Direct healthcare<\/a> company Premise Health today announced it has completed its transition to the comprehensive health records system Epic, marking one of the largest geographical and ambulatory roll-outs to date. The organization also celebrated exchanging more than 1.4 million patient records through the platform, an achievement that reflects its enhanced ability to coordinate care for patients throughout the healthcare ecosystem.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur transition to Epic has been a critical step toward delivering the fully integrated care that clients and members deserve, and that is required to enhance health outcomes,\u201d said CEO Stu Clark, Premise Health. \u201cEquipping our teams with a single electronic health record, aligned to our industry-leading clinical approach, has significantly enhanced their ability to deliver quality care over time, offering greater healthcare value.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clark added that collaboration with specialty providers in its communities is a cornerstone of Premise\u2019s vision to serve as the \u201chealthcare quarterback\u201d for members, ensuring they receive high-quality care in every setting.<\/p>\n

In addition to enhancing care quality and coordination, the transition to Epic allowed Premise to expand its integrated access model and enhance the patient experience, according to Beth Ratliff, the senior vice president who led the roll-out.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn integrated solution like Epic allows us to deliver unmatched value to our clients, members and their families by leveraging virtual care as an access point for patients directly through the platform via video and phone visits, and secure messaging with a provider,\u201d said Ratliff. \u201cEpic also drives an enhanced experience by allowing patients to schedule and check-in for appointments, receive preventive care reminders, and access after-visit summaries and lab results online through the patient portal, MyChart, on a mobile phone or computer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since the transition began, it has connected nearly 3,000 Premise providers at 347 wellness centers to community providers in all 50 states. All eligible Premise members have access to MyChart, putting important health information at the patients\u2019 fingertips and driving an enhanced experience. The platform enables Premise to seamlessly deliver care across multiple service lines, including: primary care, behavioral health, condition management, fitness, occupational health, physical therapy and wellness coaching, among others.<\/p>\n
