“This year’s finalists feature truly inspirational and innovative stories of how our Middle East client organisations have worked diligently with their leadership, care teams and IT staff to help elevate the health care experience for the communities in their respective countries,” said Michael Pomerance, vice president and managing director, Cerner Middle East & Africa. “The 2018 Achievement and Innovation Awards received more than 40 entries from four countries in less than two months. We look forward to continuing the journey of advancing health care together with our visionary client leadership.”
Cerner created the Achievement and Innovation Awards to recognise clients that have effectively enhanced value for their organisations and improved the health care experience for patients through health IT and the support of Cerner’s solutions and services.
