Children’s Hospital, Cerner To Build First U.S. Pediatric Information Technology Center

Circle Connections: New Products & Services Children's National Medical Center in Washington and Cerner, a health-care technology provider based in Kansas City, Mo., are each investing several million dollars to build what they say is the nation's first health information technology center focused solely on pediatric care. Called the Bear Institute, the center will bring together physicians and medical experts from Children's Hospital and computer engineers from Cerner, the companies said Wednesday. It is intended to help the hospital more quickly implement existing and emerging technologies, such as electronic health records and data-driven treatment recommendations . . .
