Two busy pediatrics practices in the Washington, D.C. area used to struggle with lagging or hard-to-find reports from hospitals and specialists. They needed better ways to exchange data to enhance clinical effectiveness.

Results

Through interoperability solutions from eClinicalWorks, these practices have enhanced the quality of care. Parents no longer need to bring their children’s records or worry about recalling details from ER and specialty visits.
