Interim Statement Presentation

Interim Statement Presentation (Notes)	3 Months Ended

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Interim Statement Presentation	Interim Statement Presentation Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Cerner Corporation ("Cerner," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our latest annual report on Form 10-K. In management's opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Our interim results as presented in this Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using GAAP . These principles require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses . Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fiscal Period End Our first fiscal quarter ends on the Saturday closest to March 31. The 2019 and 2018 first quarters ended on March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively. All references to years in these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements represent the respective three months ended on such dates, unless otherwise noted . Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information Three Months Ended (In thousands) 2019 2018 Cash paid during the period for: Interest (including amounts capitalized of $3,797 and $2,811, respectively) $ 7,288 $ 8,199 Income taxes, net of refunds 22,511 (97,506 ) Voluntary Separation Plan In January 2019, we adopted a voluntary separation plan ("2019 VSP") for eligible associates. Generally, the 2019 VSP was available to U.S. associates who met a minimum level of combined age and tenure, excluding, among others, our executive officers. Associates who elected to participate in the 2019 VSP received financial benefits commensurate with their tenure and position, along with vacation payout, medical benefits, and accelerated vesting of certain share-based payment awards. The irrevocable acceptance period for associates electing to participate in the 2019 VSP ended in early April 2019. We expect the resulting pre-tax charge in the second quarter of 2019 to approximate $41 million. Such charge will be included in general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2019 Leases. In the first quarter of 2019, we adopted new lease accounting guidance. Refer to Note (6) for further details. Callable Debt Securities. In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities , which shortens the amortization period for certain investments in callable debt securities purchased at a premium by requiring the premium be amortized to the earliest call date. Such guidance would impact how premiums are amortized on our available-for-sale investments. We adopted ASU 2017-08 in the first quarter of 2019. Such guidance did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures . Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income , which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") to retained earnings for "stranded tax effects" resulting from certain U.S. tax reform enacted in December 2017. Such "stranded tax effects" were created when deferred tax assets and liabilities related to items in AOCI were remeasured at the lower U.S. corporate tax rate in the period of enactment. We adopted ASU 2018-02 in the first quarter of 2019, and did not elect to reclassify "stranded tax effects" from AOCI to retained earnings . Shareholders' Equity. In August 2018, the SEC issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification . Such guidance, among other things, extends to interim periods the annual requirement in SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 3-04 to disclose changes in shareholders' equity. Under the requirements in SEC Regulation S-X, Rules 8-03(a)(5) and 10-01(a)(7), as amended by this new guidance, registrants must now analyze changes in shareholders' equity, in the form of a reconciliation, for the current and comparative year-to-date interim periods, with subtotals for each interim period. This guidance is effective for filings submitted on or after November 5, 2018. We have presented a separate condensed consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity in this Form 10-Q in order to satisfy this new disclosure requirement . Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which provides new guidance regarding the measurement and recognition of credit impairment for certain financial assets. Such guidance will impact how we determine our allowance for estimated uncollectible receivables and evaluate our available-for-sale investments for impairment. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020, with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of 2019. We are currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, and we did not early adopt . Collaborative Arrangements. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606 , which clarifies when transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement are within the scope of the FASB's new revenue standard (Topic 606). Such guidance clarifies revenue recognition and financial statement presentation for transactions between collaboration participants. ASU 2018-18 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020, with early adoption permitted. The standard requires retrospective application to the date we adopted Topic 606, December 31, 2017. We are currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2018-18 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, and we do not expect to early adopt .

