Epic is a powerful digital health information system that uses the latest technology to securely store, organize, and access patient records while maintaining patient privacy.
Epic gives patients better access to their own health information and more seamless care from their providers:
- With Epic’s private MyChart portal, patients can see their medical history, diagnostic test results, upcoming appointments, lists of allergies and medications, and even educational materials. Learn more about MyChart.
- Epic gives the patient’s care team the information they need at their fingertips and is proven to reduce wait times, length of stay in hospital, and readmission.
KDH is part of the ‘Atlas Alliance’ of nine healthcare organizations in Eastern Ontario who use the Epic digital health information system. All of the hospitals in the Atlas Alliance have a seamless transition of patient information across sites, no matter where patients access care. This means that you tell your story once, and wherever you go in the network your care team is connected and ready to help!
The other members of the Atlas Alliance are –
- Deep River and District Hospital
- Hawkesbury and District General Hospital
- Renfrew Victoria Hospital
- St. Francis Memorial Hospital (Barry’s Bay)
