EHR

The Choice Program was designed to shorten wait times and ease travel burdens for veterans. But Congress failed to pass the reform package last month.

The health system is building out the portfolio of mission-critical apps and services it can manage for hospitals moving those into the cloud.

Federal officials said that USCG’s requirements are almost 100 percent the same as the Defense Department and, unlike Veterans Affairs, the agencies can both rollout the electronic health record under a single contract.

The lab testing process can now be managed within the virtual care app, with help from Change's Intelligent Healthcare Network.

The agency has been operating with pencil and paper for nearly three years after a failed Epic EHR project with the State Department.

The online resource offers tips for accessing and using the information stored in electronic health records.

The hospital said that implementing one platform will enable it to improve care delivery across the continuum.

St. Charles has been preparing to go-live with Epic for two years and has spent that time getting staff on board and ready to launch.

The emergency department EHR enables caregivers to document with much greater speed, which helped knock down the door-to-doc wait time from 67 minutes to less than 30.

A major overhaul of the company's structure, with new standalone micro-services leading to more products than are currently available, just might result in "marvelous change," he says.
