About

As part of the implementation process, TeleTracking can define and design the optimal processes and potential integration points with your Cerner system. These integration points are designed to reduce or eliminate dual entry, streamline your operations, eliminate multiple phone calls and improve patient flow throughout your facility by providing real-time information to those who need it most.

Here is a sampling of some of the most common integration points that contribute to positive outcomes. Additional integrations are available.
