Salem (Ill.) Township Hospital, a 25-bed critical access hospital, is moving from an athenahealth EHR, according to the Aug. 28 story.

“We’re only three weeks away from Epic go-live as of yesterday,” hospital CEO James Timpe told the hospital board Aug. 28, according to the news outlet. “We’re actually going to be at the parade in October passing out flyers for people to get signed up to see their own medical records online through Epic. It’s a great system. It’s the No. 1 system in the country and we’re very lucky as a small hospital to be on it, so we’re looking forward to it.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
