Cerner, Healthwise collaborate to offer health education, engagement at point of care

A new partnership between IT vendor Cerner and patient education solution provider Healthwise seeks to heighten patient education and engagement by integrating Healthwise solutions into Cerner's EHR.

Healthcare professionals using Cerner products will now be able to provide patients with Healthwise materials directly through the Millenium EHR, and educational content and instructions are also available through Cerner's HealtheLife patient engagement platform.

"By integrating with Cerner, we're giving clinicians and coaches easier ways to support their patients at every moment in care, including before, during and after visits, and virtual education and communication throughout the year," said Jim Giuffre, president and COO of Healthwise. "Easy-to-use, easy-to-understand, patient-specific education has the power to improve healthcare decisions and change behaviors."
