MU Health Care’s IT operations are managed by the Tiger Institute for Health Innovation, a private-public partnership between Cerner and MU. Lake Regional will gain access to the Cerner Millennium EHR through the institute. Capital Region Medical Center in Jefferson City, Mo., also recently collaborated with the Tiger Institute for IT operations.
The EHR will give Lake Regional providers access to a patient’s complete health history, from across Lake Regional, Capital Region Medical Center and MU Health Care facilities, and allow patients to get in touch with their caregivers and schedule appointments.
Lake Regional will also become a member of the Tiger Institute Health Alliance health information exchange, which connects Missouri hospitals, clinics and post-acute care providers.
“We are thrilled to partner with Lake Regional Health System to bring our academic system of care and shared medical record to the Lake of the Ozarks,” said Jonathan Curtright, CEO of MU Health Care. “We are confident that this extension will ultimately enhance coordination of care across the lake region and that the patient experience will be enriched.”
