Digital imaging is a critical component of any comprehensive electronic medical record (EMR). Clinicians must be able to store, manage and access all types of multimedia content — from radiology images (PACS) and ECGs, to video, digital photos, scanned documents, audio and waveform data.

Cerner has created a health care platform capable of handling all imaging and media generated as a byproduct of the care process. The platform, CareAware™ Multimedia, helps ensure that all of this visual information is available to physicians, nurses and clinicians, and integrated into the EMR.

The platform is built on Cerner’s belief that a person-centric EMR is the best foundation for safe, efficient patient care. CareAware Multimedia helps automate image-centric workflows to create an image-enabled or visual EMR. CareAware Multimedia and the visual EMR connect the clinician with the right information at the right time.
