The NBA will use Cerner’s cloud-based platform, HealtheAthlete, to move away from its traditional paper-based system. According to the report, digitized athlete records will benefit the league in a variety of ways:
• An automated and unified system provides trainers and physicians better means to manage athletes’ care.
• Athletes can track their own data as well as exchange messages with physicians or trainers when they want to request prescriptions or schedule appointments.
• Health data will be searchable across an organization.
• When athletes switch teams, their data can easily travel to the new team.
