First-of-its-kind academic deployment across medical, dental, and ambulatory surgical settings advances dental-medical integration and revenue cycle performance.
PDS Health Technologies announced today a formal partnership with University of the Pacific (Pacific) to implement its dental-optimized instance of Epic, the nation’s preeminent electronic health record (EHR) system, across the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry and Pacific Health Care Collaborative. This collaboration marks a milestone in health sciences education: Pacific will become the first dental school in the nation to implement PDS Health Technologies’ specialized platform across dental, medical, and a future ambulatory surgical center, creating a more integrated model for clinical education and care.
PDS Health Technologies will deliver a unified platform across Pacific’s San Francisco and Sacramento campuses, bringing multiple care settings onto the same patient record. The result is a more integrated environment for patients, students, and clinicians, with stronger visibility across care settings and a more complete view of health information.
“This partnership reflects a shared belief that oral health must be more meaningfully integrated with overall health,” said Preston Raulerson, president of PDS Health Technologies. “By bringing medical, dental, and future surgical care settings onto the same patient record, University of the Pacific is advancing dental-medical integration in a way that strengthens both education and patient care. We are proud to support that vision with a proven instance of Epic optimized for dentistry and backed by real-world clinical and operational performance.”…
