Internal medicine residents preview CareConnect

Future users of CareConnect are catching their first glimpses of the electronic health record system about eight months before the first scheduled go-live at UCLA Health System.

The CareConnect team presented an overview of computerized physician order entry and documentation functionalities to a group of resident physicians from the department of internal medicine in October at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. CareConnect is set to be implemented at our Westwood hospitals in October 2012.
