Cerner and American Well partnered to integrate Cerner’s electronic health record portfolio with American Well’s telehealth platform.
The partnership will enable providers to manage care virtually from remote locations outside of physical healthcare offices.
The combined EHR-telehealth solution will enable patients to interact with the software through Cerner’s HealtheLifeSM patient engagement portal, which is designed to provide access to health information, provider messaging and broad interaction with care teams.
American Well chairman and CEO Ido Schoenberg, MD, said in a statement that the partnership benefits the companies “joint health system clients,” as well as patients and providers.
“Cerner and American Well share the belief that all aspects of healthcare delivery should be unified, continuous and patient-centered,” Cerner vice president Don Bisbee added. “We’re committed to developing a long-term strategy to align American Well’s telehealth technologies, services and programs to deliver an enhanced user experience within the Cerner EHR and ecosystem.”
