[Year] June 2014 [Description] Athens Regional Medical Center announced on Thursday the resignation of Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer Gretchen Tegethoff.The notice of Tegethoffs resignation came six days after Athens Regionals former CEO and president James Thaw resigned. Both Thaw and Tegethoff were targeted in a May 15 letter signed by more than a dozen Athens Regional physicians who expressed their concerns over a new computer system they felt endangered patients. The doctors noted such problems as medication errors ... orders being lost or overlooked ... (emergency department) patients leaving after long waits; and of an inpatient who wasnt seen by a physician for (five) days. The EHR, designed by health care information technology company Cerner, is meant to improve efficiency and connectivity by providing doctors, nurses and other medical professionals with a shared data set. But physicians called the implementation of the system too rushed and noted intended users lacked readiness prior to implementation. [References] OnlineAthens [Name]
