Dear Community Members:
Dignity Health North State is pleased to announce
the implementation of our fully integrated
electronic health record (EHR) system. This new
computer system allows Dignity Health North
State to achieve a new standard of care for the
many patients we are privileged to serve. Among
its many benefits, the EHR system will better
enable standardized care delivery; improve medication and patient safety
capabilities; and provide physicians and other care providers with more
convenient and timely access to patient information. For you, the patient,
this means that as your information is entered into the EHR system it will
become immediately available to the dedicated medical staff, physicians
and nurses who care for you and your loved ones.
This edition of
Be Well
highlights many of the orthopaedic services
offered by our team of exceptional surgeons; a story about the pioneering
spirit of the Sisters of Mercy; and information on our newly expanded
emergency services at Mercy Redding, designed with patients and
families in mind.
Together, we look forward to helping you
Be Well
.
