Cerner is teaming up with the MIB Group, which provides data-driven underwriting services to life insurance companies, as the EHR vendor looks to build on its life insurance industry initiatives.
In March, Cerner partnered with New York Life Insurance Co., giving the New York City-based mutual life insurer access to – with patient consent – Cerner's hospital clients' EHRs in near real time.
MIB provides data-driven risk management and digital services; through the new agreement, MIB will manage access to 54 million patient medical records from Cerner, as well as 5,400 distinct patient portals.
MIB's clients will get access to medical records through Cerner's cloud-based technology and patient portals, which will be offered alongside MIB's other EHR and health information exchange partnerships.
