Editorial Lauds EHR System at Santa Clara Hospital
A San Jose Mercury News editorial states that Santa Clara Valley Medical Center's new $220 million Epic electronic health record system should "lead to more efficient billing," boost "quality of care" and "significantly reduce" medical and medication errors. Based on VMC's "unique position in the ecosystem of Silicon Valley hospitals," the EHR's "capabilities will be exponentially more transformational," the editorial adds.
