When making a go-forward enterprise decision, healthcare organizations must take into account how prospective partners deliver across a variety of key technology areas. This Cerner “complete look” provides a high-level analysis of the key IT systems that make up Cerner’s Millennium enterprise suite. (Other reports in the series do the same for Allscripts, Epic, and MEDITECH.)
Performance & Market Share Overview—Cerner Millennium Platform
Strengths
- Broad technology across the integrated Millennium suite; integration reduces third-party solutions and provides consistency across clinician workflows

- Frequently chosen by smaller organizations, who value Cerner’s robust clinical system and ability to scale to the needs of smaller hospitals
Weaknesses
- Patient accounting module a significant challenge for large organizations
- Has taken a less prescriptive approach to sales and implementations, leading to variation in customer success
- Transformational technology requires significant internal resources to set up and customize, limiting adoption
† Loyalty grade is a composite of customer ratings for the following standard KLAS metrics: would you buy again, part of long-term plans, forecasted satisfaction, overall satisfaction, and likely to recommend.

About This Report
Each year, KLAS interviews thousands of healthcare professionals about the IT products and services their organizations use. These interviews are conducted using a standard quantitative evaluation, and the scores and commentary collected are shared in reports like this one and online in real time so that other healthcare professionals can benefit from their peers’ experiences. The questions from the standard evaluation are organized into six customer experience pillars—culture, loyalty, operations, product, relationship, and value.
What Does “Limited Data” Mean?
Some products are used in only a small number of facilities, some vendors are resistant to providing client lists, and some respondents choose not to answer particular questions. Thus a vendor’s sample size may vary from question to question and may not reach KLAS’ required threshold of 15 unique respondents. When a vendor’s sample size for a particular question is less than 15, the score for that question is marked with an asterisk (*) or otherwise designated as “limited data.” If the sample size is less than 6, no score is shown. Note that when a vendor has a low number of reporting sites, the possibility exists for KLAS scores to change significantly as new surveys are collected.
Overall scores are measured on a 100-point scale and represent the weighted average of several yes/no questions as well as other questions scored on a 9-point scale. The customer satisfaction data in this report was collected March 2020–March 2021.
