Under the agreement, Yale New Haven will integrate its Epic EHR system at Vernon, Conn.-based Rockville General Hospital, Manchester (Conn.) Memorial Hospital and Waterbury (Conn.) Hospital.
The integration will provide “better quality care, better access to services and more convenience for patients,” according to Vin Petrini, chief policy and communications officer of Yale New Haven Health.
In addition, the integration would ensure participation in sharing data with a state-run project called the Health Information Exchange, said Ted Doolittle, Connecticut’s appointed healthcare advocate.
With the streamlined medical records from these hospitals, Mr. Doolittle said Yale New Haven has a new opportunity to participate in the state-based health information exchange, so that hospitals can “talk to each other” using data.
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.
