Project IntelliCare

To further our ongoing pursuit of clinical quality improvement, Adventist Health has invested more than $100 million its state-of-the-art clinical information system. Purchased through Cerner Millennium and named Project IntelliCare, this our single largest initiative in terms of dollars spent and lives touched. At any one time nearly 4,000 physicians and employees are using this technology to deliver patient care.

One goal of Project IntelliCare is to seamlessly manage the entire patient experience electronically by giving clinicians access to patient records, lab results, pharmacy support and more - all online. Of equal importance is the transformation of patient care processes to achieve the highest quality care.

This exciting new technology is enhancing the health care experience for both patients and caregivers. First and foremost, Project IntelliCare is designed to improve patient safety. By automating multiple steps in the patient care process, it enhances documentation, decreases medical errors, improves detection of adverse events and associated interventions, and provides guidelines, prompts and alerts based on best practices.

The patient experience also is positively impacted. At the heart of Project IntelliCare is a single, secure database that is available to everyone involved in a patient’s care. As a result, patients only have to give their medical history once and changes can be easily noted. Delays are reduced by making lab, radiology and emergency department results available online. Armed with this information, clinicians can make better, faster decisions.
