Idaho’s Largest Healthcare Provider, St. Luke’s Health System, Selects
eClinicalWorks Unified EMR/PM Solution
Nearly 300 Providers Implement Integrated System to
Streamline Operations Between Locations; eClinicalWorks will Interface
with Siemens Hospital Network to Simplify Processes
WESTBOROUGH, Mass.—January 8, 2007—eClinicalWorks, a market
leader in unified EMR/PM systems, today announced that St. Luke’s Health
System, the largest healthcare provider in Idaho, which also serves
eastern Oregon and northern Nevada, has chosen eClinicalWorks unified
electronic medical records (EMR) and practice management (PM) solution
to streamline practice operations between locations and from patient
check-in to check-out. Initially, there are nearly 300 providers
implementing the client/server version of eClinicalWorks EMR/PM that
will also make use of an interface that eClinicalWorks is developing
with Siemens, St. Luke’s hospital information system.
“Providing integrated effective, and timely access to patient
information for physician practices and hospitals statewide is critical
to providing seamless and efficient care across the continuum,” said
Greg Orr, administrative director at St. Luke’s Internal Medicine.
“eClinicalWorks meets our requirements for a single-database solution
that integrates the entire office, from front to back end, while being
intuitive to use. The efficiencies this provides will translate into
more time spent with patients.”
Founded in 1902, St. Luke’s Health System is Idaho’s only locally owned,
not-for-profit health system. The system offers a full continuum of care
through its four hospitals and more than 30 outpatient centers and
clinics. St. Luke’s Health System’s 6,400 employees, 867-member medical
staff, and more than 850 volunteers are committed to delivering the
highest quality care to those in medical need regardless of their
ability to pay. St. Luke’s has been recognized as Idaho’s preferred
hospital, receiving the Consumer’s Choice Award from 2000 through 2005.
Using eClinicalWorks EMR/PM, St. Luke’s will streamline internal
processes between practice locations and promote patient safety while
reducing costs.
“St. Luke’s has a long tradition of being ahead of the curve in
implementing solutions that will benefit their patients in the
long-run,” said Girish Kumar Navani, president of eClinicalWorks. “By
using eClinicalWorks integrated EMR/PM to manage its patients from
check-in to check-out, St. Luke’s will have better access to patient
information and spend less time on administrative functions. These
aspects contribute to better patient care overall.”
eClinicalWorks’ EMR solution enables St. Luke’s 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
