Erlanger To Get $100 Million New Electronic Medical Records System

  • Monday, April 20, 2015

Erlanger Health System will be getting a new electronic medical records system costing just short of $100 million, Erlanger CEO and President Kevin Spiegel said Monday.

He said the old Legacy IT system was the hospital's #1 dissatisfaction source.

The hospital board is to be asked to approve the system, which will be paid for over several years, at the May board meeting.

The payment in the first year will be $12 million, it was stated.

Britt Tabor, finance director, said there is zero interest on the extended payout. He said the money will be in the capital spending and not from bond funds.

Mr. Spiegel said the new system will mean some 100 more jobs at Erlanger.

He said the firm getting the contract will bring 100-200 workers here during the two years for installing the system.

Mr. Spiegel praised Tish Ingalls, who was recently hired, for her work in negotiating the deal. He said the terms were very favorable for Erlanger.
