==Controversy== In 2001, a memo authored by CEO Patterson and sent to about 400 managers was leaked online.

In 2005, Cerner and other companies paid for a report by the RAND Corporation which predicted great efficiencies from electronic health records, including savings of $81 billion a year or more, which RAND now says is overstated. This report helped drive growth in the electronic health record and billions of dollars in federal incentives to hospitals and doctors. Cerner's revenue tripled from $1 billion in 2005 to a projected $3 billion in 2013. The Congressional Budget Office criticized the study for overstating potential savings. A 2013 reassessment of the 2005 report by the RAND Corporation said that the conversion had failed to produce savings and had mixed results in efficiency and patient care.<ref name="Abelson">Reed Abelson and Julie Crewswell, [https://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/11/business/electronic-records-systems-have-not-reduced-health-costs-report-says.html In 2nd Look, Few Savings From Digital Health Records"], ''The New York Times'', January 11, 2013.</ref>

===Sweden=== Following the US CLOUD Act, Swedish medical companies were concerned about the privacy of patient data stored by US data centers. As a result, Swedish patient data managed by Cerner was instead stored in Swedish facilities.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Cederberg |first1=Jesper |title=Skånskt beslut om patientdata väcker frågor om sekretess |journal=Läkartidningen |date=4 December 2020 |url=https://lakartidningen.se/aktuellt/nyheter/2020/12/skanskt-beslut-om-patientdata-vacker-fragor-om-sekretess/ |access-date=2 April 2022 |location=Sweden |language=Swedish}}</ref>
In 2022, the director of the Västra Götaland region sent a letter to Cerner claiming a breach of contract for deployment of the Millennium system. The letter alleged that there were numerous issues with the system that Cerner had declined to address. At the same time, the deployment of Millenium in the Skåne region was delayed.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Lärka |first1=Per |title=Skånes nya journalsystem sågas – leverantör krävs på stort skadestånd |url=https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/skane/vastra-gotaland-sagar-skanes-nya-journalsystem-och-kraver-stort-skadestand-av-usa-leverantor |access-date=2 April 2022 |agency=SVT |date=10 February 2022 |location=Sweden |language=Swedish}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Pramsten |first1=Sara |title=Nytt journalsystem drar ut på tiden – VGR vill ha pengar tillbaka |journal=Läkartidningen |date=14 February 2022 |url=https://lakartidningen.se/aktuellt/nyheter/2022/02/nytt-journalsystem-drar-ut-pa-tiden-vgr-vill-ha-pengar-tillbaka/ |access-date=2 April 2022 |location=Sweden |language=Swedish}}</ref>
In November 2024 the Millenium system began being implemented at some of the Västra Götaland healthcare facilities. The implementation suffered several issues, including serious problems with transcription which resulted in patient risk. As a result, implementation was permanently halted.<ref>{{cite news |title=Efter massiva kritiken – införandet av Millennium pausas |url=https://www.dn.se/sverige/dn-erfar-inforandet-av-millennium-pausas/ |access-date=10 December 2024 |work=Dagens Nyheter |date=15 November 2024 |language=sv}}</ref>
Skåne Region chose Millennium in 2016, and have done adjustments and changes in the system for ten years, without go-live. Skåne Region postponed yet another time the start of Millennium Jan 21 2026. The reason being "the system is not usable" and "not creating efficiency".<ref>{{cite news |title=SDV är inte redo för införande hösten 2026 |url=https://www.skane.se/om-region-skane/nyheter/2026/sdv-ar-inte-redo-for-inforande-hosten-2026/ |access-date=21 January 2026 |work=Skane Region |date=21 January 2026 |language=sv}}</ref>
