MY NAME IS JENNA
I'M A VIRTUAL MANAGER. AN EDUCATOR.
I am a Team Lead, Program Manager for the Adoption Coaching team
within Consulting.
My team is a 100% travel team so a lot of the work I do managing
this team is in regards to travel, expense reports, and working on
client sites away from Kansas City. I also act as the Learning
Partner for our team and provide all of the training/onboarding
for our new associates, coordinate training for ongoing education
for the rest of the team and ensure they are compliant on all
Corporate Required Training. When I joined the team, one of the
first projects I took on was reorganizing and updating our
onboarding process for new associates. My goal was to create a
“one-stop-shop” for new associates as they begin their careers at
Cerner. Ultimately, I was able to create a virtual "New Hire
Guide" that contains all of the files and links I would normally
have sent via email or Teams. Now I am able to share one link and
an associate has access to everything they need to be successful
in their first few months. It has allowed me to be more effective
in how I train new associates as well as ensure that the content
and messaging is up-to-date and consistent each time a new coach
joins our team. By moving everything to the cloud via SharePoint
our associates can now access the content from their phones, so
while they are on the road or in the airport they can stay
connected and engaged on what is happening and can see the latest
learning updates.

I act as the end-user proxy to my engineering team where I communicate the ask from the end user or strategist to my engineering teams.In my role, I help break down the high-level capability into smaller features and define what needs to be implemented as part of each feature. Once the product or the workflow has been implemented, I ensure that we developed all the features that were requested and demo it to all the stakeholders. When the client asks for a feature, things are still at a very high level. It is important break this down in clear requirements so that the developers understand their expectation from the task. I act as a liaison between the healthcare professionals and engineering community and represent the voice of client throughout the lifecycle of the product. Cerner has been my first job and I was recruited via campus placements. I have enjoyed every moment since the day I joined.

leadership teams.
I have responsibility for the Health Network Realization teams in
Bangalore. We work on on-boarding data onto the Population Health
solutions, clinical code standardization, data quality, data
analytics and data science applications. We believe the best way
to start managing populations is one person at a time. Our
comprehensive suite of solutions and services enable our clients
to know, engage and manage at both a person and population level.
Our products connect and transform clinical and non-clinical data
from disparate electronic health records into meaningful insights.
This gives care team members the tools to identify anomalies,
focus on treating the person and spend less time identifying and
interpreting data. Once strategies have been implemented,
analytics can help monitor performance and adjust strategies as
needed to help attain results. Our proactive approach places the
person at the center of health and care with their family and
health care stakeholders acting as a support system.

requirements needed for any new collaboration from the PMO

great collaborators. The line of work and activities performed by
the team are one of many important aspects. My team is constantly
looking to reduce non-value add wastes and streamline the

My team had a mission to reduce scheduled downtimes at client

are released. By keeping systems current on patching, we
eliminated extended downtimes and reduced the number of
unanticipated extended downtimes. Our ESM solution has had a
marked impact on patch compliance at our client sites. We have
been able to improve compliance on systems we manage at many of
our client sites now.

I work as a database administrator, where my team and I work to keep the servers up and running; manage databases to keep data available to client and users with authorized access.My job is to make sure data isavailable to those who have access to it. Database Administrator work is something that can at times get monotonous; manually doing the same work repeatedly. This could lead to depleted interest levels in the team. I look for ways to automate any work that has been done manually repeatedly. This also helps the team come up with new ideas and improve efficiency. We provide proactive monitoring for all the SQL Servers managed in Cerner. This helps us save time and resources by automating solutions.

I am responsible for reviewing, investigating and developing
tailored solutions for our clients. Because my team and I are
always juggling multiple projects, we have to be sure our process
is thorough, clear and consistent. To optimize our process and
streamline project lifecycles, my team and I applied LEAN
principles to create a system that now works for us. Our teams
have instant, up-to-date access to project status, we can plug in
new resources seamlessly, and we can speed more client requests
through the pipeline for even greater impact. In fact, our
completion is on track to increase by 300% year-over-year.

MY NAME IS BRITTANY
I'M AN ACADEMY CONSULTANT. A GUARDIAN.
I implement early warning systems.
I work hand-in-hand with our clients and leadership teams to
facilitate projects’ strategy, design, execution and
delivery. Our team responded to a need for better sepsis
detection—the timing of which can be the difference between
life and death. We were able to implement St. John’s Sepsis
Rescue Agent, a program designed to alert medical staff of
patients likely to turn septic. Within moments of the
program’s activation, clinical staff was notified of at-risk
patients and was able to successfully prevent further risk and
facilitate a preventive course of treatment. When I can help our
clients save lives, I know I’ve done my job.
My name is Brittany.

