Miami-based Nicklaus Children’s Health System has begun transitioning its electronic health record system to Epic, with the implementation expected to be completed by summer 2027.
More than 5,000 physicians, nurses and staff across the health system’s three hospital campuses, as well as dozens of primary and specialty care clinics and outpatient centers, will use the EHR system to coordinate patient care.
According to a July 8 press release Nicklaus Children’s shared with Becker’s, the transition is intended to improve clinical care coordination, enhance the patient experience and make it easier to exchange information with other healthcare organizations that use Epic.
The health system said the implementation will replace multiple legacy or fragmented systems with a unified patient record.
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.
