Oconee hospital welcomes Epic on Saturday

Saturday, the first of October, Oconee Memorial Hospital transitions to a new electronic record and billing system.  The system called Epic, has been implemented at other Greenville Health System hospitals and physician offices, is aimed at allowing the providers to more efficiently care for patients by operating on one electronic medical record system.  Epic is to make it possible for patients to have a central location for their health information.  The information is viewable through a GHS MyChart account available thru the GHS website or the GHS MyChart app.  With the account, patients can communicate with their physician offices, schedule and keep track of appointments, view their prescriptions and health conditions.
