A new way to keep track of patient records has been introduced at Aspirus hospitals.
A new electronic health records system called Epic will now be used at Aspirus Keweenaw, Ontonagon and Grand View hospitals. The implementation of this system allows Aspirus staff to chart patients electronically instead of keeping paper records and Regional Chief Nursing Officer Grace Tousignant adds that it also makes for a seemless transfer of medical records between providers and health care facilities, as well as within hospital departments.
