Info

Use of Cerner’s Assets Cerner equipment, systems, facilities, corporate charge cards and supplies must be used only for conducting Cerner’s business or for purposes authorized by management. Personal items, messages or information that you consider private should not normally be placed or kept in telephone systems, e-mail systems, offices, work spaces, desks, credenzas or file cabinets. Cerner management may have the right to monitor these systems or areas at any time and therefore communications made and received by you on Cerner’s systems are not confidential. Please review the Rules of the Road on myCerner and posted each time you log on to your computer for more information. Cerner Business Systems Like other Cerner assets, these devices and the information they make available through a wide variety of databases should be used only for conducting Cerner business or for purposes authorized by management. Occasional and infrequent use of such systems for personal use (which does not interfere with your job responsibilities or the business use of such systems) is acceptable. For example, using e-mail to stay connected with family and friends while traveling on Cerner business is encouraged, but such personal use must be reasonable. However, all Cerner computers and systems, and data stored in them (including your personal e-mail and voicemail messages), are the property of Cerner and may be reviewed or monitored by Cerner without your knowledge or consent. Please review the Rules of the Road on myCerner and posted each time you log on to your computer for more information. Unauthorized or unreasonable use of Cerner Business Systems, whether or not for personal gain, is a misappropriation of Cerner assets. Recording and Reporting Information You should record and report all information accurately and honestly. Every Associate records information of some kind and submits it to Cerner. For example, Associates complete time and expense reports; certification analysts complete test reports; financial analysts record revenues and costs; consultants report time to be charged to clients, etc. Accuracy of all reporting is absolutely critical. Books, records and accounts for which you are responsible, must be prepared and kept in reasonable detail and accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of Cerner. Reporting Cerner financial and other corporate information to the SEC is a highly regulated activity. You are responsible for ensuring that information you record and/or report in connection with Cerner’s financial statements and related filings with the SEC result in full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosures by Cerner in its reports and documents that it files with the SEC.

Expense accounts are another important record. Associates may be reimbursed for reasonable expenses – but only if those expenses are actually incurred by the Associate for approved business expenses. To submit an expense: that inaccurately represents the purpose of the expense; for meals not eaten; miles not driven; airline tickets not used; or, for any other expense not incurred is dishonest reporting and is prohibited. Further, all client entertainment expenses must be in compliance with Cerner’s Policies and with local, state and/or federal law, which may limit, prohibit or restrict any gifts or entertainment provided to the client or the prospective client (particularly if the client or prospective client is a state or federal entity). See Cerner’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Conflict of Interest Policy, all located on myCerner, for more information. Dishonest reporting of information to organizations and people outside Cerner also is strictly prohibited. It could lead to civil or even criminal liability for you and Cerner. This includes not only reporting information inaccurately, but also organizing it in a way that is intended to mislead or misinform those who receive it. See Cerner’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Conflict of Interest Policy, both located on myCerner, for more information. Records Retention Associates are expected to become familiar with Cerner’s policies regarding Records Retention applicable to them and to strictly adhere to those procedures as outlined in the policies. Associates are instructed to follow all instructions they receive to “hold” documents if an Associate is notified by the Legal Group of a subpoena or a pending, imminent or contemplated litigation, government investigation or other official proceeding requiring documents to be held. Failure to comply with these policies will not be tolerated by Cerner and could, in some circumstances, result in criminal violations by the Associate. Professional Dress Your dress and appearance reflects on your professionalism and Cerner’s image as a competent professional organization that can be entrusted with providing the infrastructure for the healthcare system. The image we portray to all those who come in contact with Cerner - clients, prospective clients, suppliers, investors, recruits and advisors - is directly impacted by the appearance of our Associates. You should assume that any time you are on Cerner properties, you can directly or indirectly come into contact with clients or others. It has always been an important part of Cerner to project a consistent, professional image to our clients. Appropriate professional business attire is very much a part of that image. We continue to receive praise from current and potential clients and other members of the business community because of the professionalism displayed by our Associates. Our Policies are consistent with other professional organizations, combining appropriate casual and business styles of dress based on the client circumstances. See the Dress and Appearance Standards maintained on myCerner. Compliance to these standards is not optional.
