Cerner to Discuss Healthcare Systems at Arab Health Congress 2012

An increasing population and the rising prevalence of lifestyle diseases in the Middle East are two reasons for the record growth that has been observed in the Middle East healthcare industry over the last few years. Cerner has announced that it will be attending the Arab Health Congress in Dubai later this month, to discuss ways in which healthcare systems can effectively manage this increased demand for high quality healthcare services.

As a leading provider of healthcare solutions, Cerner will demonstrate a range of cutting-edge health IT systems throughout the event. Various aspects of healthcare will be addressed including women’s health, emergency departments; critical care and strategic change management; surgery/anesthesia; and quality and performance improvement (LighthouseTM). A Cerner Smart Room^TM will also be available at the booth to demonstrate workflow software that focuses on enhancing consumer care and clinician efficiency.

As a Silver Sponsor for the Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR) Forum, Cerner will present a special session on the importance of strategic partnership in the future of EHRs from a clinician’s viewpoint. The Cerner Millennium® architecture allows for an integrated approach to health and care so that different care settings are joined together to treat the patient throughout the care pathway in order to deliver better outcomes.

“We are always delighted to be part of Arab Health as it provides an excellent platform for us to engage with key stakeholders in the health care sector in the region,” said Greg White, vice president and managing director, Cerner Middle East and Africa. “We will focus on our advanced health care solutions and services portfolio that cater to the growing demands of building a more robust, integrated and automated health system to increase patient, staff and physician satisfactions.”
