Why are Cerner and the University of Missouri entering into an alliance?
The University of Missouri and Cerner have had an existing relationship since 1996. As the state’s only land-grant, public research university, the university and Cerner share a common mission: to transform health care for Missourians. By creating the Tiger Institute, the university will be able to accelerate health care innovations to reduce costs and modernize health care for Missourians, create jobs in Missouri in health science and technology, create new sources of revenue and sustain the university’s mission, and work toward positioning itself among the top 5 percent of health systems for health care information technology.
