We have launched this transformational initiative to empower our patients, caregivers, researchers, health care delivery partners, and business managers with contemporary tools and processes that deliver powerful reporting, improved outcomes, efficient billing, and prevention of medical errors.

Epic emphasizes care delivery and has been putting its patients at the center of the are experience for more than 40 years. After an extensive review of EHR systems, with input from stakeholders across UTHealth, we concluded that Epic would best fulfill the needs of patients and our university community and allow for improved integration with our teaching hospitals.

We launched the system in our health care settings in May 2021. Below is a recap of that launch schedule.

Through an enhanced online portal, MyUTHealth.org, patients are able to easily schedule appointments, see lab results, communicate with their provider through messaging and other tools, pay bills, and much more.

The UTHealthCONNECT initiative connects our faculty and staff through the use of this integrated electronic health record and revenue cycle system designed to optimize countless processes. It focuses on the needs of practicing physicians, as well as other care providers and staff, all of whom participate in building a better system for our patients and one another.

To keep our employees informed, updates are posted regularly on the UTHealthCONNECT section of Inside UTHealth Secured Page . and UTP Connect Secured Page .
