Cerner Supply Chain

1-

Most Cerner footprints require integration with the organization’s primary materials management system (MM), including item master and inventory management functions. Red Rock Healthcare Solutions (RRHC) supports the creation, integration, maintenance and optimization of the Cerner Item Master.

 

The Cerner Item Master drives physician preference cards1, equipment conflict checking & tracking, bar coding, clinical documentation, revenue cycle (i.e. Supply Charging), forecasting, and related reporting.

COMMON PROJECT TASK

Item Master Comparison, Validation, and Upload Preparation

  • Compare item master attributes between MM and Cerner when creating and/or improving integration or system transition

​

  • Matching on multiple attributes (ex. Item Number, Manufacturer Data, Packaging)

Key Item Attribute Analysis

  • Item Classification: Items missing an item class, and count of items per classification, identifying items potentially miscategorized

​

  • Manufacturer Data: Items having more than one manufacturer item association

​

  • Charging: Items having a certain cost threshold, comparing to supply charge designation, price mark-up calculations and related attributes

Cerner Revenue Cycle

2-

Patient billing functions may be within Cerner or commonly interfaced to another system. RRHC optimizes the integration from

Supply Chain -> Cerner -> Rev Cycle

Common Tasks

  • Review of historical supply usage, comparing charges with reimbursement

​

 

  • Analysis of client’s internal policies, industry best practices and regulations in comparison with the Charge Master

Alteryx Wins

  • ‘What-if’ simulations demonstrate the potential charge gain/loss based on a given charging model mark-up schedule, proposed policy changes, and forecasted clinical activity

​

  • Repeatability: Workflows used for client monitoring, controlling, and optimization initiatives without any ‘touches’ 

​

  • Repeatability: Existing RRHC Workflows utilized between clients without any needed changes

Cerner -> Epic Transition

3-

Red Rock Healthcare has assisted multiple organizations transition from Cerner to the Epic platform. This transition typically occurs due to M&A activity, corporate/leadership strategic and/or technical justification.

Common Tasks

  • Clinical Order Reconciliation: Prevent duplication while remaining comprehensive and/or following new policies/standards for all Orders when converting the Order Catalog.

​

  • Provider Preference Cards: 

  •         Item Master review

  •         Pref Card Pick List Item Analysis

  •         Reformatting of Cerner Pick Lists to Epic             upload formal

Alteryx Wins

  • Understanding (audit) of the variances between data sources, what was added, removed, and retained

​

  • Reproducible Workflows provide a means for us to replace our data sources, while leveraging our earlier work

​

  • RRHC Solutions get ‘smarter’ by leveraging previous clients’ data and results

DELIVER QUALITY CARE, CONTAIN COSTS, AND IMPROVE EFFICIENCY

The healthcare industry has been undergoing significant changes for decades. A combination of factors have, however, accelerated the pace of change, including government initiatives to increase access to care, value-based payment models, greater consumer involvement in healthcare purchase decisions and digitization of healthcare information. With change has come a flood of data, and increasing expectations from decision makers for analysis and one single view of the patient, overwhelming the IT organizations of many providers and insurers.

Alteryx helps healthcare companies improve their speed of decision making by providing data analysts and line-of-business users the ability to prepare, blend, and analyze data themselves, without writing any code and without any IT dependence or delay.

​

  • Increase access to care by analyzing local healthcare service needs and existing infrastructure availability based on location and patient data

​

  • Improve quality of care and patient outcomes by reporting & sharing relevant patient history and care data among all healthcare providers

​
