Moving forward with a ‘strategic pause’: How RWJBarnabas scored a perfect 10 on its mid-pandemic EHR implementation

West Orange, N.J.-based RWJBarnabas Health recently received a Epic Gold Stars Level 10 recognition, placing the health system in the top 0.3 percent of all Epic users for its EHR implementation process. This was made possible because of Robert Adamson, MD, executive vice president, CIO and operational leader for the Epic EHR system, who decided to implement an operation shift that allowed the health system to continue to build out the system during the height of the pandemic.
