VH announces the launch of Project Elevate

Valley Health (VH) System announced the launch of Project Elevate in an email.

The 16 month project will implement a customized version of the electronic medical record or Epic system.

The Epic system documents care including tests and procedures, communications with patients, health care team and health care providers.

At a cost of approximately $50 million the upgrade Project Elevate will allow Valley Health more flexibility and independence improving response and create more platforms including laboratory, cardiology and home health.

Previously the Epic System was run through a system tied to INOVA Health System.

This upgrade will allow independence from the INOVA system.
