Celebrating Year 2002

In 2002, GHC-SCW partnered with Epic Systems to implement electronic medical records across its clinics, becoming the first HMO in the area to fully transition from paper charts to an innovative digital system. This shift required extensive planning, training and operational redesign. 

Moving to electronic records allowed providers to access patient information instantly, improving clinical decision-making and reducing the risks associated with fragmented paper documentation. Information that once required physical charts could be securely shared within the care team, supporting safer and more coordinated treatment. 

The implementation marked the beginning of a major technological transformation for the Cooperative.  

Why it matters: Electronic medical records improved safety, accuracy and communication. The digital foundation established in 2002 continues to support innovation, integration and patient access today.
