Cerner has announced a partnership with the city of Nevada, Mo., to build a new model of health and care that will seamlessly integrate the two environments and create a Healthy Nevada. The project will aim to increase Vernon County and Nevada’s ranking in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation annual report from the bottom third to the top third over the next five years. Currently the county ranks 88 out of 115 counties in Missouri for health outcomes and 77 for health factors.

The project will focus on creating a culture of health in the community through education, incentives, infrastructure and partnerships with stakeholders such as the Nevada school district, local employers and community organizations like the Nevada Housing Authority. It will also work to further digitize the health care community in Nevada, including the deployment of Cerner’s CommunityWorks(TM) model at Nevada Regional Medical Center.
