It looks like you've figured this out, but our policy is not to put new material on a page that has the "copyright violation" notice on it. That is probably why Simon P. reverted it. Also, it is not correct that you can copy material as long as you cite it. In order to be included in a Wikipedia article, the copyright holder must release it under the GFDL, which allows it to be freely redistributed. FreplySpang (talk) 17:16, August 11, 2005 (UTC) P.S. If you type four tildes (~) at the end of your comments, the Wiki software fills it in with a signature and date. This is useful for talk pages like this one. Thanks.
What are "associates"? Do you mean "employees"? Why does this page read like a press release? Ewlyahoocom 13:26, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
The responses to the article in Pediatrics shows that their study http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/116/6/1506 had some major problems. http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/eletters/116/6/1506 Responses to their article
Here's an excerpt from the first response:
"In conclusion, although the findings the authors observed are concerning, it is not possible to assign any causation. There are sufficient flaws with the authors’ analysis that it is not possible to conclude that risk-adjusted mortality actually increased. Further, if risk-adjusted mortality did increase, it was likely related to the way CPOE was implemented at this hospital, not CPOE itself." http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/eletters/116/6/1506
The controversy section should be removed from the article because there is no controversy.

I don't see anywhere on the web why "Cerner" was chosen for the company name. Americasroof ( talk) 20:44, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Rather than listing subsidiaries (all of which have the same name and no context on their former names), I would prefer a list of products. Americasroof ( talk) 20:59, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Yes, Cerner has created a new logo, and a recent edit correctly represented it. However, as noted, they are still primarily using the old one, and until the new one shows up publicly (e.g., on their web site), we need to continue to follow their lead. Ma t c hups 03:16, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Regarding the Phillip Longman statement re: Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh in the controversy section, the source cited (Washington Monthly) did not seem to direct to a specific source discussing the problems experienced at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. A quick search to find a suitable replacement source turned up a Wall Street Journal article describing the situation.
The article summarizes the same study referenced in the Washington Monthly article but also lists criticisms concerning the study’s methodology and conclusions from other scholarly researchers published in the same industry periodical. (I believe this link to be the “eLetters for Han et. al” which was previously cited). The WSJ also included a rebuttal by the hospital’s Medical Director at the time, Eugene Wiener. Wiener said “the study was just a ‘brief snapshot in time’ and that overall mortality rates at the hospital have improved each year since the new computer system was installed.” This statement appears to be in line with the results published by other hospitals who installed the same computer systems by Cerner like Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford and Seattle Children’s hospital; see this article.
The level of disagreement on which factors may have contributed to the increase in mortality rates for a grouping of patients at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh makes it questionable that the situation belongs on the Cerner company page. Currently, this situation is listed as an example of potential risks of computerized physician order entry (CPOE) on the related Wikipedia page, Computerized physician order entry. I think this reference is sufficient and the most appropriate placement, as the issue is more of a health care industry concern than a specific Cerner problem.
For these reasons, I feel this particular controversy doesn't belong in the Cerner article and would like to remove it. Please let me know if you agree or disagree.
Disclosure: Cerner has hired me to update its Wikipedia article, and this edit would be among those updates if the community accepts it. Thank you for your consideration. JNorman704 ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 20:10, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
![]() | Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. impemented most of this. some notes below Jytdog ( talk) 02:22, 23 July 2015 (UTC) |
I am requesting the following edits be added to this article, in order to update it and make it more accurate and reflective of the company today.
- In the infobox: UPDATE: Number of employees is currently about 22,000, not 15,800. [1]
- Intro paragraph: UPDATES for currency and accuracy. Please update the number of current facilities, hospitals, etc. to read along the lines of:
These solutions are currently licensed by approximately 18,000 facilities around the world, [2] including more than 3,000 hospitals, 4,900 physician practices, 60,000 physicians, 590 ambulatory facilities, 3,500 extended care facilities, 150 employer sites, and 1,790 retail pharmacies. SOURCE: : https://www.cerner.com/physicians_becoming_more_efficient_using_cerner_ehr/
As of February 2015, the company had 22,000 employees globally. [1]
ADDITIONS to reflect recent recent events in the company’s history. Please consider adding the requested edits after this paragraph: Its products include PowerChart, based on the Cerner CCL programming language, and Millennium e-Booking, which is providing a code base for Choose and Book.
Cerner acquired IMC Health Care, Inc. in early 2010 to continue expanding its wellness services to outside commercial employers, pharmacies and wellness programs. [3]
- I have added a new sentence to the end of the following paragraph to reflect a company update:
In July 2010, president Trace Devanny left the company. [4] "Devanny’s responsibilities will be absorbed by the current organization. Patterson will become the company’s president, in addition to his current role as Cerner’s chairman and chief executive officer." [5] In September 2013, Zane Burke was named president, assuming the title from Neal Patterson. [6]
- Please add this paragraph following the one above:
By the end of 2014, Cerner operated 35 health centers nationwide for organizations such as Hallmark Cards and Children’s Mercy Hospitals. SOURCES: Hallmark, https://www.cerner.com/cerner_launches_primary_health_network_pilot_program/?langtype=1033 Children’s Mercy Hospitals, http://www.childrensmercy.org/EmployeeWellnessCenter/
- Please add this paragraph next:
On August 5, 2014, Cerner announced its intent to purchase Siemens Health Services, the health information technology business of Germany’s Siemens AG, for $1.3 billion. [7] Additionally, Cerner and Siemens AG plan to invest $50 million each into an alliance for research and development. The acquisition was completed on February 2, 2015. [8] The acquisition was completed on February 2, 2015. [7]
UPDATES to this section:
Requesting that the last sentence (beginning "In early 2014") be removed from the following paragraph and moved into its own paragraph:
Cerner is headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. Cerner's world headquarters (WHQ) campus is across the street from North Kansas City Hospital, Cerner's second hospital client. [9] In 2005, Cerner acquired the Riverport Campus complex on the site of what was formerly the Sam's Town Casino above the Missouri River in North Kansas City, Missouri [10] In 2006 it also acquired the former Marion Laboratories complex in southeast Kansas City, Missouri, renaming the campus the Innovation Campus. [11] In 2013, the company opened the first building in a new campus development located in Kansas City, Kan. The company calls this the Continuous Campus. In early 2014, the company announced that it had begun a $4.45 billion campus construction project on the site of the former Bannister Mall in south Kansas City near the Innovation Campus. [12]
- Please update the above paragraph to read as follows:
Cerner is headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. Cerner's world headquarters (WHQ) campus is across the street from North Kansas City Hospital, Cerner's second hospital client. [13] In 2005, Cerner acquired the Riverport Campus complex on the site of what was formerly the Sam's Town Casino above the Missouri River in North Kansas City, Missouri [14] In 2006 it also acquired the former Marion Laboratories complex in southeast Kansas City, Missouri, renaming the campus the Innovation Campus. [15] In 2013, the company opened the first building in a new campus development located in Kansas City, Kan. The company calls this the Continuous Campus.
- Then, please add this new paragraph:
In 2013, Cerner announced plans to redevelop 236-acres in south Kansas City, Missouri into an office park. The site was previously occupied by Bannister Mall, which was demolished in 2009. [16] Cerner broke ground on the new campus on November 11, 2014. The $4.45 billion project intends to employ 16,000 new Cerner workers within the decade. [17]
Requesting that this section be deleted, as all the subsidiaries have been rebranded as Cerner and are no longer separate companies. Some of these links are dead, as well.
UPDATES: Please consider adding the following awards as updates to this section:
