Cerner Women’s Health solutions leverage the Cerner Millennium® and CareAware® architectures, enabling clinicians to provide comprehensive care from the ambulatory OB/GYN office to the acute-care maternity settings.  

Facts about maternity: 

• Delivery of a newborn is the No. 1 diagnosis for all hospital stays in the United States, with more than 4 million births a year.
• Obstetricians can expect 2.53 malpractice suits to be filed against them during their career
• Lawsuits average $2 million per case
• 60 percent of malpractice premiums are attributed to OB
• 72  percent of infant deaths and injury events originated with communication issues

While Cerner understands that Women’s Health encompasses more than maternity, we started with the end in mind – to have an integrated lifetime medical record. 

Why Cerner Women’s Health?

KLAS data from the most recent OB Information Systems Survey states that lack of integration between labor and delivery software and other solutions is a disappointment and concern among clinicians and providers.

Cerner fully integrates maternity information throughout the electronic health record. This means that all clinical information gathered during a pregnancy is accessible in real time, in a single location – whether the doctor’s office, the hospital, or the lab.

Several roles manage the maternity condition across the ambulatory and acute care venues. Currently, a broken medical record trail and redundant documentation dominate the management of maternity care, making it difficult for clinicians to provide a high level of care for mothers and their infants. 

Cerner Women’s Health solutions simplify what is available for automation – in short, the entire workflow needed for that specific role and venue is included within each package. 

Improving the timeliness and availability of data that all stakeholders access can improve outcomes in labor and delivery. Cerner is committed to improving the clinical workflow and creating a lifetime medical record for the 1+ million births at Cerner client facilities.
