Cerner Corp.
is working to improve health care for National Basketball Association
players, the North Kansas City-based company said Wednesday morning.
Cerner
(Nasdaq: CERN) is providing a simple, automated health care-management
system called HealtheAthlete to improve the standard of medical
record-keeping for NBA athletes. All 30 NBA teams will be linked on one
platform.
“The
NBA’s determination to provide quality care for its players is
demonstrated by its commitment to utilize a unified health platform to
address the health concerns affecting these athletes,” HealtheAthlete
Director Jason Wander said in a release. “Together, Cerner and the NBA
are compiling a complete picture of the health of NBA athletes to create
a seamless experience for providers, which will enhance the overall
long-term medical care of NBA players.”
Trainers
and doctors will be able to integrate data that includes medications,
notes, labs, specialist visits, X-rays and MRIs straight into an
athlete’s medical record and related personal health record, Cerner
said. The platform is tailored to elite athletes’ health care and
digitizes current sports medicine processes, the company said.
“Cerner’s
HealtheAthlete is an innovative approach to high-performance health
care,” NBA physician Jace Provo said in the release.
