“We just click a button in eClinicalWorks, and it will give us a patient’s Problem List, allergies, medications, family history, social history, and immunizations. It’s made our care of patients much better.”
Dr. Susan Steen, First Choice Neurology

Problem
With more than 90 providers, 46 locations throughout Central and Southern Florida, and the need to work with more than 35 major hospitals, First Choice Neurology needed a healthcare IT partner that could integrate thousands of patient records, streamline workflows, and help them tackle the challenges of interoperability.
Solution
First Choice Neurology turned to eClinicalWorks for the comprehensive Electronic Health Record and Practice Management solutions needed to turn a world of paper records, phone calls, and faxes into one where patient data is available electronically, on demand and in real time — and physicians can focus their time and efforts on patient care.
Results
First Choice Neurology now enjoys fast access to comprehensive patient records, and is implementing hospital interoperability beginning with the providers at Tampa Neurology Associates, who joined First Choice in 2017 and now enjoy access to patient records stored in the Epic EHR used at Tampa General Hospital.
