Beebe Healthcare to Launch Connected Health Record for Patients Nov. 1
Beebe Healthcare will launch Epic, the nation’s leading electronic health record system, and its patient portal MyChart on Nov. 1, creating a single, connected health record for patients across its more than 50 locations in Sussex County.
Epic will provide a comprehensive electronic health record for patients, whether they visit one of Beebe’s outpatient locations or receive inpatient care at the Margaret H. Rollins Lewes Campus.
“This is a significant moment to launch Beebe into a future that will impact every aspect of our strategic plan and create a more patient-centered and comprehensive community healthcare system for the people of Sussex County,” said David A. Tam, MD, MBA, CPHE, FACHE, President & CEO, Beebe Healthcare.
“With MyChart, powered by Epic and Beebe Healthcare, we’re creating a single, comprehensive EHR platform that connects every patient, clinician, and care setting. Beebe will truly become a smarter, stronger, and more connected health system for every person we serve, reflecting our transformation into one patient, one chart, one Beebe.”
MyChart Portal Promises “Your Health, Your Way”
Used by more than 190 million patients nationwide, MyChart offers an easy-to-use design and mobile experience.
With MyChart, Beebe patients will be able to view health information and appointments online or through the mobile app.
Patients will see immediate benefits from a more unified care experience, including secure messaging with their care team, scheduling certain appointments online, checking in faster, and managing billing and family health records in one place.
Community Impact Outside the Health System
Epic will also give Beebe access to improved analytics to help its Community Outreach teams identify health trends, address gaps in care, and proactively manage chronic conditions across Sussex County more effectively. Beebe will improve connection with community-based organizations, local and regional partners to further address social determinants of health to monitor and improve overall community health outcomes across Sussex County.
“This is one of the many benefits of Beebe implementing Epic that I’m most excited about,” said Bill Chasanov, DO, MBA, Chief Health Systems Design Officer. “The Beebe team is going to be able to find gaps in care and address them with greater accuracy and timeliness that improve the wellness of the entire community.”
Epic is trusted by more than 3,700 hospitals and healthcare systems nationwide, allowing Beebe patients to share their health data securely with other providers and receive coordinated care even when they are outside Sussex County.
