Maine critical-access hospital selects Sage EHR

Mayo Regional Hospital, a critical-access hospital in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, has selected Sage North America Healthcare Division’s Sage Intergy EHR system.

Sage Intergy EHR is a clinical, financial and administrative system that tracks a patient's clinical history, shares and manages clinical information and combines medical practice functions into navigation menus, the Tampa, Fla.-based company stated.

The 25-bed Mayo Regional owns and operates eight physician practices, according to Sage. Mayo Regional will use Sage Intergy EHR to assist with the care of more than 50,000 patients a year, the company said.
