The Warner Hospital has made its biggest investment since the renovation of its emergency room. 

On the WHOW Morning Show Thursday, CEO Paul Skowron told the Hart Media Group that they had been operating on the oldest version of their electronic medical records system for the last eight years, and it was time for an upgrade. He says the updated version will go live this Friday at midnight. 

Skowron asks for patience from the community as they figure out the new system and make sure that hospital visitors are able to access their records. He adds that there will be a big effort to make sure their records are current as they make the transition. 

While $2 million may seem like they overpaid for a software update, Skowron notes that this is on the cheaper end of the spectrum. He adds that it's about finding the right fit, almost like buying a car. 

Skowron states that the development of AI has increased the frequency that updates, but feels that this system should work for them for at least the next five years.
