Speaking of Cerner … the company breaks down its Q3 revenue shortfall, which Mr. H summarized in a post last week. Regarding population health management, President Zane Burke noted though he was pleased with the company’s PHM progress, it represents “very little piece of bookings growth. The scope of many initial population health contracts are small because most clients are not at risk for large portions of their populations.”

  

Virtual Health appoints Tomer Benami (Apploi) vice president of finance and Dana Levin-Robinson (AccentHealth) vice president of marketing. The company has promoted Marcus Caraballo to senior manager of accounts.
