Indiana’s Hendricks Regional Health Medical Group Selects eClinicalWorks
Unified EMR/PM Solution For 50 Providers
System will Help
Multi-Specialty Practice Participate in Regional Health Information
Organization (RHIO) for Improving Patient Care; Interface with Meditech
will Simplify Lab Processes
WESTBOROUGH, Mass.—Dec 12, 2006—eClinicalWorks™,a market leader
in unified EMR/PM systems, today announced that Hendricks Regional
Health Medical Group (HRHMG), the medical network associated with
Hendricks Regional Health, has chosen eClinicalWorks unified electronic
medical records (EMR) and practice management (PM) solution to
streamline practice operations for its 20 locations. In addition to
improving patient care, this agreement will position HRHMG to join the
future Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO) in Indiana.
eClinicalWorks is also working with HRHMG to develop an interface with
Meditech to streamline the process of sending and receiving lab work,
and an interface with the hospital’s PACS system for viewing
radiological images.
“We are committed to providing the highest quality healthcare in a
compassionate, technologically advanced and efficient environment,” said
Dennis Barger, vice president in charge of HRHMG operations. “To that
end, we sought an EMR/PM system that would increase the quality of
patient care through enhancing network communication and operating more
efficiently. eClinicalWorks was selected for its ease-of-use, intuitive
nature and the system’s flexibility. After a diligent investigation of
several large, EMR/PM vendors and systems, our physicians showed a clear
preference for eClinicalWorks.”
HRHMG’s medical network offers comprehensive care, specializing in
internal medicine, family practice, pediatrics, neurology, orthopedics
and sports medicine, diabetes, ophthalmology, gastroenterology,
rheumatology, OB/Gyn and immediate care. The network offers locations in
Danville, Avon, Brownsburg, Plainfield and Lizton. By providing its
healthcare providers with eClinicalWorks, HRHMG will be able to
streamline internal processes between the health system’s hospital and
multiple satellite facilities, and promote patient safety while reducing
costs.
Hendricks Regional Health will be part of a future state-wide RHIO, a
regional collaboration between health care providers, in which patient
information can be securely stored but is electronically accessible to
those involved with providing care for patients within a community.
Electronic medical records play a critical role in the formation of
RHIOs as they bring patient information from paper charts to an
electronic format that can be shared among qualified parties with
patient consent.
“eClinicalWorks’ modern Web-based architecture and flexibility with
interfaces allows physicians to manage their entire practice as they see
fit,” said Girish Kumar Navani, president of eClinicalWorks. “Our EMR/PM’s
comprehensive functionality gives Hendricks Regional Health Medical
Group a system that will help automate and optimize both clinical and
financial processes. In addition, we will integrate eClinicalWorks with
the Meditech hospital system to increase transparency with the lab and
radiology processes.”
eClinicalWorks’ EMR solution allows HRHMG to manage patient flow,
immediately access patient records in-house or remotely, electronically
communicate with the referring physicians and securely send consult
notes and clinical data. Users can easily access and review complete
patient histories, past visits, current medications, allergies, labs and
charts. Integrated with EMR is eClinicalWorks Practice Management,
designed to instantly streamline and enhance the medical billing
process.
