OAHS Implements One Chart
Monday, August 1, 2011 brought another change to Ortonville Area Health Services and the patients we serve as we implemented our electronic health record system. The federal government has mandated that all medical records be electronic by 2014 and there is speculation that if any given medical providers records are not electronic by 2015 they will be subject to penalties.
Your records will be documented and stored in an electronic format. The electronic health record will also change the system that we use to schedule appointments, and bill for services. The Electronic Health Record program is developed by a company called Epic. Epic reported that about 1 of 4 physicians in the US will use Epic once their current rollouts are complete. Statistics reveal that 9 out of 10 healthcare patients will have their health record stored in an Epic (EpicCare) electronic record system.
OAHS will be using the same electronic medical records software that many of the major healthcare providers in Minnesota are using including but not limited to: Park Nicollet, Methodist, Allina Hospitals and Clinics, Fairview Hospitals and Clinics, Centra Care, North Memorial. A small rural facility like OAHS would not be able to purchase the product from Epic; however because of our affiliation with Sanford, we are able to use this product that would otherwise not be available to us
