CERNER
Cerner is used not only by laboratory professionals, but by medical professionals alike. This allows physicians and nurses to order and view tests, and crosses over for laboratory personnel to view. Doctors are able to chart their patient's information, view and order laboratory tests, and look up clinical histories.
In turn, laboratory scientists and pathologists are able to view the activity done on this patient through the same system, result and verify any tests done, and report any critical values. The previous laboratory values and tests are available on this system first hand, so that more than one medical professional can view this patient's "chart" at the same time. By the use of Cerner and Cerner MIllenium, it has made it easier for hospitals to now communicate easier with other clinicians and eliminate major errors.
According to Cerner, their goal is to "streamline administration, reduce costs, and enhance patient safety" (Cerner, 2011). By the use of this software in medical systems and hospitals, physicians are able to "share data and streamline processes throughout an entire organization", allowing for more efficient and effective patient care.
