IRCCO Picks Cerner's HealtheIntent For Patients of Illinois

Cerner Corporation CERN has been recently selected by Illinois Rural Community Care Organization (IRCCO) to deploy Cerner HealtheIntent, the company's big data platform across IRCCO's accountable care organization ACO.

 

Notably, IRCCO is a state-wide accountable care organization, functioning through 24 critical access and small rural hospitals.

 

The development is likely to manage population health to ensure proper medical care for 20,000 Medicare patients throughout the state of Illinois. Further, the population health management approach will provide both the organisations an opportunity to exemplify improved healthcare.

 

Per management, this move will ensure usable health data at the fingertips of clinicians to support improved patient care and coordination.  Furthermore, member hospitals and providers will be able to use Cerner HealtheIntent to identify gaps in care, analyze population and enterprise data, as well as improve clinical decision making.

 

Cerner HealtheIntent: A Pivotal Ground

 

Cerner HealtheIntent is a real-time, flagship population health management platform of Cerner that enables health care systems to aggregate and analyze data, thereby creating a health record for individual members of the population.

 

In this regard, it can be noted that in the fourth quarter, HealtheIntent had played a significant role in adding to Cerner's earnings. The company ended the year with 144 HealtheIntent clients. Resultantly, population health bookings grew 42% and revenues surged 20%.

 

Furthermore, Cerner signed its first commercial health plan, according to which HealtheIntent will be the medium of serving more than 300,000 Medicaid and Medicare patients.
