The Carolina-based community hospital system, Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital is set to implement cloud-based Cerner EHR Software,  according to reporting from elkintribune. By deploying the Cerner EMR system the community hospital will be able to streamline its daily workflows and enhance patient safety for better health outcomes.

Benefits of leveraging cloud-based EMR software solutions from Oracle Cerner

By using Cerner’s electronic medical records solution, Hugh Chatham Memorial Hospital will advance in patient care as it will have easy access to CommunityWorksSM, which is a cloud-based EHR platform. The cutting-edge technology of CommunityWorks is designed for community and critical access hospitals to meet their unique requirements.

The cloud-based software supports clinical, financial, and operational needs across the continuum. The integrated and high-performing Cloud-based EMR software solution will enable Hugh Chatham Memorial to become the best community hospital.

Once the cloud-based software is implemented healthcare providers will have smooth access to patient health histories using the national interoperability framework. This will also allow the hospital to provide communities with an integrated healthcare experience. The robust solution will help to enhance patient care and operational efficiency.

The importance of interoperability

Interoperability is one of the prime priorities of the health IT industry, and because of this reason more and more community hospitals and specialty hospitals are leveraging Oracle Cerner EHR software solutions. Greater interoperability options support the smooth sharing of patient data across the care continuum for improved care coordination and ultimately offer patients high-quality care.

According to a Cerner report, between April and June 2022, 11 new clients implemented Cerner’s CommunityWorks electronic health records solution.

Cerner software implementation

To ensure that the implementation is a smooth process the community hospital can benefit from a dedicated implementation team that offers pre-conversion, go-live, and post-conversion support. Training is important to ensure that the entire team at the hospital is comfortable with the new software system and reaps maximum benefits from it.
