4. Harbor Beach (Mich.) Community Hospital is planning to merge with Pigeon, Mich.-based Scheurer Health and implement Epic.
5. A switch to Epic is one reason Hopkinsville, Ky.-based Jennie Stuart Health officials cited for pursuing a merger with Evansville, Ind.-based Deaconess Health System.
6. Pullman (Wash.) Regional Hospital welcomed Pullman-based Palouse Medical into its EHR, months after the two organizations joined forces.
7. The CEO of WVU Medicine Thomas Hospitals in South Charleston, W.Va., told Becker's its integration into the larger WVU Medicine system gave his organization an Epic EHR that has enhanced care coordination and clinical quality.
8. Lake Charles (La.) Memorial Health System's transition to Epic represents a $40 million investment over the next five years.
