Cambridge-based OhioHealth Southeastern Medical Center launched an Epic EHR on May 4 as part of a $29.1 million investment in IT upgrades.
The hospital is the latest facility within Columbus-based OhioHealth to adopt Epic, improving data interoperability across the 15-hospital system. The health system is calling its EHR CareConnect.
“This is a transformational moment for Southeastern Medical Center and the patients we serve,” said Wendy Elliott, president of OhioHealth Southeastern Medical Center, in a May 5 news release. “CareConnect will improve the quality and safety of the care we provide by giving our clinical teams immediate access to a patient’s complete health history. It also empowers our patients to actively participate in their care like never before.”
The hospital previously had a Meditech EHR. OhioHealth Physician Group outpatient clinics also went live with Epic on May 4.
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.
