COPA Moving to Electronic Medical Records

COPA Moving to Electronic Medical Records

Central Oregon Pediatric Associates is taking another big step in providing exceptional medical care for your children. In April we began the process of replacing our computer systems in anticipation of moving to complete electronic health records by August of this year. We very much appreciate your patience and understanding during this transition. This spring we have a new registration system that will improve your experience during check-in and provide more efficient scheduling. Later this summer we will have your child’s medical records in an electronic format that will provide a comprehensive view for our providers and faster prescriptions and information for our patients. COPA is excited for this move to state-of-the-art medical technology, continuing our obsession to provide the absolute highest quality medical care and exceed your expectations. We look forward to sharing the benefits with you!
