devices, and hardware. Originally, Cerner was founded in 1979 by Neal Patterson, Paul Gorup, and Cliff Illig. At the time, they were colleagues at Arthur Andersen. Initially, they went under 'PGI & Associates'; however, this was changed to Cerner in 1984, when they rolled out their first system, PathNet. After going public in 1986, Cerner's client base grew to 250 sites by 1990. Over the years, Cerner acquired a number of companies and technologies. Their global reach continued to expand. In fact, in 2015, they were one of several companies awarded a 10-year, $4.3 billion contract to overhaul and manage the electronic health records for the US Department of Defense.

Nowadays, Cerner has 24,000+ employees worldwide, including a continually expanding team in their Dublin office. Opened since 2007, this Irish base is the centre for Cerner’s European support operations, alongside an Irish consulting team.

Cerner in Ireland

The Irish subdivision of Cerner will develop eHealth systems and will work with the HSE to deliver the national Maternity and Newborn Clinical Management System. When implemented, this will connect all 43 HSE laboratories across the country. Ultimately providing much needed support to improve the delivery of diagnostic lab medicine. Other areas assisted will be healthcare quality and efficiency in the Irish healthcare system, with the goal of providing a better patient experience.

The project Cerner is developing in Ireland will initially focus on developing predictive algorithms to run on Cerner’s platform, HealtheIntentSM. The aim is to help clients proactively manage health and improve the well-being of communities. These advancements enable a shift from reactive care to proactive health.
