Carle Foundation Hospital and Physician Group, recognized as one of the most wired healthcare organizations by Hospitals and Health Networks magazine, integrated OnBase with Epic to create more complete patient records. Carle uses OnBase to capture, store, manage and unify patient information stored both inside and outside of Epic, including electronic reports from laboratory and radiology departments, digital photographs and video files of cardiac catheterizations. In addition to streamlining clinical processes, Carle is expanding its solution across the enterprise to drive additional efficiencies, integrating OnBase with its Lawson enterprise resource planning (ERP) and Optum computer-assisted coding (CAC) systems.

"Hyland helps us leverage our technology investments by integrating with Epic and existing systems; empowering clinicians to provide more informed care which results in improved outcomes and patient satisfaction," said Jeff Ford, director of application management services at Carle Foundation Hospital and Physician Group. "Integrating with Epic, Lawson and Optum allows us to drive additional efficiencies and meet the requirements of Meaningful Use and ICD-10."

Hyland Software's healthcare industry experts will be available at the Epic UGM to discuss key solutions addressing challenges faced by healthcare organizations, such as:

• Establishing a complete, secure electronic patient record compliant with Meaningful Use
• Heightening physician satisfaction by providing immediate access to all the data they need
• Reducing costs by eliminating paper and disparate systems with a centralized electronic repository
• Streamlining clinical and administrative processes with content-centric automation
• Preparing for ICD-10 implementation using computer-assisted coding
• Centralizing and archiving clinical content such as DICOM, through Vendor Neutral Archive strategy
• Providing mobile solutions for end users to access their daily workflow
