Change is underway in the Cerner ecosystem—and for CIOs, CMIOs, clinical directors, and health IT leads, now is the time to prepare.
“Just think about crumbling infrastructure in a house, you’re not going to put new things on top of it. That was the conclusion that we came to when we looked at the Cerner technology, so what we’re introducing to the market is something that’s brand new,” announced Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager of Oracle Health and Life Sciences on October 29,2024.
Oracle Health plans to launch a new EHR that will be cloud-native and built with embedded AI and analytics. The move reflects a bold step toward next-generation data-driven care. But it also presents a significant operational challenge for existing Cerner Millennium clients that are facing end-of-life for the primary operational system of their business. This means every Cerner customer will need to undergo a full-scale migration to a new EHR, regardless of whether it’s with the same or different vendor.
“So many mission critical workflows run through the EHR that transitions to new EHRs can create serious disruptions and represent a herculean change management effort for clinical leaders and their teams,” said Mark Noble, CEO of ViTel Net.
“But it doesn’t have to be that way. Knowing that the transition is coming provides an opportunity to leverage a configurable middleware workflow platform that can maintain existing workflows and integrate with both the existing EHR and future EHR on the backend such that the transition becomes seamless for users.”
What’s at Stake?
For many health systems, virtual care and specialty service lines are now deeply embedded in clinical operations. But as Oracle Cerner clients begin the journey toward a new EHR, these high-value programs face a serious risk of downtime, data silos, and workflow fragmentation—impacting both provider efficiency and patient care.
Let’s be honest: no EHR migration is easy or without its challenges.
But it doesn’t have to be disruptive.
