Macon Community Hospital (MCH) is the first of Cerner’s partners to deploy a virtual EHR solution. In March this year, hospital staff worked remotely with Cerner associates to implement CommunityWorks.
Cerner also upgraded technology across the main hospital and four related clinics of Clay County Medical Center (CCMC). The upgrade will improve interoperability between the hospital and clinics, as well as boost care.
In addition, Coulee Medical Center (CMC) agreed to switch to Cerner across its main hospital and two rural health clinics, while Odessa Memorial Healthcare Center (OMHC) will deploy Cerner EHR throughout its 25-bed acute care facility and outpatient clinic.
Opelousas General Health System (OGHS), which operates two acute facilities and has 150 providers, will move to CommunityWorks to streamline IT operations and leverage Cerner’s network.
