The program, Aging in Place, seeks to help adults remain in their homes after leaving the hospital by encouraging patients to engage with their health information.
Cerner will work with North Kansas City (Mo.) Hospital, K2 Consulting Solutions, LifeWise Renovations and Northland Shepherd’s Center to develop the program, and additional local organizations are also expected to join.
Cerner will provide its HealtheLife patient engagement solution to the collaboration.
“We are committed to offering case management care to Northland residents, and this program will allow us to meet the unique health care needs of the aging population so its members can continue living independently for a longer period of time with a reduced risk of readmission to the hospital,” said Judy Springer, vice president of quality and case management of North Kansas City Hospital, in a news release.
