Additionally, in September, FastMed became the first independent urgent care operator to launch Epic, a leading electronic health record (EHR) system that is used by many of the nation’s largest health systems, including HonorHealth. This allows for better care coordination between the two organizations.
HonorHealth FastMed Urgent Care provides urgent care and occupational health services, in person and via telemedicine, and will closely coordinate patient care with HonorHealth’s six acute-care hospitals, physician practices, outpatient surgery centers and other network services, as needed. HonorHealth and FastMed share ownership in the new venture, with FastMed managing its day-to-day operations. HonorHealth continues to operate six wholly owned HonorHealth Urgent Care locations.
