Flagstaff-based Northern Arizona Healthcare has announced Cerner will manage revenue cycle services for NAH's 38 ambulatory clinics, making NAH a comprehensive user of Cerner IT solutions.
NAH expanded its current contract with the Kansas City, Mo.-based IT provider to include Cerner Business Office Services and EHR solutions at the health system's two acute hospitals, 38 ambulatory facilities and more than 200 PathfinderHealth ACO providers.
"One health IT supplier supporting the entire health system will allow us to experience a level of integration and seamless flow of patient information that we have not yet been able to experience," said Marilynn Black, CIO at NAH.
NAH has been a client of Cerner since 1997.
"Cerner is proud of the value we've helped create in Northern Arizona's community throughout nearly two decades," said Caleb Anderson, vice president of ambulatory at Cerner. "We're excited to expand the relationship to include the PathfinderHealth ACO and encompass Cerner's BOS offering to help optimize the health system's revenue cycle processes and to drive additional value and efficiencies across the region."
