The Cerner support portal is available to clients 24/7. Or clients can access Cerner via Cerner.com, uCern, online chat or the Cerner Support hotline.
Cerner takes security serious. They recommend every client have a Web Security Officer (WSO) who designates a person(s) at the organization to be responsible for controlling and granting access levels to an organization’s users.
THE CERNER DIFFERNCE
Cerner is an obvious choice as a top consideration for the vendor selection process and can provide scale due to its position in the health technology space. In an attempt to simplify how a practice interacts with its web based applications, Cerner introduced Cerner Care “a single sign on platform for most Cerner online applications and support websites for healthcare providers, healthcare IT professionals and partners.” Once this is set-up, you can sign in once (SSO) to access multiple web-based apps instead of having to manage various usernames and passwords.
Additionally, Cerner is a frontrunner in technology and encourages innovators to build apps that “advance the health care industry through improved interoperability capabilities” through its Cerner Open Developer Experience (code).
