Case Study: Hendrick Health System achieves HIMSS EMRAM Stage 7 with Altera Digital Health

How Hendrick Health System achieved EMRAM Stage 7

Hendrick Health System, a non-profit healthcare provider in Texas, sought to achieve HIMSS EMRAM Stage 7, the highest level of electronic medical record adoption. To reach this organization-wide goal and identify gaps in their technology use, they partnered with vendor Altera Digital Health (formerly Allscripts) for its EMRAM/O-EMRAM Stage 7 Assessment and Consulting Services.

Leveraging the Allscripts Sunrise platform and its associated solutions, Hendrick formalized clinical processes and streamlined operations. The engagement with Altera Digital Health resulted in Hendrick successfully attaining the prestigious HIMSS EMRAM Stage 7 designation. This effort yielded significant measurable impacts, including a reduction in their elective delivery rate from 28% to 8% and the creation of actionable data to optimize operating room utilization and scheduling.
