Rhode Island Hospital/Hasbro Children’s Hospital The Miriam Hospital Newport Hospital Bradley Hospital Gateway Healthcare A M ESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF LIFESPAN

Over the past few years, Lifespan has been working hard to redesign the way we deliver care across our sys - tem, at our hospitals, our clinics, our community practices and partners. The ultimate goal has been to trans - form ourselves from a hospital sys - tem to a health care system that puts the patient at the center of all that we do. Our mission statement sums it up neatly: Delivering health with care .

The foundation of these efforts, the steel beams on which the system rests, is our new electronic health record: T Life Chart . It has taken two years of work to transform Lifespan’s entire information technology infrastructure, R now re-built on the well-regarded Epic software plat - I form. I’m pleased to announce that we are now ready M to go live with our new system on March 29, 2015. Once implemented, we will have made a quantum leap in patient care and information flow by creating a truly integrated health delivery information system.

Life Chart replaces many of our current systems, including the old LifeLinks, eClinicalWorks, eEHX, MedHost, and others. It creates a single record for each patient that may be accessed by clinicians throughout Lifespan. One great advantage of the new system is that all of the patient’s information will be in one place; cli - nicians and staff will no longer have to click in and out of different systems to find information, as they do now. Community physicians will be able to view information about patients who have had inpatient stays or outpatient visits at Lifespan facilities. Our patients will be able to access their own information through an easily accessible portal, My Lifespan . With the implementation of Life Chart , we will be the only health care system in the state to have a single enterprise electronic health record that spans both inpatient and outpatient services—a distinction that affirms our commitment to meeting the health needs of our community.

Information sharing is fundamental to practicing good medicine, and it is imperative that physicians have the right information in the right place and at the right time to practice effectively and efficiently. This is particularly true for primary care physicians, who still spend hours every week trying to track down lab results, medical imaging reports and consultations. Once Life Chart is up and running, all community physicians will be able to If you have any questions, please do not request access to the system through a portal called hesitate to contact us at 401-606-6352 . Lifespan Link . After a simple, no-cost enrollment process, Lifespan Link will allow them to view their

patients’ test results, physician notes and documentation T

for care delivered at any of our facilities. R M I We have been reaching out to practices throughout the I M R community to facilitate the transition to Lifespan Link .

T If you are currently accessing LifeLinks, or if you want to access the new Lifespan EHR in the future, go to www.LifespanLink.org for information on the enrollment process. Rhode Island Hospital/ Hasbro Children’s Hospital Work is also underway to develop a strategy to assist prac - The Miriam Hospital tices with implementing LifeChart as their own office Newport Hospital EHR, if they so desire. More to come on that in the future. Bradley Hospital Gateway Healthcare We are excited to enter this new era of truly integrated, comprehensive health information.

In the steadfast pursuit of excellence, I remain, Sincerely yours,

Timothy J. Babineau, MD President and Chief Executive Officer, Lifespan LifeChart TRIM , f s e a g o d d
