Valley View Chooses Epic as New Electronic Health Record System

Valley View to Transition to Nation’s Most Widely Used Electronic Health Record (EHR), Epic, To Elevate the Care and Experience of Patients

Valley View is pleased to announce that it will bring the nation’s most widely used electronic health record (EHR) in the country to its patients. Epic is a fully integrated EHR system that will enable Valley View patients to have a single patient record shared across the entire Valley View network of care. Current multiple systems across Valley View will be consolidated into a top-ranked single, comprehensive platform for patient care.

“Implementing Epic reflects Valley View’s commitment to leveraging technology to deliver the highest quality care while prioritizing a personalized experience for our patients,” said Brian Murphy, MD, CEO of Valley View. “We are excited to make this strategic investment with the most advanced electronic health record in the country.” 

Transitioning to the Epic EHR will enhance each patient’s experience at Valley View. MyChart, a user-friendly patient portal, will enable patients to access their health information, communicate with providers, schedule appointments and more from across the Valley View network of care. 

Patients’ health information will be integrated into one medical record, supporting collaboration and communication among providers. For example, a physician will have immediate access to relevant patient information to provide care at Valley View’s emergency department or as part of a routine wellness visit at one of Valley View’s primary care practices. Valley View providers will also be able to more easily view and exchange patient data with providers outside of Valley View as all organizations using Epic have interoperability.

The Epic system will be implemented at Valley View with the help of UCHealth’s Epic Community Connect program, which has partnered with six other rural hospitals to launch Epic, which currently supports over 3,700 hospitals and over 190 million patients.  Valley View’s anticipated launch of Epic is planned for Spring 2026. Valley View will share additional updates as the launch approaches.

“Epic is a powerful platform and best-in-class technology that will not only deliver the most advanced and innovative tools to our clinicians at Valley View but also improve our patients’ experience,” said Foster Goss, DO, MMSc, chief medical information officer at Valley View.  “Patients will be able to access their health information no matter where they receive their care - this transition will get us closer to that vision leveraging the most interoperable EHR system in the country. It’s an organization-wide endeavor bringing together all of Valley View to evolve the care of our patients”
