FORT MILL, S.C.,None — Novant Health is looking to hire 150 people with a variety of health care and technology experience to implement its new electronic medical records project.
The project, Dimensions, is being based at Novant's Fort Mill data center. Eventually, as many as 300 people could be employed, said project manager Sheila Moore. Novant is looking for people with clinical, information technology and billing experience.
Novant Health is investing about $500 million to create a seamless system for medical records that can be accessed by its 13 hospitals as well as its physician practices. Novant has facilities in the Carolinas and Virginia.
Presbyterian-Charlotte is scheduled to be the first Novant hospital to use the new system with a projected operating date in the fourth quarter of 2013. Novant Health hopes to have the Dimensions project operating system wide by the fourth quarter of 2015.
When the medical record system is up and running, doctors at physicians offices, those at hospitals, and personnel in the billing office will have access to the same patient information. Patients will also have secure access to the system.
The software vendor for the project is Epic and Mission Critical Technologies is handling the staffing.
Novant is holding job fare Wednesday from noon to 8 p.m. at Providence Plaza in Charlotte.
