FORT WAYNE – For the second consecutive year, Parkview Health has received the Pinnacle Award from the KLAS Arch Collaborative, which recognizes health systems for high-level effectiveness and user experience with their electronic health records (EHR).
According to a provided release, Parkview ranked in the 98th percentile for physician experience among 126 health systems surveyed that use the Epic EHR system. Parkview was one of only nine systems nationwide to receive the Pinnacle Award for physicians and was also recognized as the top-performing medium-sized system by KLAS, among the 10 participating systems, in this year’s program.
“Parkview is constantly evaluating and evolving our Epic system to make it more efficient and useful for our physicians,” said Dr. Mark Mabus, senior vice president of electronic health records and chief medical informatics officer. “Technology is an important tool for doctors and receiving the Pinnacle Award again demonstrates that Parkview continues to work closely with our teams to ensure they are able to work effectively.”
“Technology is interwoven into every part of the healthcare experience,” said Jeff Coulter, chief information officer, Parkview Health. “Working one-on-one with physicians will always be the foundation of great care, but technology also provides our caregivers with the tools to make safe, effective and efficient decisions.”
