The Department of Urology has created centers with specific scopes of treatments for specific urological problems. We hope that these continuing developments will improve our delivery of patient care. The Department of Urology also has the distinction of being one of the first specialty departments in the foundation to incorporate the EPIC electronic medical record system. Once fully incorporated, it will better serve physicians and patients in enabling healthcare providers to both access and recording of;all patient information, office procedures, visits, and pathology/laboratory reports electronically. This system will combine and organize all components of paper charts (dictation, written notes, pathology reports, and laboratory results) into an easily accessible computer database. This database will then allow each physician the ability to promptly recall patient data without the need of a paper chart.
