Cerner Corporation, By the Numbers
Cerner Corporation, by almost any measure, is on a roll.
The world’s largest publicly traded health information technology company recently announced record results for 2015—its best year ever in terms of bookings, revenue and new business.
Last year saw Cerner acquire a major rival, Siemens AG, and outbid another rival, Epic Systems, to win the coveted EHR contract for the U.S. Department of Defense. As if that weren’t enough, the company broke ground on a massive expansion of its headquarters and campus in Kansas City, Mo.
With Cerner President Zane M. Burke projecting an equally strong 2016, we offer a quick look at Cerner by the numbers:
1 – Cerner’s rank relative to the revenues of other publicly traded health information technology companies.
2 – Cerner’s ranking on Fortune’s 2016 list of the World’s Most Admired Companies in the category of “Healthcare: Pharmacy and Other Services.”
