Paragon coming to OMC

On April 1, Oconee Medical Center will launch its new information technology system for medical records.  The new system is called Paragon and it uses one single-base data system, so there is one patient record.  This allows information to be shared much more quickly between medical personnel.  Privacy rules are in place to prevent anyone unauthorized to look at a patient’s electronic medical record.  Oconee Medical Center believes the move to Paragon will provide better communication and over the long run, will save the hospital money.
