Cerner Raises Costs on Department of Defense's New EHR

Thomas Dworetzky | Health Care Business | July 13, 2016

The Defense Department's giant health record effort just got a bit bigger – Cerner has bumped up its $50 million estimate on data center costs to about $75 million. The Defense Healthcare Management Systems Modernization (DHMSM) is presently set to cost $4.3 billion – so it's a relatively small bump up.

The document is extraordinary in its contradictions, sloppy formulations, and non-evidence-based conclusions.

Disrupting Healthcare IT - The Easy Way to Develop a Beautiful and Usable EHR User Interface
