Gunnison (Colo.) Valley Health, a licensed 24-bed critical access hospital, is set to go live with an Epic EHR system May 3, Crested Butte News reported April 16.
“We have a number of big projects; we’re about six weeks away from converting to the Epic electronic health record system, which really has the potential to be transformational both for GVH and for the people in the communities we serve,” Mark Kaufman, chair of the hospital’s board of trustees, told the news outlet.
Gunnison Valley Health currently operates on four or five different EHR systems, depending on the department. This fragmentation created inefficiencies in communication, data reporting and care coordination, prompting the hospital to transition to Epic.
