Bisbee, Jr., a director of the Company, and Thomas C.
Tinstman, M.D., an officer and director of the Company
(together, the "Selling Stockholders"), on terms to be
determined at the time of sale (each an "Offering" and,

80,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
stock options by each of the Selling Stockholders.  The
Shares will be sold for the account of the Selling

they may from time to time sell Shares through underwriters,
dealers or agents or directly to purchasers, in open market
or in privately negotiated transactions.  See "Plan of
Distribution."

      The Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter
market and is quoted through the NASDAQ National Market
System under the symbol "CERN."  On November 3, 1995, the
average of bid and asked prices for shares of Common Stock,
as reported by NASDAQ National Market System, was $26.25 per
share.

                         THE COMPANY

     The Company designs, develops, markets and supports
computer software information systems for use in automating
the process of healthcare for providers, such as hospitals,
clinics, HMOs and reference laboratories.  The Company's
systems are designed to automate the patient care processes
for diagnosis and treatment of patients.  The systems
present information to healthcare professionals in a
comprehensive manner which emphasizes the clinically
significant attributes of the data while managing orders,
capturing and validating information and scheduling tests
and procedures.

     The Company was incorporated in Missouri in 1980.
Through a merger into a wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary
effected in June 1987, the Company became a Delaware
corporation.  The Company's principal executive offices are
located at 2800 Rockcreek Parkway, Kansas City, Missouri
64117, and its telephone number is (816) 221-1024.


                       USE OF PROCEEDS

     The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale
of Shares by the Selling Stockholders.  See "Selling
Stockholders."


                    SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

     The Shares which may be offered hereby are for the
account of the Selling Stockholders, Gerald E. Bisbee, Jr.
and Thomas C. Tinstman, M.D., both directors of the Company.
As of the date hereof, Mr. Bisbee owns 1,400 shares of
Common Stock, directly and of record, and Dr. Tinstman owns
600 shares of Common Stock, directly and of record.  In
addition to the Common Stock owned directly and of record by
Mr. Bisbee and Dr. Tinstman, each of Mr. Bisbee and Dr.
Tinstman has stock options to purchase 80,000 shares of
Common Stock.  The aggregate of 162,000 shares so held
constitutes the entire beneficial interest in shares of
Common Stock of the Selling Stockholders.


                    PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 The Selling Stockholders may from time to time effect the
sale of up to 160,000 of the Shares covered by this
Prospectus.  Such sales may be made in one or more
transactions in the over-the-counter market, at prices and
at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then-
current market price, or in negotiated transactions or
otherwise.  In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged
by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers or
dealers to participate.  The brokers or dealers engaged by
the Selling Stockholders will receive commissions or
discounts from the Selling Stockholder in amounts to be
negotiated immediately prior to the sale.  Such brokers or
dealers and any other participating brokers or dealers, as
well as the Selling Stockholders, may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in
connection with such sales.  The Selling Stockholders do not
deem themselves to be "underwriters" within the meaning of
the Securities Act.

reports given upon the authority of such firms as experts in
accounting and auditing.

     Certain legal matters relating to the validity of the
Shares will be passed upon for the Company by Stinson, Mag &
Fizzell, P.C., counsel to the Company.  As of July 27, 1995,
attorneys of such law firm owned in the aggregate 90,392
shares of Common Stock.


                      MATERIAL CHANGES

     There have been no material changes in the Company's
affairs which have occurred since December 31, 1994, the end
of the latest fiscal year of the Company for which certified
financial statements were included in the Company's Annual
Report to Stockholders, and which have not been described in
a report on Form 10-Q or Form 8-K filed under the Exchange
Act.


          INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware (the "DGCL") gives Delaware corporations broad
powers to indemnify their present and former directors and
officers and those of affiliated corporations against
expenses incurred in the defense of any lawsuit to which
they are made parties by reason of being or having been such
directors or officers, including expenses relating to
liabilities under the Securities Act, subject to specified
conditions and exclusions, gives a director or officer who
successfully defends an action the right to be so
indemnified and authorizes corporations to buy directors'
and officers' liability insurance.  Such indemnification is
not exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified
may be entitled under any by-laws, agreement, vote of
stockholders or otherwise.

     The Company's Bylaws provide that the Company shall
indemnify officers and directors, and to the extent
authorized by the Board of Directors, employees and agents
of the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by and in
the manner permissible under the DGCL.  The Bylaws also
permit the Board of Directors to authorize the Company to
purchase and maintain insurance against any liability
asserted against any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Company arising out of his capacity as such.

     In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
that directors shall not be personally liable for monetary
damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors
except for (1) breaches of their duty of loyalty to the
Company or its stockholders, (2) acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or
knowing violations of law, (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL
(unlawful payment of dividends) or (4) transactions from
which a director derives an improper personal benefit.

