OU Medicine Chooses Epic Systems for EHR Implementation

OU Medicine and the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center have inked a five-year deal with Epic Systems as its new EHR vendor. After almost a two-year EHR selection process, the implementation is set to be completed in fall 2021. The selection of Epic as our electronic health record vendor represents a significant milestone for OU Medicine and our strategic vision,” said Chuck Spicer, president and CEO of OU Medicine. “Epic will provide our healthcare professionals a single stop for clinical documentation across the clinic and hospital continuum and will give them the important tools they need to provide high-quality care to our patients. Using Epic, clinicians at OU Medicine healthcare will be able to communicate across the university’s clinics and hospitals. This range of facilities includes the OU Medicine enterprise, along with the Stephenson Cancer Center and OU Physicians-Tulsa. Clinicians will be able to view patient medical history, lab results, and other forms of health information through the EHR.
