Legacy Epic for Affiliated Physicians (LEAP)

Legacy Health is offering private practice physicians a complete solution: Legacy Epic for Affiliated Physicians (LEAP). Epic is the industry leader in integrated electronic health records and ambulatory office management systems.

We are subsidizing your purchase of this system, taking advantage of changes in the Stark rules. You also may be eligible for significant federal stimulus payments by achieving "meaningful use" of the system. In addition, you may also avoid Medicare and Medicaid penalties against physicians who do not adopt and use an electronic health record.

Why choose LEAP?

The LEAP offering combines the Epic electronic health record with the Epic scheduling and billing products, providing a seamlessly integrated Epic solution for your office. LEAP also gives you seamless connectivity to Legacy when your patients are using our facilities and to the central patient record, showing all care rendered to your patient at other
LEAP-connected practices and facilities.

There are a number of choices available as you consider electronic health records and practice management systems. We have chosen Epic as our system-wide solution, and we believe that it is the best product for independent physician practices. Also, the interconnectivity will enhance patient care across our communities.

Moreover, this isn't just a technology product offering. You are a clinical partner for us, and we have a stake in your satisfaction and success. We will be here providing you with support long after the purchase.

Why rely on Legacy?

Legacy has made a major corporate commitment to an integrated EHR and to meaningful use. Our Epic conversion is a multi-year investment in improved patient care, enhanced integration of all care-related functions and improved efficiency of operations. A team of 500-600 people from all professions and specialties has worked for two years to bring Epic to Legacy.

Legacy has a strong leadership team in place to guide our Epic activities. Recognizing the extraordinary resource demands that LEAP could place on our resources, we are outsourcing the implementation to ensure a fast, smooth transition for affiliated physicians. We are committed to "white glove" service for the first three years of installation, while your practice comes up to speed.

Perhaps the most important answer to the question "why Legacy" is that we feel an interconnected medical community is so critical that we are prepared to make a major investment in helping affiliated physicians come on board. We will subsidize your participation in LEAP to the full extent allowed by the federal regulations.