     The Company has entered into Indemnification Agreements
with the Company's directors, Clifford W. Illig, Neal L.
Patterson, Charles S. Runnion, III, David J. Hart, Gerald E.
Bisbee, Jr., Thomas C. Tinstman, M.D. and David M.
Margulies, M.D., which provides for indemnification of such
persons in certain circumstances.

     The Company has obtained directors and officers
liability insurance for each of its directors and executive
officers which (subject to certain limits and deductibles)
(i) insures such persons against loss arising from certain
claims made against them by reason of such persons being a
director or officer, and (ii) insures the Company against
loss which it may be required or permitted to pay as
indemnification due such persons for certain claims.  Such
insurance may provide coverage for certain matters as to
which the Company may not be permitted by law to provide
indemnification.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

                            PART II

           INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 14.   Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

     The Company will pay all expenses relating to the
registration and sale of the Shares including the filing fee
set forth herein and the costs of preparation, reproduction
and distribution for this Registration Statement and any
related prospectus and will pay any related accountants'
fees, legal fees and expenses (all of which individually and
in total are expected to be minimal and are currently
estimated not to exceed $2,500 in total).  The Selling
Stockholders will bear selling commissions and fees of the
Selling Stockholders, if any, none of which are currently
susceptible of reasonable estimation.


Item 15.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     (a)  The Delaware GCL (Section 145) gives Delaware
corporations broad powers to indemnify their present and
former directors and officers and those of affiliated
corporations against expenses incurred in the defense of any
lawsuit to which they are made parties by reason of being or
having been such directors or officers, subject to specified
conditions and exclusions, gives a director or officer who
successfully defends an action the right to be so
indemnified, and authorizes the Registrant to buy directors'
and officers' liability insurance.  Such indemnification is
not exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified
may be entitled under any by-laws, agreement, vote of
stockholders or otherwise.

     (b)  The Company's Bylaws provide that the Company
shall indemnify officers and directors, and to the extent
authorized by the Board of Directors, the employees and
agents of the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by
and in the manner permissible under the DGCL.  The Bylaws
also permit the Board of Directors to authorize the Company
to purchase and maintain insurance against any liability
asserted against any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Company arising out of his capacity as such.

     (c)  In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL,
the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that
directors shall not be personally liable for monetary
damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors
except for (1) breaches of their duty of loyalty to the
Registrant or its stockholders, (2) acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or
knowing violations of law, (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL
(unlawful payment of dividends) or (4) transactions from
which a director derives an improper personal benefit.

     (d)  The Company has entered into Indemnification
Agreements with the Company's directors, Clifford W. Illig,
Neal L. Patterson, Charles S. Runnion, III, David J. Hart,
Gerald E. Bisbee, Jr., Thomas C. Tinstman, M.D. and David M.
Margulies, M.D., which provides for indemnification of such
persons in certain circumstances.

     (e)  The Company has obtained directors and officers
liability insurance for each of its directors and executive
officers which (subject to certain limits and deductibles)
(i) insures such persons against loss arising from certain
claims made against them by reason of such persons being a
director or officer, and (ii) insures the Company against
loss which it may be required or permitted to pay as
indemnification due such persons for certain claims.  Such
insurance may provide coverage for certain matters as to
which the Company may not be permitted by law to provide
indemnification.

          distribution not previously disclosed in this
          Registration Statement or any material change to
          such information in this Registration Statement;

     Provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) above
     --------  -------
do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section
13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the "Exchange Act") that are incorporated by reference in
this Registration Statement.

          (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any
     liability under the Securities Act, each such post-
     effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
     registration statement relating to the securities
     offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
     that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
     offering thereof.

          (3)  To remove from registration by means of a
     post-effective amendment any of the securities being
     registered which remain unsold at the termination of
     the offering.

     (b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that,
for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions referred to in Item
15, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

Gentlemen:

          We refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-3
of Cerner Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on November 8, 1995 for the purpose of
registering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
160,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share
("Common Stock"), of the Company for resale by certain
stockholders of the Company.

          We have examined the Certificate of Incorporation,
as amended, the Bylaws of the Company, as currently in
effect, minutes of the applicable meetings of the Board of
Directors and stockholders of the Company, together with
such other corporate records, certificates of public
officials and other documents as we have deemed relevant to
this opinion.

          Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

          1.   The Company is a corporation duly organized,
     validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
     the State of Delaware.

          2.   All necessary corporate action has been taken
     to authorize the issuance of the aforesaid 160,000
     shares of Common Stock and all such shares of Common
     Stock as shall be issued and paid for as described in
     the respective stock option agreements shall be, when
     so issued, legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

          We hereby consent to the reference to our firm
under the heading "Interests of Named Experts and Counsel"
in the Registration Statement.  We also consent to the
inclusion of this opinion in the Registration Statement as
an exhibit thereto.

                              Very truly yours,

                              STINSON, MAG & FIZZELL, P.C.

                              /S/STINSON, MAG & FIZZELL, P.C.