Contract Liabilities Customer payments received in advance of satisfaction of the related performance obligations are deferred as contract liabilities. Such amounts are classified in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as deferred revenue. During the three months ended March 30, 2019 , we recognized $150 million of revenues that were included in our contract liability balance at the beginning of such period.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 30, 2019
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements We determine fair value measurements used in our consolidated financial statements based upon the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: • Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access. • Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The following table details our financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis at March 30, 2019 : (In thousands) Fair Value Measurements Using Description Balance Sheet Classification Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Money market funds Cash equivalents $ 77,709 $ — $ — Time deposits Cash equivalents — 63,300 — Commercial paper Cash equivalents — 72,965 — Time deposits Short-term investments — 35,011 — Commercial paper Short-term investments — 85,618 — Government and corporate bonds Short-term investments — 279,880 — Government and corporate bonds Long-term investments — 1,317 — The following table details our financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis at December 29, 2018 : (In thousands) Fair Value Measurements Using Description Balance Sheet Classification Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Money market funds Cash equivalents $ 76,471 $ — $ — Time deposits Cash equivalents — 71,461 — Commercial Paper Cash equivalents — 10,000 — Time deposits Short-term investments — 31,947 — Commercial paper Short-term investments — 75,354 — Government and corporate bonds Short-term investments — 293,984 — Government and corporate bonds Long-term investments — 18,192 — We estimate the fair value of our long-term, fixed rate debt using a Level 3 discounted cash flow analysis based on current borrowing rates for debt with similar maturities. The fair value of our long-term debt, including current maturities, at March 30, 2019 and December 29, 2018 was approximately $438 million and $431 million , respectively. The carrying amount of such debt at both March 30, 2019 and December 29, 2018 was $425 million .

Lessee Disclosure [Abstract]
Lessee, Operating Leases [Text Block]	Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which introduces a new accounting model that requires most leases to be reported on the balance sheet. It also establishes disclosure requirements, which are more extensive than those required under prior U.S. GAAP. The standard requires use of the modified retrospective (cumulative effect) transition approach and was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019. We selected the effective date of ASU 2016-02 as the date of initial application on transition, as permitted by ASU 2016-02, as amended ("Topic 842"). Under this transition method, the cumulative effect from prior periods upon applying the new guidance to arrangements containing leases was recognized in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 30, 2018. We did not recast comparative periods. A summary of such cumulative effect adjustment is as follows: (In thousands) Increase / (Decrease) Right-of-use asset $ 129,652 Prepaid expenses and other 3,968 Other current liabilities 22,767 Other liabilities 110,853 Arrangements Containing Leases The cumulative effect adjustment above, is primarily comprised of arrangements where we are the lessee under operating leases for real estate (office, data center, and warehouse space) and certain dedicated fiber optic lines within our infrastructure . The duration of these agreements ranges from several months to in excess of 20 years. Generally, variable lease payments under these operating lease agreements relate to amounts based on changes to an index or rate (i.e. percentage change in the consumer price index) . We do not have any arrangements where we are the lessee, classified as finance leases in our condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition to the items described above, we also procure hotel stays and rental cars related to associate business travel, and the use of certain equipment for trade shows, client presentations, conferences, and internal meetings. We have made the policy election to classify such arrangements as short-term leases, as defined in Topic 842. As such, we have not recognized lease liabilities and right-of-use assets for such arrangements in our condensed consolidated financial statements. The duration of these arrangements is less than one month. Therefore, we do not disclose any short-term lease expense, as permitted by Topic 842. Expense for such items is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of such arrangements. Arrangements in which we are the lessor, are not significant to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Amounts Included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements The following table presents a summary of lease liability and right-of-use asset amounts included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 30, 2019 , under operating lease arrangements where we are the lessee: (In thousands) Description Balance Sheet Classification March 30, 2019 Right-of-use asset Right-of-use assets $ 134,137 Lease liability - current Other current liabilities 29,746 Lease liability - non-current Other liabilities 112,606 Lease liabilities recorded upon the commencement of operating leases during the three months ended March 30, 2019 , were $16 million .

