RIS firm Epic Systems of Verona, WI, has been awarded a contract from the University of Michigan Health System (UMHS) in Ann Arbor to provide clinical software and systems at UMHS.
Over time, Epic's products will replace and/or augment hundreds of clinical, research, quality, and business applications that were developed and purchased by UMHS over the past two decades.
Over the next few months, UMHS and Epic staff will analyze all the clinical and administrative processes that currently rely on information technology or paper and outline the ways to improve access to UMHS clinical information.
After this first stage is complete, UMHS will begin to convert its outpatient clinics and treatment centers, coding and billing operations, scheduling and registration systems, and its emergency department to run Epic systems almost exclusively.
