ATLANTA – Emory Healthcare has achieved Epic Gold Stars Level 10 designation (out of 10 levels) for excellence in using the Epic electronic medical record (EMR) platform. The designation is the highest possible utilization rating given by Epic, and means Emory Healthcare is utilizing Epic EMR software to its most current and fullest capabilities, leading to the highest quality of care for patients.

Emory Healthcare is the only health care system in Georgia to receive this recognition, and the recognition places Emory in the top 9% of academic medical centers worldwide who are Epic clients.

“Achieving Epic Gold Stars Level 10 recognition demonstrates that we are a leader in health care technology implementation and have optimized Epic’s EMR functionality as much as possible; however, our work is not done,” says Laura Fultz, vice president of applications and digital experience for Emory Healthcare. “We must continue to push for excellence in our EMR utilization efforts, working with our many Emory Digital cross-functional team members to benefit and learn from their expertise in system usage.”
