The Epic EMR replaces 80 software systems across the health system, including billing, clinical, registration and scheduling solutions. Officials from Lovelace Health System and its parent company Nashville, Tenn.-based Ardent Health Services began the process to implement Epic in 2016.
Lovelace Health System’s Aug. 25 go-live marks the first health system under Ardent Health Services to deploy Epic. Amarillo, Texas-based BSA Health System and Tulsa, Okla.-based Hillcrest HealthCare System will launch the EMR in the next six months.