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies Disclosure	Contingencies We accrue estimates for resolution of any legal and other contingencies when losses are probable and reasonably estimable, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450, Contingencies . The terms of our software license agreements with our clients generally provide for limited indemnification of such clients against losses, expenses and liabilities arising from third party claims based on alleged infringement by our solutions of an intellectual property right of such third party. The terms of such indemnification often limit the scope of and remedies for such indemnification obligations and generally include a right to replace or modify an infringing solution. To date, we have not had to reimburse any of our clients for any judgments or settlements to third parties related to these indemnification provisions pertaining to intellectual property infringement claims. For several reasons, including the lack of a sufficient number of prior indemnification claims and the lack of a monetary liability limit for certain infringement cases under the terms of the corresponding agreements with our clients, we cannot determine the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to such indemnification provisions. In addition to commitments and obligations in the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, including for example, employment and client disputes and litigation alleging solution and implementation defects, personal injury, intellectual property infringement, violations of law and breaches of contract and warranties. Many of these proceedings are at preliminary stages and many seek an indeterminate amount of damages. At this time, we do not believe the range of potential losses under such claims to be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. No less than quarterly, we review the status of each significant matter and assess our potential financial exposure. We accrue a liability for an estimated loss if the potential loss from any legal proceeding or claim is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether the amount of an exposure is reasonably estimable, and accruals are based only on the information available to our management at the time the judgment is made. Furthermore, the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, and we may incur substantial defense costs and expenses defending any of these matters. Should any one or a combination of more than one of these proceedings be successful, or should we determine to settle any one or a combination of these matters, we may be required to pay substantial sums, become subject to the entry of an injunction or be forced to change the manner in which we operate our business, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting We have two operating segments, Domestic and International (formerly referred to as Global). Revenues are derived primarily from the sale of clinical, financial and administrative information solutions and services. The cost of revenues includes the cost of third party consulting services, computer hardware, devices and sublicensed software purchased from manufacturers for delivery to clients. It also includes the cost of hardware maintenance and sublicensed software support subcontracted to the manufacturers. Operating expenses incurred by the geographic business segments consist of sales and client service expenses including salaries of sales and client service personnel, expenses associated with our managed services business, marketing expenses, communications expenses and unreimbursed travel expenses. "Other" includes expenses that have not been allocated to the operating segments, such as software development, general and administrative expenses, acquisition costs and related adjustments, share-based compensation expense, and certain amortization and depreciation. Performance of the segments is assessed at the operating earnings level by our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer. Items such as interest, income taxes, capital expenditures and total assets are managed at the consolidated level and thus are not included in our operating segment disclosures. Accounting policies for each of the reportable segments are the same as those used on a consolidated basis.

New Accounting Pronouncement or Change in Accounting Principle, Description	In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") to retained earnings for "stranded tax effects" resulting from certain U.S. tax reform enacted in December 2017. Such "stranded tax effects" were created when deferred tax assets and liabilities related to items in AOCI were remeasured at the lower U.S. corporate tax rate in the period of enactment. We adopted ASU 2018-02 in the first quarter of 2019, and did not elect to reclassify "stranded tax effects" from AOCI to retained earnings

Interim Statement Presentation [Line Items]
New Accounting Pronouncement or Change in Accounting Principle, Description	In August 2018, the SEC issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. Such guidance, among other things, extends to interim periods the annual requirement in SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 3-04 to disclose changes in shareholders' equity. Under the requirements in SEC Regulation S-X, Rules 8-03(a)(5) and 10-01(a)(7), as amended by this new guidance, registrants must now analyze changes in shareholders' equity, in the form of a reconciliation, for the current and comparative year-to-date interim periods, with subtotals for each interim period. This guidance is effective for filings submitted on or after November 5, 2018. We have presented a separate condensed consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity in this Form 10-Q in order to satisfy this new disclosure requirement

Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted [Text Block]	In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606, which clarifies when transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement are within the scope of the FASB's new revenue standard (Topic 606). Such guidance clarifies revenue recognition and financial statement presentation for transactions between collaboration participants.

New Accounting Pronouncements or Change in Accounting Principle [Line Items]
New Accounting Pronouncement or Change in Accounting Principle, Description	In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which introduces a new accounting model that requires most leases to be reported on the balance sheet. It also establishes disclosure requirements, which are more extensive than those required under prior U.S. GAAP.
New Accounting Pronouncement or Change in Accounting Principle, Description of Transition Method	The standard requires use of the modified retrospective (cumulative effect) transition approach and was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019. We selected the effective date of ASU 2016-02 as the date of initial application on transition, as permitted by ASU 2016-02, as amended ("Topic 842"). Under this transition method, the cumulative effect from prior periods upon applying the new guidance to arrangements containing leases was recognized in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 30, 2018. We did not recast comparative periods.
