List of Med Schools on EMR

For those of us just entering med school, or currently in it, we will no doubt spend most of our career using some sort of EMR. It seems like the choice of system may vary by region. What EMR system is your med school's affiliated hospital using, and/or the local hospitals in the surrounding area? Any thoughts on the functionality or work flow?

My local school OHSU uses EPIC, and the local hospitals are in the process of changing over as well. EPIC seems reduce the time it takes for to do med recs and order sets. The overview of vitals and I/O's are nice, as well as the customizable notes and smart phrases. However, writing a sticky note can take longer than grabbing a pen and yellow pad.

One of my best friends is on the EMR implementation team at UCLA's hospital. They are going to be using EPIC too, so you can put that hospital on your list.

From what he tells me, the system is flexible enough to do things like interface with physician's PDA's. Pretty cool stuff!

oops, wrong post

Ohio State will be transitioning to Epic in-hospital later this year (outpatient is already on it). The affiliated children's hospital (Nationwide children's) has been using Epic for a few years already.

Thanks for info everyone. Hopefully more will post, so this list can grow.

UAMS has Sunrise, the VA has CPRS (duh), the clinics use Centricity/Logician, and Children's uses Meditech, HealthPoint, and paper because they apparently want blood to shoot out of my eyes daily.

UVM uses Epic. Their former affiliate Maine Medical Center (now with Tufts) uses Sunrise.

For many systems it doesn't simply matter what software they are running, but also what modules the hospitals or practices wanted to pay for with that software. The returns on EMR have been iffy so far and way more determined by the amount of training the staff gets than the actual software involved in many cases.

Dartmouth transitioned to EPIC about a week ago....still a bit rough considering the training was atrocious and some doctors/nurses don't even know how to order a simple ua yet.

This is very true. Purchasing a EMR and not adding all the modules to make it fully functional seems counterproductive. Implementation is key. I'm working on the implementation for a large hospital system. The first hospital went live April 3rd, and they hired and trained approx 200 people just to support the physicians and their work flow. There are at least that many or more for the nursing staff. Without good support when the system goes live, it can be a total disaster.

EPIC controls 80% of the EMR market and will soon control all of it. ergo, this is a silly thread.

That's not quite true. Compared to the other EMR vendors , Epic has the smallest number of customers, primarily because they're extremely focused on the really big hospital systems (and thus are more well known). And since big hospital systems are most of the academics, that is why they are fairly well represented at medical schools.

Off the top of my head, Epic customers (live and installing) include case western (cleveland clinic), dartmouth, LSU, MCW (froedtert), Mount Sinai, Northwestern (outpatient), Ohio State, OHSU, Rush, MUSC, UMDNJ, UCLA, UChicago, Iowa, Michigan, Cincinnati, UTSW, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Vermont (Fletcher-Allen), Yale-Vanguard. A significant list, but certainly not all inclusive.

For MCW
Froedtert is on EPIC and Children's is still on Sunrise.
