SOUTH BEND – The Center for Hospice Care has named Cerner as its new software provider.

            It was chosen because of its plans to help the center reduce paperwork, offer remote access to charts, accelerate third-party reimbursement and securely share information between providers.

            Using Cerner software will allow CHC to partner with Michiana Health Information Network.

            “We are excited about this new step forward and the opportunity to provide the highest level of coordinated care possible for our patients,” said Dave Haley, vice president and chief operating officer for CHC.

            Haley said the collaboration between CHC and Cerner will allow all CHC locations in its eight northern Indiana counties to provide the most advanced patient care available.

            “This initiative is the next step for CHC to continue our mission to improve the quality of living for individuals across the community,” said Haley.
