The Connecticut Children’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at UConn Health is switching to Epic’s EHR system June 28, according to a May 31 press release. The system will be available to all nurses and physicians in the NICU and all employees involved in the care of infants.
“This will enable continuity of care and interoperability for improved patient care and coordination,” said Patti Siegel, director of Epic inpatient applications in UConn Health’s IT Department.
The health system said the new Epic system will improve patient safety by reducing error potential, streamline workflows, create uniformity for clinical documentation and improve patient communication through MyChart, an online patient portal.
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.
