Overview

‍

Cerner, now Oracle Health, powers electronic health record systems for hospitals, health systems, and physician practices worldwide. As one of the most widely deployed EHR platforms in the United States, Cerner serves diverse care settings from large academic medical centers to community hospitals and ambulatory clinics. Stream Health's Cerner integration delivers comprehensive patient record consolidation and revenue cycle optimization through modern FHIR-based connectivity.

With Oracle's recent acquisition, Cerner is positioned at the intersection of healthcare and enterprise technology, making seamless data integration more critical than ever. Stream Health leverages Cerner's robust API infrastructure to retrieve clinical data, consolidate external patient records, identify revenue opportunities, and deliver actionable insights back into clinical workflows—all while maintaining the security and compliance standards that healthcare organizations demand.

‍

Key features:

‍

• FHIR API Integration: Modern, standards-compliant data exchange using Cerner's industry-leading FHIR implementation. Stream Health connects via Cerner's Open Developer Platform, enabling secure access to patient demographics, clinical documentation, lab results, medications, allergies, immunizations, and vital signs.

‍

• Bidirectional Data Flow: Consolidated patient summaries, NP-reviewed care gap findings, and clinical recommendations sync back to Cerner's chart, health maintenance module, and clinical decision support system. Providers see enriched patient data without leaving their Cerner workflow.

‍

• Oracle Cloud Integration: Leverage Oracle's cloud infrastructure for high-performance data exchange. Stream Health's integration is optimized for Oracle Health's cloud-native architecture, ensuring fast, reliable connectivity and minimal latency.

‍

• Revenue Cycle Intelligence: Our platform correlates clinical data with billing opportunities, identifying missed charges, undercoded services, and care gaps tied to high-value CPT codes. Revenue cycle teams receive actionable reports integrated with Cerner's financial workflows.

How it works

‍

Stream Health connects to Cerner via FHIR APIs through Cerner's OAuth 2.0 authentication system, establishing a secure, HIPAA-compliant connection to your Cerner environment. Our platform retrieves patient clinical data including encounters, diagnoses, procedures, lab results, medications, and clinical notes.

We then consolidate these Cerner records with external patient data from other healthcare providers, health information exchanges (HIEs), specialist consultations, hospital admissions from outside systems, and previous care episodes. This creates a complete longitudinal patient history that reveals care gaps invisible when viewing only Cerner data.

Our AI-powered analysis engine, validated by licensed Nurse Practitioners, identifies missed preventive services, chronic disease management opportunities, and billable care gaps aligned with HEDIS, MIPS, and ACO quality measures. These insights are delivered back to Cerner as structured data elements, appearing in the health maintenance section, provider notes, and clinical dashboards.

Benefits of integrating Cerner with Stream Health

‍

• Improved Care Quality: Complete patient visibility across all care settings reduces diagnostic errors, medication conflicts, and duplicative testing. Clinicians make better decisions with access to comprehensive patient histories rather than fragmented Cerner-only data.

‍

• Revenue Growth: Systematic gap-in-care identification unlocks $5M+ in new annual revenue for practices with 5,000 active patients. Our platform identifies billable opportunities tied to annual wellness visits (99387), chronic care management (99490), remote patient monitoring (99457), and preventive services that payers reimburse.

‍

• Value-Based Contract Success: Achieve higher quality measure performance in MIPS, HEDIS, and ACO programs through proactive care gap closure. Stream Health provides the clinical intelligence needed to maximize shared savings and avoid value-based care penalties.

‍

• Regulatory Compliance: Meet ONC 21st Century Cures Act requirements with certified FHIR connectivity. Enhanced clinical documentation supports risk adjustment accuracy for Medicare Advantage plans and provides audit-ready evidence for quality reporting programs.

‍

• Operational Efficiency: Reduce manual chart review time by 60-75% through automated gap-in-care identification and NP validation. Care coordinators receive prioritized patient outreach lists with specific clinical recommendations and CPT codes for billing.

‍

• Oracle Cloud Optimization: Built for Oracle's modern cloud infrastructure, our integration scales seamlessly with your organization's growth. Whether you're a single hospital or a multi-facility health system, Stream Health's Cerner integration performs reliably at any scale.
