Cerner’s managing director of Southeast Asia, Rebecca LaNasa highlights the key importance that Singapore—as the company’s third office outside the U.S.—serves in implementing and piloting new forms of health care information technology (HIT), while elaborating on how the company’s comprehensive portfolio of solutions can actually help both developed and developing health systems across the region incur savings and improve patient outcomes.
How is Cerner structured outside the U.S.?
Cerner believes health care is local. As we’ve expanded to more than 35 countries, we’ve really looked to base operations either in the countries that we are serving or employing a regional spoke and hub approach in countries where we don’t necessarily have a very large presence.
"It’s important for us to be as close to our clients as possible because health care is an incredibly personal practice, and even more so when the care is being provided to you or your family."
