Washington County Hospital and Clinics (WCHC) is excited to announce that we will be
implementing a new electronic health record. We will be transitioning to Epic on November 11,
2023. Nationally, Epic impacts about 70% of patients who receive care on an annual basis.
Moving towards Epic will make accessing care and health information easier for patients, family
members and healthcare providers. Epic will consolidate our disparate medical record system
into a single organizational-wide system, that also interacts with other hospitals and uses a single
patient portal, MyChart. With the new software, patients will be able to see medications, test
results, upcoming appointments, medical bills and more, all in one place. WCHC patients will be
able to access information from other local organizations (such as UI Health Care and Jefferson
County Health Center) as well as other organizations that use Epic.
WCHC is excited that we are able to continue to deliver on our promise of providing “more than
you expect for your healthcare” by moving to a single centralized and integrated system along
with a single patient portal.
