MURRAY – Murray-Calloway County Hospital will launch a new electronic health record (EHR) system on Monday, April 14. The new EHR will replace our outdated system and provide patients with a streamlined and secure way to manage their health and wellness information electronically.
When the system goes live, patients may notice that a little more time is needed at their first several appointments as staff learn to work with the new EHR.
“We’re putting in extra hours and have additional staff resources to make sure everything goes smoothly, but we do expect a few delays as we get our new system up and running,” said Aaron Rucker, Chief Information Officer. “We want to thank everyone for their patience in advance as we make this essential technologic upgrade.”
Once the system is up and running, patients can look forward to an enhanced registration and check-in process, an easy-to-use patient portal that also provides a simple way to view and pay their bill.
The Oracle CommunityWorks platform was selected because it is specifically designed to meet the needs of critical access and community hospitals. With this platform, patient records will be more readily available. The system will also provide better access to patient record sharing.
With the installation of Oracle CommunityWorks, hospital and clinic patients will have access to a new fully integrated patient portal called “MyHealth”, offering a single source to view lab results, review their most recent trip to the doctor’s office or learn what to expect at an upcoming appointment and directly message their provider. The previous patient portal is expected to stay live for the next 9 months.
