The Guthrie Clinic Earns Top Honors for Digital Health Excellence

The Guthrie Clinic has once again secured its position at the forefront of healthcare technology, earning the Summa Cum Laude Honor Roll distinction from Epic, a global leader in health information software. This achievement marks Guthrie’s fifth time receiving the Summa Cum Laude designation, which is the highest tier of recognition awarded by the organization. With eight total appearances on the list, Guthrie is now tied with just six other healthcare systems nationwide for the most Honor Roll achievements in the program’s history.

The Honor Roll program evaluates how effectively healthcare entities implement and utilize Epic’s systems to improve patient care and operational efficiency. To reach the Summa Cum Laude level, Guthrie demonstrated excellence across eight key performance categories: ease of use for providers, enterprise data and analytics, financial health, health information exchange, infrastructure, patient experience, population health, and maintaining current technology standards. Successful implementation of these components allows the clinic to leverage software to better serve the health and wellness of its surrounding communities.

For patients in the Twin Tiers region, this recognition signifies a deep commitment to quality and safety. Brad Carvellas, Senior Vice President and Chief Digital Officer at Guthrie, stated that equipping providers with reliable and efficient digital tools creates measurable benefits for those receiving care. He noted that the achievement is the result of a massive collaborative effort between the clinic’s clinical, operational, and technology teams, all working to ensure that digital innovation translates directly into a better patient experience.
