The EHR install will begin in November and is expected to be completed in November of 2023. 

“It is the most used system in healthcare; I want to say that at least 70 percent of all hospitals use it, and that number is increasing by the year. So, because this system is the most commonly used across the United States, making it easier for us to use, access and transfer records,” said Greta Clemmons, director of marketing at Washington County Hospital and Clinics. 

The health system said the new system will help enhance patient care.

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.
