All six County public health centers and seven California Children’s Services Medical Therapy Units were scheduled to close Oct. 19 while staff moved to a new electronic health-record system. An Oct. 13 County notice said the sites would reopen the next day. County notice
Staff had trained since July for the OCHIN Epic transition. The County described the change as a replacement for paper records intended to improve efficiency and reduce errors.
Teams adopting the system included immunization, tuberculosis and sexual-health clinical services, home visiting, case management and California Children’s Services operations. The therapy units provide occupational and physical therapy to children with qualifying conditions.
The County said no appointments would be scheduled for the closure date and that notices were posted at affected facilities. It directed residents to the centers’ and therapy units’ websites for hours and updated information.
The announcement concerned a planned interruption in public services; it was not a report that the system transition had already been completed.
