and the Massachusetts Medical Society (MMS) today announced an agreement
to help physicians implement electronic medical records in their
practices.
As part of the agreement, MMS member physicians can streamline their

and can choose between the application service provider (ASP) or the
client/server model. Access to the eClinicalWorks’ Web-based Patient
Portal will also be offered.
“The Massachusetts Medical Society is committed to offering our members
access to the best tools to help them care for their patients,” said
Kenneth R. Peelle, M.D., president of Massachusetts Medical Society.
“Electronic medical records can benefit all of our members, whether they
care for patients in large or small practices. Through eClinicalWorks,
our members can obtain an integrated EMR and practice management
solution for any size practice.”

operating state medical society, is a professional association for
physicians throughout the Commonwealth that promotes the best in patient
care. By working with eClinicalWorks, MMS members will be able to
streamline internal processes, including scheduling appointments,
creating electronic medical records, and billing. This allows healthcare
providers to spend more time with patients and less on administrative
duties, in addition to increasing the quality of patient data. The
accompanying Patient Portal feature allows patients and physicians to
communicate easily, safely, and securely over the Internet for routine
information such as appointments, lab results, and statements.
“eClinicalWorks realizes that each physician’s practice is unique. We
are devoted to delivering an EMR and PM solution that is versatile
enough to meet the individual needs of medical facilities,” said Girish
Kumar Navani, president of eClinicalWorks. “The Massachusetts Medical
Society’s commitment to this technology is a testament to the value of
implementing electronic medical record systems. We look forward to
working with the Society to equip its members with technology that will
advance the quality of care delivered to their patients.”
eClinicalWorks’ award-winning EMR solution provides the ability to
manage patient flow, access patient records in-house or remotely,
communicate electronically with referring physicians, and send secure
consult notes and clinical data. Users can easily access and review
complete patient histories, including past visits, current medications,
