PDS Health Secures Landmark Epic Deployment at University of the Pacific
Event summary
- PDS Health Technologies is implementing its dental-optimized Epic EHR system across University of the Pacific's medical, dental, and future surgical centers.
- Pacific will be the first dental school nationwide to deploy PDS Health’s Epic platform across these three care settings.
- The partnership includes PDS Health’s revenue cycle managed services to improve operational and financial performance.
- PDS Health’s platform supports over 14 million unique patients across more than 1,250 sites of care.
The big picture
The partnership highlights the growing recognition of the need for integrated oral and overall healthcare, a trend driven by both patient demand and value-based care models. PDS Health’s specialization in dental-optimized Epic positions it to capitalize on this trend, but the academic setting introduces unique complexities around data governance and student training. This deployment represents a strategic bet on expanding PDS Health’s reach beyond its existing base of dental practices and multi-state healthcare organizations.
