Keeping patient care at its highest levels is no small task and a high-performing system is essential. Hospital IT leaders know better than anyone that code upgrades are an essential part of keeping up to date with the latest regulatory compliance, patient safety, and provider and patient satisfaction.
Implementing Cerner® upgrades is critical for ensuring your EHR and its applications are up to date on bug/security fixes, new functionality and supported code levels. Upgrading without disruption or issues requires Cerner-specific expertise as well as a strategic, objective understanding of your system. As the nation’s leading Cerner consulting firm, HPG’s in-depth experience delivers smooth Cerner system and application upgrades, which in turn deliver strong system performance.
