Problem

Since 1954, Granger Medical Clinic has provided high-quality primary and specialized care in the Salt Lake City, Utah area. They needed a healthcare IT partner to help provide outstanding care while protecting their independence and providers’ clinical preferences.

Solution

In 2013, Granger Medical Clinic switched to eClinicalWorks because physicians needed a system with greater capabilities, including interoperability and tools for Meaningful Use, Population Health, and Patient Engagement. Physicians and staff were trained to fully web-enable patients.

Results

Four years after implementing eClinicalWorks, Granger Medical Clinic remains an independent, physician-governed healthcare leader, with an ACO quality score of 99.1%, interoperability connections with the University of Utah and Intermountain Healthcare, and a growing focus on Population Health.
