Mergers and acquisitions are driving health systems to adopt new EHR systems.
Here are the hospitals and health systems that are implementing new EHR systems or extending EHR systems to other facilities due to mergers or acquisitions, as reported by Becker’s since May:
Hopkinsville, Ky.-based Jennie Stuart Health officially joined Evansville, Ind.-based Deaconess Health System. As part of the merger, Deaconess will invest at least $95 million into Jennie Stuart and fully fund Jennie Stuart’s transition to Deaconess’ version of the Epic EHR system.
In July, Elkin, N.C.-based Hugh Chatham Health joined Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist. As part of the merger, Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist will implement an Epic EHR system at Hugh Chatham Health.
In May, Berlin, Md.-based Atlantic General Hospital signed a definitive agreement to merge with Salisbury, Md.-based TidalHealth. The merger will provide Atlantic General access to an integrated EHR through Epic.
