# CareConnect

**[CareConnect](http://ehr.uclahealth.org/default.cfm)**, a new name for UCLA’s innovative electronic health record (<span class="caps">EHR</span>) program. It is based on EpicCare. The name CareConnect reflects both the breadth of the program and the benefits that will result from its implementation.

While the **CareConnect** program is using Epic Systems technology, the actual implementation will be tailored to UCLA’s needs, according to Michael Steinberg, M.D., Chair of the Executive Oversight Board.**EpicCare <span class="caps">EMR</span>** is a comprehensive system of applications known for being efficient and physician-friendly, with integrated access and revenue systems for simplified administration. Their “one patient, one record” approach improves care in both hospitals and physician groups by simplifying the important patient-facing elements of care delivery.
