"This initiative brings more of our key processes onto a unified, modern platform — while continuing to rely on essential health record systems like Epic — to make work simpler, improve consistency, and create a future where it's easier for caregivers to stay focused on delivering exceptional care. As we modernize these functions, we're grounding our approach in strong governance, security, privacy, and human decision-making. AI-enabled tools, used responsibly, will support long-term financial sustainability and help us better serve our workforce and, ultimately, the patients who rely on us."
