Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, according to the Dec. 8 news release. As a result of the investment, Cerner will enter a commercial agreement with Elligo to offer additional clinical trial resources through its Learning Health Network, which aims to make de-identified clinical data more accessible for medical studies.
Since launching the Cerner Learning Health Network in February, the EHR vendor has welcomed 51 health systems to the initiative.
“Elligo shares our passion for making clinical trial opportunities accessible to every provider and patient,” Cerner President Donald Trigg said in the news release. “Our collaboration will accelerate that shared mission in the quarters ahead.”
