Hospitals and health systems are accelerating their EHR modernization plans in 2025, with Epic, Oracle Health and Meditech emerging as leading vendors in a wave of transitions aimed at improving interoperability, workflow efficiency and digital transformation.
Recent Becker’s reporting highlights an uptick in go-lives, planned deployments and vendor switches — signaling growing pressure among organizations to adopt a single consolidated platform for electronic medical records.
Epic expands its footprint
Epic remains the most commonly adopted EHR vendor among hospitals making a switch this year. Several systems — including Gunnison (Colo.) Valley Health and Door County Medical Center in Sturgeon Bay, Wis. — are transitioning from legacy platforms to Epic to pursue more unified health records.
Ithaca, N.Y.-based Cayuga Health and Arnot Health in Elmira, N.Y., which joined forces to form Centralus Health, are planning a full Epic rollout across all sites this spring. Lexington, Ky.-based UK HealthCare is also preparing for an Epic go-live in 2026, while MyMichigan Medical Centers in Saginaw, Standish and Tawas — part of Midland, Mich.-based MyMichigan Health — went live with Epic in February.
The Epic Community Connect model is gaining traction as well. Utica, N.Y.-based Mohawk Valley Health System is integrating nearby Slocum-Dickson Medical Group into its existing Epic instance, strengthening interoperability across regional providers.
Oracle Health secures new wins
Oracle Health, which acquired Cerner in 2022, is also seeing momentum. Huntsville (Ala.) Hospital Health System plans to deploy Oracle Health’s Foundation EHR across all of its facilities. Meanwhile, Logan Health – Cut Bank in Montana transitioned to Oracle Health in February as part of a broader systemwide upgrade led by Billings Clinic, based in Kalispell, Mont.
Starkville, Miss.-based OCH Regional Medical Center also went live with a new Oracle Health EHR system on Jan. 27.
Meditech maintains presence among community hospitals
Meditech remains a key player, particularly among rural and community hospitals seeking scalable EHR solutions. Parsons, Kan.-based Labette Health is implementing Meditech Expanse to create a unified health record across its sites, while Uvalde (Texas) Memorial Hospital recently completed an upgrade from Meditech 6.08 to Expanse.