Cerner, I map laboratory and vital event codes to ensure those
calls are never made. It's my code mapping that feeds the Cerner
Sepsis Program to ensure caregivers are notified of at-risk
patients ahead of time. For hundreds of clients. For hundreds of
thousands of patients. Lives saved. Impact delivered.

scope to optimize efficiency. We also set out to clearly define
the solution set and technology needed to attain Meaningful Use
Stage 3, HIMSS Level 6, and many other targets that our clients

MY NAME IS JADE
I'M A SOFTWARE ENGINEER. A FORWARD THINKER.
Before coming onboard, I was a part of the Cerner Scholars Internship Program.
During that internship I enjoyed working on the Service Delivery Operations Team within Consulting. As a KCIT Apprentice, I work 20 hours a week during school and 40 hours per work during the summers with AMS CCL Custom Reporting Team. As a high school student, it can be imitating to work with adults that have been in the field that you hope to be in one day. It was a challenge to find how I could make a difference as younger associate at Cerner. My team was so welcoming and encouraged me to continue to seek answers and gain as much knowledge as I can. I was partnered up with several mentors that I was able to shadow and help with my daily tasks. Additionally, being able to work with associates’ side by side, inspired me to work harder in classroom. Overall, with the drive and resources Cerner has I've been able to grow through many roles at Cerner. As a Software Engineer, I build, and support report requests that are used by hospitals to help: reduce errors, maximize client workflows, streamline documentation, and increase profits for our clients.

MY NAME IS LIV
I'M DIRECTOR OF AMBULATORY AN INTEGRATOR.
In the Ambulatory space, large clients have struggled with how to
grow their clinical integration with non-owned clinics and
hospitals. These clients looked to Cerner for the answer regarding
how to technically achieve this and identify the model from an
operational perspective. Our Ambulatory leaders worked together to
develop the CommunityLink model, which is now Cerner's domain
extension model for clients to extend their domain to clinics and
hospitals. The CommunityLink model provides a way for our clients
to create clinical integration and has accomplished many goals. It
has increased the opportunity to provide more clinical
integration, not only to our clients, but cross-clients as well,
which will improve patient care and access to data.
My name is Liv.
I'm Director of Ambulatory.

MY NAME IS NEHA
I'M A TEST AUTOMATION ENGINEER. A QUALITY EVANGELIST.
I break solutions to develop even better ones.
I am the final line of defense between a great solution and a
perfect one. In my role, I question, test, and break-striving
toward defect-free systems for our clients. A particular focus for
my team and I has been to cease client-reported bugs related to
translation. So we developed Translation Testing, which has
reduced defects by seamlessly engaging all certified translators
in our Internal Domains well in advance. This has sped delivery
and enhanced quality to Cerner clients the world over.

I'M A SENIOR SOFTWARE ARCHITECT. AN ENGINEERING MARVEL.
I nurture a robust digital ecosystem.
I am part of a team that pioneered the creation and implementation
of HealtheIntent, Cerner's cloud-based health care platform. This
system runs on a service-oriented architecture leveraging big data
and exposing them using web technology. We've created a single
library of standardized code that helps reduce variance and
redundancies so Cerner engineers can do what they're most
passionate about-helping our clients. What would have been a
week's challenge in the past is now resolvable within a day, or
even a matter of hours.
There's nothing quite like it. Then again, there's only one

MY NAME IS TONYA
I'M A CLIENT OWNER. A PRIMARY CLIENT CONTACT.
I'm a client's single connection point to Cerner.
Internally, we are striving to improve the way we upgrade our
solutions to enhance the client experience and reduce the amount
of effort they expend. Case in point: I was able to secure a
partnership with a client and work across organizations within
Cerner to ensure alignment and better identify opportunities to
improve upon that upgrade process. This allowed them to stay
current in Cerner's Millennium® software with less work, learn
about new features and enhancements and adopt new solutions and
roll them out at a faster pace. As a result, this client has now
completed three Millennium upgrades in six months, keeping them up
on the latest release within weeks of its availability without
taking a single down time for their end users. We are also
identifying aspects of our solutions that can be further improved
and may allow us to shift the release model entirely.
