Community Technology Cooperative (CTC) was formed to help Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) improve health and equity for under-resourced communities through technology. Comprised of FQHCs throughout Massachusetts, CTC is focused on transitioning our existing Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems to Epic.
The pandemic has put even more pressure on our health care systems and providers. Inefficient and outdated EHR systems add to that burden but upgrading to a new solution can be costly and overwhelming for community health centers to implement on their own. CTC’s united approach removes many traditional barriers to progress. Together, member organizations benefit from reduced costs, a collaborative process, and a coordinated community roll out.
Epic is a best-in-class Electronic Health Records platform (EHR) that will allow community health centers to have a single fully integrated system to better manage patient care. This move will help FQHCs achieve their major goals and objectives including improving patient care, enhancing the caregiver experience, operating more efficiently, and eliminating disparities.
