The use of EHR (Electronic Health Records) was mandated by passage of the Affordable
Care Act. After much research, the Clinic chose the EPIC system. This system is recognized
for its excellence nationally and is in use by Kaiser Hospitals, the Veteran’s Administration,
and major universities and hospitals across the country. Purchase of the system, equipment, and training will cost the Clinic over $250,000.
Under the diligent supervision of Clinic Associate Medical Director, Dr. Jorge Rubal, the
Clinic staff is completing the implementation of our new state-of-the-art EHR system.
This allows LBCC to continue as a mainstream provider of quality healthcare.
Oregon Coast Health Information Network (OCHIN) spearheaded the application of
the EPIC System, which is now used in over 100 community clinics such as ours. This
system improves patient care and streamlines the ability to share information with other
providers. This system will also improve billing and better reimbursement.
Months prior to the January on-site training, the entire Clinic staff accessed online
modules to aid in the orientation to the EHR program. Each staff member spent two
hours per week for 5 weeks in interactive job-specific training. The Clinic designated
three staff members as on-site specialists, called “Super Users” to provide day-to-day
staff support. They are Jorge Rubal MD, Clinical Director, Adriana Sayegh, RN, and Alma
Tellez, Front Office Supervisor.
For several weeks, OCHIN provided on-site training at the Clinic for the front desk staff,
clinical supervisors, Super Users and our billing team. There are a total of 20 computer
stations throughout the Clinic, with the system directly linked to OCHIN. The data is
backed up nightly and stored in 3 offsite locations.
We want to again thank the Assistance League of Laguna Beach, the Draper
Family Foundation, the Ueberroth Family Foundation, and many other
supporters for their generous donations. This generosity helps us
accomplish our Mission and remain the safety net
provider of medical care in our community.
We have ongoing operating expenses
of about $60,000 per year and are
reaching out to our community and
foundations for ongoing support of
this important system.

Dr. Korey Jorgensen Retires
A festive tribute for our hero
The enticing invitation to a much deserved thank you and
sincere tribute for his 43 years as a dedicated physician
at LBCC beckoned many admirers of Dr. Korey Jorgensen
to rejoice in honor of his retirement on January 25 at the
Montage Resort. Thoroughly enjoying a sun-splashed Sunday
morning, 150 guests were warmly welcomed with sparkling
flutes of Veuve Cliquot Champagne graciously hosted by
Board member Roya Cole. The guest of honor greeted his
admirers to the festive celebration which continued with a
lavish buffet of delicious breakfast bounties.
The public “thank you” heralded Dr.
Jorgensen’s years of dependable
and good-natured service at LBCC.
Popular LB City Council member, Toni
Iseman, called the appreciative
honoree “my longtime friend
and favorite dance partner.”
He was presented with an
engraved, gold-flecked, freeform glass bowl.
Dr. Jorgensen concluded
the revelry appropriately
acknowledging donors
both present and away
for “my wonderful
opportunity to practice
medicine in a way that
benefits people regardless
of their ability to pay.”
