Summary
Emory Healthcare has inaugurated Emory Hillandale Hospital in Atlanta, the first hospital to be entirely powered by Apple products. This initiative, driven by leadership's curiosity about Apple’s potential in healthcare, aims to enhance inpatient care through a novel partnership with Apple and integration with the Epic electronic health record system. Early outcomes indicate cost savings and increased efficiency, highlighted by the Apple devices' resilience during a significant cyberattack that impacted other systems, resulting in positive staff feedback and maintaining nursing turnover rates on the test floor at zero. The collaboration facilitates streamlined access to patient records via Apple devices, enhancing clinical workflows.
