The initiative is expected to lead to more accurate diagnoses, make care transitions more smooth and improve medication safety.
Regard chief operating officer and co-founder Nate Wilson said: “We are thrilled to integrate Regard’s capabilities throughout all WakeMed hospitals to improve patient care by surfacing critical information that exists within the EMR.
“WakeMed is pushing the boundaries of innovation and we can’t wait to see the notable impact this will bring for patients and physicians over the next three years.”
In March last year, WakeMed announced plans to construct a 150-bed mental health and wellness hospital in Garner, North Carolina.
northcarolinahealthnews.org reported that the $137m facility aimed to address the growing need for compassionate mental health care following the Covid-19 pandemic.
WakeMed received $12m in government grants to build the facility, which could potentially open to patients in 2026.
