PHLB Earns Excellence Award from Cerner Corporation

Our hospital recently made the journey from a predominantly paper based workflow to an electronic medical records system (EMR) with Cerner Corporation, the largest provider of electronic medical systems in the United States. We selected Cerner to improve patient safety and quality of care, increase hospital revenue, and achieve stage one of Meaningful Use within a short time frame. Our small California hospital took on a big challenge as it sought to kick off 35 clinical and financial solutions and interfaces within 12 months.
This was one of the largest solution implementations in the West Coast for Cerner. Despite the daunting task, the outcome was a complete success, prompting Cerner Corporation to award PHLB with their performance Excellence Award. The hospital and Cerner formed a strong partnership which was demonstrated in the joint objectives for the EMR system, later named PEARL for Patient Electronic Access Records Live.
