Emory Healthcare will migrate from Cerner’s electronic medical record to Epic’s integrated and comprehensive health care software, effective Oct. 1, 2022. With this progress, patients can expect to see an advanced patient experience and care team members will find more integration and alignment of services across the health care system.
Emory Healthcare’s long relationship with Cerner has been productive and served its patients and community well. Moving to Epic will allow the health system to align its hospitals and clinics onto one integrated, modernized platform — accelerating quality improvements, supporting best-in-class patient experiences and improving the electronic health record (EHR) experience for care team members. The collaboration with Epic will also improve Emory Healthcare’s ability to seamlessly share patient records and care information within Emory locations and across organizations, while offering optimal self-service options for patients.
