Salem Township Hospital successfully transitioned to the ‘My Chart’ electronic medical records program as of September 18th.
Hospital CEO James Timpe sees the new system being a great benefit to the hospital and patients.
“It’s going to mean we are integrated with a lot of other hospitals on our medical record,” Timpe said. “People will also be able to view their records at home and make requests for things like prescription refills online. This is the number one electronic health record in the nation, so we’re very proud to be able to offer that here in Salem.”
Timpe says the program even offers some safety features on medication for patients.
EPIC, which is the parent company of ‘My Chart’, remains at the hospital completing the final work. EPIC has been highly complementary of the Salem Township Hospital staff for their work on the conversion.
