Covenant HealthCare has used Epic for the past 12 years. By partnering with the 642-bed hospital, Mary Free Bed clinicians and patients will move to the same EHR to store patient health records.
The EHR transition is expected to cost Mary Free Bed $8 million, and the project is anticipated to take 18-24 months before the EHR system is fully operational, according to Grand Rapids Business Journal. Phase one of the project will roll out in 2021, followed by phase two in 2022.
