Abstract
Objective To detail the implementation, benefits and challenges of onboarding campus-based health services onto a health system's electronic health record. Participants UC San Diego Student Health and Well-Being offers medical services to over 39,000 students. UC San Diego Health is an academic medical center. Methods 20 workstreams and 9 electronic modules, systems, or interfaces were converted to new electronic systems. Results 36,023 student-patient medical records were created. EHR-integration increased security while creating visibility to 19,700 shared patient visits and records from 236 health systems across the country over 6 months. Benefits for the COVID-19 response included access to screening tools, decision support, telehealth, patient alerting system, reporting and analytics, COVID-19 dashboard, and increased testing capabilities. Conclusion Integration of an interoperable EHR between neighboring campus-based health services and an affiliated academic medical center can streamline case management, improve quality and safety, and increase access to valuable health resources in times of need. Pertinent examples during the COVID-19 pandemic included uninterrupted and safe provision of clinical services through access to existing telehealth platforms and increased testing capacity.
