The project has been delayed since August 2022, CEO Pablo Velez, PhD, RN, told Becker’s. The hospital was one of 17 awarded zero-interest loans through the California Distressed Hospital loan program.

“The EMR project is needed to centralize data collection, sunset antiquated systems, improve patient scheduling and enhance revenue cycle processes that would generate greater revenue and cash flow collections,” Dr. Velez said.

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.
