OSF HealthCare Saint Katharine Medical Center in Dixon, Ill., is set to transition to a new electronic health record system April 1, Shaw Local reported March 17.
The hospital will go live with an Epic EHR as part of an upgrade aimed at improving care coordination, streamlining workflows and expanding digital tools for patients.
The transition will integrate the medical center into OSF HealthCare’s broader system, allowing care teams to access unified patient information across facilities. It will also introduce OSF MyChart, a patient portal designed to enhance communication and access to health information.
Hospital staff have spent months preparing for the change, beginning in September, with training, system development and testing to support a smooth rollout.
