Boulder, CO – September 26, 2024 – Boulder Medical Center (BMC) announces the successful implementation of Epic, a leading healthcare technology system designed to improve patient care and foster collaboration between patients and healthcare providers. This transition underscores BMC’s mission of engaging patients in high-quality, compassionate healthcare.
With this implementation, Boulder Medical Center introduced MyChart, a state-of-the-art patient portal powered by Epic. MyChart is widely used by top healthcare organizations worldwide, providing patients with an intuitive and secure platform to access their health information and communicate with their care team.
Boulder Medical Center accesses Epic through the Epic Community Connect program in collaboration with Boulder Community Health (BCH). Since successfully launching its own Epic Electronic Health Record (EHR) platform in 2019, BCH has been recognized as one of the top-performing Epic EHR systems in the nation. Through Epic’s Community Connect program, BCH is empowered to collaborate with local healthcare organizations and extend its Epic system to independent providers like Boulder Medical Center. This collaboration enhances care coordination and the delivery of high-quality, cost-effective healthcare to the community.

Boulder Medical Center is committed to providing the highest quality care as an independent, wholly physician-owned, multi-specialty medical group. Recognizing that many healthcare systems in Boulder County and Colorado use Epic, Boulder Medical Center upgraded its healthcare information technology platform to ensure seamless patient support across diverse care settings.
