EPIC - Electronic Medical Record System - As of Novemer, 2011, the physicians of Sheboygan Internal Medicine Associates became one of the first groups in PHN to use the EPIC electronic health record system. EPIC allows us to keep an accurate health record without depending on cumbersome paper charts, thus giving your physician or nurse health care extendor immediate access to your medical record from almost anywhere that internet access can be attained. This means that your physician (or his medical colleage on call) can pull up your record and verify your history, allergies, medications, as well as other valuable information to provide seamless, error free health care from their office, home, hospital, or other locations. Since EPIC is one of the most sophisticated and popular EMR systems in the country, we feel that we are now on the cutting edge of health care communication.
