Sayre, Pa. – Guthrie has earned the Summa Cum Laude Honor Roll distinction for the second year in a row from Epic – a computer-based program that stores patient’s personal health information including treatments, procedures, test results, current allergies, medications and more.
The Honor Roll Good Maintenance Grant Program is a recognition program based on eight components: Ease of Use for Providers, Enterprise Data and Analytics, Financial, Health Information Exchange, Infrastructure, Patient Experience, Population Health, and Staying Current. There are three levels of program achievement based on the number of components completed: Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, and Summa Cum Laude. Completing all eight components of the program qualifies an organization to reach Summa Cum Laude. This is an achievement shared with only one other Epic organization.
Guthrie Vice President of Clinical Systems, Terri Couts said, “I am very proud to be leading a team who has achieved the highest-level Honor Roll distinction a second year in a row. Mastering all of these components not only ensures that Guthrie draws the most value from our Epic software investment which helps improve the health and wellness of the communities we serve, but also demonstrates the alignment IT has with the strategic goals of our organization.”
