Children's National Health System will roll out Millennium Revenue Cycle, a Cerner suite of RCM technology that will be integrated with the health system's existing Cerner EHR and scheduling platform.
Children's National includes a 313-bed hospital with more than 50 outpatient facilities.
"Incorporating financial data with our clinical systems, all on the same platform, makes sense and provides an integrated billing, analytics and decision support experience," said Brian Jacobs, MD, vice president, CMIO and CIO at Children's National, in a statement.
Children's National and Cerner began working together in 2005 with the implementation of the Cerner Millennium EHR. In September 2013, Children's National and Cerner partnered to establish The Bear Institute, the first pediatric health IT institute.
"Our innovative relationship with Children's National through The Bear Institute offers us a unique opportunity to work toward improved delivery of care for the industry," Cerner President Zane Burke, said in a statement.
Since its founding, The Bear Institute has resulted in health technology innovations such as the highly visible Quality Boards throughout the hospital that display near real-time quality and safety indicators based on patient information.
