Sending your medical history to a specialist or making sure your emergency room doctor knows about a recent change to your medications is about to get a lot easier.<\/p>\n

Starting in early May, patients at UCHealth Yampa Valley Medical Center<\/a> will receive an electronic medical record, or EMR, through Epic, the leading provider of electronic medical records in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cCurrently in health care, there are lots of silos,\u201d said Mark Clark, vice president of application services for UCHealth. \u201cYour doctor\u2019s office has a medical record; the hospital has its own. Now we\u2019ll be able to offer an integrated medical record to our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Health at your fingertips<\/strong><\/p>\n

With My Health Connection, patients have access to their health care anytime, anywhere. Review medical information, receive lab and test results, renew and refill prescriptions, communicate with your provider via email and more via the website or the UCHealth mobile app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Below, Clark and Dr. Gary Breen<\/a>, an internal medicine physician at Yampa Valley Medical Center and physician champion for the transition, outline what EMRs are and how they help in delivering top-notch care.<\/p>\n

EMR basics<\/strong><\/h3>\n

An EMR collects all of a patient\u2019s medical information, including lab tests, imaging studies, physician notes, medications prescribed, vaccinations and more, and safely stores it in one online location that is accessible to the patient as well as health care providers. With more than 190 million records, Epic is the leading provider of EMRs in the country.<\/p>\n

EMRs help physicians<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With an EMR in Epic, a physician can quickly see a patient\u2019s past medical history, including recent lab work, imaging studies and medication changes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an extraordinarily powerful tool,\u201d Breen said. \u201cIn the hospital setting, we\u2019re often seeing the sicker, more complicated patients, where time is of the essence. We need to know what their medical problems are and what their records show, which Epic allows. Ultimately, I can provider better and more timely patient care.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I see that an outpatient colleague saw this patient a week earlier and made an adjustment to medication or diet, I\u2019ll have more insight to what ultimately might have happened. Clinically, the more the data we have, the better.\u201d<\/p>\n

EMRs allow for better health care<\/strong><\/h3>\n

EMRs can also create efficiencies within the health care system, ensuring that lab tests and imaging studies aren\u2019t duplicated and helping to better inform all participating physicians.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe doctors\u2019 notes are shared, so there are fewer questions about why a patient is there, what their background is, what meds they are on,\u201d Breen said.<\/p>\n

Additionally, data trends are easier to access. Patient metrics such as readmission rates, patient satisfaction and medications prescribed can be summarized and reviewed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of power with Epic in being able to query your patient database that we currently do not have,\u201d Breen said.<\/p>\n

Since YVMC is part of the broader UCHealth system, local physicians will have access to the collective medical knowledge of the entire university system.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can leverage the best medical-based and practice-based specifications, providing more efficient, best-practice care,\u201d Clark said.<\/p>\n

Yet another benefit for physicians: more time with patients, and less time on paperwork.<\/p>\n

\u201cTechnology should be helping people; it shouldn\u2019t be a burden,\u201d Clark said. \u201cUsing a tool like this helps health care workers shift more time to talking to and caring for patients. And that makes for better patient care.\u201d<\/p>\n
