Electronic health record provider Cerner is looking to capitalize on a streak of successes in the government market. On an Oct. 26 earnings call, President Zane Burke said that the company was “in the early stages of government business contributing to our growth.”
Cerner’s government presence has been increasing since winning a $4.3 billion contract to replace a group of separate, siloed legacy systems across the Department of Defense. On Oct. 23, the Military Health System announced that the Cerner solution, called MHS Genesis (with Leidos as the prime contractor and integrator), went live at Madigan Army Medical Center in Washington state.
