Modern Healthcare: University Health System—a 617-bed health system based in San Antonio—recently kicked off a systemwide electronic health record installation, scrapping its current Allscripts EHR in favor of one from Epic Systems Corp. It’s a high-priced project: between expenses such as purchasing the EHR, training personnel and retiring outdated systems, University Health is putting $170 million toward the transition.
The breadth of Epic’s client base played a central role in its decision, particularly as the academic health system’s primary partner, the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, has used Epic for several years.
