Computerized hospital records

Is your institution using computerized hospital charts? Are they connected to all of your associated clinics, sites and local pharmacies? What is the name of your system? Do you see the patient benefits?

My institution is using Health Connect. We are completely integrated with all affiliated MD offices, clinics, pharmacies and surgery centers. You need your patient number and we have complete access. We have not yet transitioned to electronic charting for the anesthesia record (due to money).

Epic seems to be the preferred EMR provider in my area. The big hospital system here has it in their hospitals (in all depts) and in the outpt clinics too.

However, the other three hospitals have their own systems and sometimes two or three systems in the same hospital.

McKesson products seem all the rage at this time too.

Correction: The company we are using is Epic. The actual program we are using is called Health Connect.

Just wondering: Do other hospital's EMR communicate with each other? Is there a master design in all this?
