Connecting the Dots...Become a Meaningful User

Meaningful use has become the topic of conversation in many healthcare organizations, leading to today’s theme from Girish Navani’s keynote presentation this morning—Connecting the Dots…Become a Meaningful User.

Girish started his keynote with a walk through the history of eClinicalWorks, culminating with an overview of where the company today, which is 30,000 providers strong and having the attention of some of the nation’s most influential people. Dr. Regina Benjamin, U.S. surgeon general, used the system in her practice and Michelle Obama had a visit with Unity Health Care.

Also in today’s keynote, Girish launched a few new solutions, including a site for sharing eBO reports, titled eCWShare (http://ecwshare.eclinicalworks.com). eClinicalWorks P2P was announced, providing interoperability for practice-to-practice, provider-to-provider and peer-to-peer communications not only with eClinicalWorks users, but also any provider/practice that the provider and practice interacts with for patient care. eClinicalWorks has upgraded several of its other products.

Another takeaway from today’s keynote is that eClinicalWorks has not raised its support and maintenance fees in 10 years and puts more resources in customer care than in sales and marketing. The focus of eClinicalWorks remains as it always has been—making sure our customers have the best solutions and care available.

This presentation was followed by a full day of the exhibit hall and sessions, and the commencement of eCW Central, where customers receive live support, training and demonstrations of our solutions. Session topics included Meaningful Use, ICD-10, Patient Medical Home, Stump the Biller, Pay-for-Performance, e-Prescribing and Community Deployments.

Attendees will flock to a dinner tonight for an evening of great food and entertainment. Tomorrow starts another full day of knowledge sharing and networking. Don’t miss the keynote panel discussion with some of the industry’s premier names, sharing their thoughts and experiences for improving care. Join eClinicalWorks, John Halamka, MD, Micky Tripathi, PhD, Amanda Parsons, and William Biggs, MD, for what is sure to be a riveting panel with Q&A.
