The Cerner Academic Education Solution (AES) is a clinical information system adapted to support healthcare curricula and classroom instruction. This system can be used in academic programmes that teach nursing, medicine, pharmacy, physical therapy, occupational therapy and health information management.

The Cerner AES supports instructors in the development of data-driven teaching cases for online presentation and instruction, supported by evidence and clinical outcomes. Institutions can use the Cerner AES to simulate patient scenarios through case studies to support curricula objectives, teaching and learning.

Trace Devanny, president of Cerner, said: The Cerner AES is the result of collaboration between Cerner and educational institutions that recognise the value of embedding healthcare information technology and clinical informatics throughout the curricula to better prepare students to be successful in automated healthcare environments.
