Summary
Indiana University Health (IU Health) is undertaking a major transition to the Epic electronic health record (EHR) system, scheduled to go live in mid-2027 alongside a new $2.3 billion medical center in Indianapolis. New CIO David Burton, who joined IU Health in February, is focused on assembling a skilled team of IT and operational leaders to ensure successful implementation. The system's strategy includes improving consumer experiences with online bill payment and scheduling while committing to a comprehensive, large-scale rollout of Epic, despite concerns about associated risks. Burton emphasizes this transition as a pivotal moment for the organization's technological advancement, noting it has been 24 years since the last EHR implementation.
