The agreement aims to speed up the transfer of relevant, patient-directed medical records from health systems to the SSA, according to a Feb. 17 press release.
Currently, most of the medical records SSA receives are faxed or mailed, which is a process that causes significant delay in the disability determination process.
Through this collaboration, Cerner and the SSA will be able to automate data to ease administrative burdens, reduce costs and labor and eliminate the mailing of paper records.
Cerner will pilot the initiative with three of its clients in the months ahead, with plans to expand the offering to additional clients who elect to participate.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
