Aunt Bertha’s Search & Referral feature connects hospitals, clinics, and Community Based Organizations (CBOs) to better manage a population’s Social Determinants of Health (SDoH). Our network of participating CBOs spans the entire United States, including rural communities. With multiple entities closing the loop, you’ll know whether or not your patients received the services you referred them to. Cerner users have a seamless integration experience including real-time referral tracking, multi-touch status updates, and more. It’s easy to launch Aunt Bertha within Cerner to search, refer, and view the full patient profile.
