On Aug. 1, the health systems signed a contract to merge, pending customary closing conditions and third-party approvals.
Under the agreement, SoutheastHealth will be renamed, most likely to Mercy Southeast, according to Ken Bateman, SoutheastHealth’s president and CEO.
SoutheastHealth will also get a new IT system and a medical records system.
“The intent is to put us on the Epic electronic medical records. That will be a huge lift for them to implement, but it will be a huge benefit for our clinical team,” Mr. Bateman said.
