Mercy’s work in real world evidence among the innovations
helping them perform in the top 9% of health systems  

Electronic health records (EHRs) are now an integral part of life for health care providers. As these systems continue to amass ever-larger stores of patient information, technology-forward health systems are increasingly using the data they contain to make smarter choices and improve patient care. 

Initiative aims to create a new model of curated data sharing among providers, drug and device makers, regulators and more to power better patient care.

Mercy Technology Services (MTS), the IT backbone of one of the largest Catholic health systems in the nation, announced it has achieved “Cloud Verified” status from VMware, a global leader in cloud computing technology. 

MTS is part of a global network of VMware Cloud Providers, a group of more than 4,500 organizations in over 120 countries who serve as third-party vendors for VMware cloud technology. MTS is one of only 50 members of this group to be Cloud Verified, and is the only health care provider to attain this certification.

With help from Mercy Technology Services (MTS), Tupelo-based North Mississippi Health Services (NMHS) successfully launched a new Epic electronic health record (EHR) last month, rolling the system out in NMHS’ ambulatory care locations. NMHS now uses Epic across its regional network of primary and specialty clinics and nursing homes, as well as for its telehealth services.
