WESTBOROUGH, Mass. AND FISHKILL, NY—OCTOBER 28, 2007—
eClinicalWorksTM, a market leader in unified EMR/PM systems,
today announced that the company’s unified electronic medical record
(EMR) and practice management (PM) system is available to physician
practices involved in the Hudson Valley Health Information Exchange (HVHIE).
eClinicalWorks is collaborating with the Taconic Health Information
Network and Community Regional Health Information Organization (THINC
RHIO) on this initiative.
“The Hudson Valley Information Exchange promises to be a means to
enhance healthcare delivery and improve access to health information,”
said Mike Duffy, chairman of THINC RHIO. “After an extensive evaluation,
we selected eClinicalWorks for its technical excellence and its
commitment to the HVHIE. Physicians in New York’s Hudson Valley will
have access to a fully-functional electronic health records system, with
local support and connectivity to the Information Exchange initiative.
This interoperability will aid in more efficient medical treatment.”
The Hudson Valley Health Information Exchange, managed by MedAllies, a
regional Health Information Service Provider, is comprised of physician
practices, hospitals, and labs in 10 New York state counties and could
ultimately service more than 5,000 physicians. The goals of this project
include enhanced patient alerts for doctors at the point of care and
increased communication between providers, improving overall patient
care.
“Community-based health information exchanges, such as Hudson Valley,
are the future of managing patient care,” said Girish Kumar Navani,
president of eClinicalWorks. “This program will enable physicians to
receive a technologically superior electronic health record system to
manage their practices. We are pleased to be part of the Hudson Valley
Information Exchange.”
