Salisbury, MD – TidalHealth is proud to announce that Epic, the country’s leading provider of electronic medical records (EMR) systems, has named the Delmarva health system to its “Honor Roll” at the Cum Laude level for its remarkable achievements optimizing its EMR and implementing best practices.

The program is based on nine components: ease of use for providers, ease of use for nurses, enterprise data and analytics, financial, health information exchange, infrastructure stability and performance, patient experience, population health, and staying current with Epic’s latest features.

As part of this achievement, TidalHealth has been awarded a grant totaling $291,000. The funds will be provided in the form of a credit to be applied to current and future Epic advancements supporting TidalHealth’s ongoing efforts to enhance its electronic health record (EHR) infrastructure and patient care systems.

Mark Weisman, MD, Vice President of Information Technology, Chief Information Officer and Chief Medical Information Officer at TidalHealth, stated, “This Cum Laude recognition reflects the dedication and hard work of our entire team. Our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to improve patient outcomes and streamline clinical workflows remains at the forefront of our mission. TidalHealth’s accomplishment on the Epic Honor Roll Grant Program underscores its drive to continuously push for excellence, adopting innovative solutions that enhance healthcare delivery.”

Currently, TidalHealth hospitals in Salisbury, Maryland and Seaford, Delaware are both utilizing Epic. Transition to the same electronic medical record system is expected early in 2026 at Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin, Maryland, which recently joined the health system.
