Here are six hospitals and health systems that recently completed virtual EHR go-lives with remote support due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

2. Ballad Health launched an Epic EHR for its outpatient clinics on June 1 and plans to integrate the technology for its inpatient hospitals as well in the coming months. Epic provided virtual support during the go-live at the Johnson City, Tenn.-based health system.
3. Ithaca, N.Y.-based Cayuga Medical Center virtually implemented a Meditech EHR, choosing to complete the go-live with remote support rather than postponing due to the pandemic.

5. Madera, Calif.-based Valley Children's Healthcare recently implemented a new Epic EHR with virtual support from Epic and Optimum Healthcare IT.
