Cerner Corp. is once again the top performing enterprise health information exchange (HIE) supplier for inpatient/ambulatory health information technology, according to Black Book Rankings’ 2015 HIE User Survey. This marks the third consecutive year that Cerner has earned the designation.

Cerner was also ranked No. 1 among all HIE suppliers, for: ease of transmittal and exchange; clinical system workflow and productivity; and quality reporting and communications. Among EHR-centric HIE competitors, Cerner was ranked No. 1 in: HIE stakeholder alignment; widespread integration and flexibility; data analytics and business intelligence; and configurations and interfaces.
