Cerner Integration
Clinical operations workflow, order management, and departmental coordination.
Overview
Analyze Cerner clinical operations including order management workflows, departmental coordination, and scheduling efficiency. Corvana maps how clinical work moves through your health system without accessing PHI.
Prerequisites
- Cerner admin access
- Corvana healthcare module
- Executed BAA
OAuth Scopes
Corvana requests the minimum necessary permissions — always read-only. The following scopes are requested during the OAuth authorization flow:
| Scope | Access Level |
|---|---|
read (FHIR R4) | Read-only |
Data We Collect
Corvana collects only structural metadata — never content, PII, or sensitive data. The following data points are analyzed:
- Order lifecycle timestamps
- Department transfer patterns
- Scheduling utilization
- Care team coordination metrics
- Bed management flow patterns
Data We Never Collect
To protect your privacy and security, the following data is explicitly excluded from collection:
- Never: Patient identifiers or demographics
- Never: Clinical documentation
- Never: Lab or imaging results
- Never: Medication records
- Never: Billing information
Setup Steps
Step 1: Navigate to Integrations
From your Corvana Assess dashboard, open the left sidebar and click Integrations.
Step 2: Connect Cerner
Find the Cerner card and click Connect Cerner. This initiates the OAuth flow.
Step 3: Authorize Access
Review the requested permissions on Cerner's authorization page and click Allow. Corvana requests read-only access only.
Step 4: Verify Connection
Return to the Corvana dashboard. The Cerner card should now show "Connected" with a green indicator. Data collection begins within minutes.
Disconnecting
You can disconnect Cerner at any time from the Integrations dashboard. Click the connected Cerner card and select Disconnect. All collected metadata is permanently deleted within 24 hours. You can also revoke access directly from Cerner's admin panel.
Troubleshooting
The Cerner connection shows "Disconnected"
Try reconnecting from the Integrations dashboard. If the issue persists, check that your Cerner admin has not revoked the OAuth authorization.
I don't see any data after connecting
Data collection typically begins within 5-10 minutes. If no data appears after 30 minutes, check your connection status and ensure the account has the required permissions.
