Cerner expands tools available for rural hospital clinical trials

Cerner said this week that it would offer additional clinical trial resources to community and rural hospitals, as well as physician practices, via an investment in Elligo Health Research.

According to the electronic health vendor, the collaboration will expand the tools available in the Cerner Learning Health Network to accelerate clinical research time frames and reduce the costs regarding bringing a therapy to market.
