Modern Healthcare: After Banner Health spent $45 million to install Cerner Corp. electronic health record software at its Tucson, Ariz., facilities, providers allegedly committed more medical errors and the not-for-profit health system saw financial declines.
Banner Health implemented Cerner's EHR on Oct. 1, 2017, replacing software made by Epic Systems. The health system faced losses, with university delivery operations losing $155.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. That decline was "largely attributable to a conversation of the EHR and billing systems for the medical center and faculty practice plan in Tucson," according to a Banner financial report.
