The Family Clinic
“We found that eClinicalWorks was our best option, both in what they could provide for us, as well as cost-wise, so we went ahead and switched, and it transformed the way we practice medicine compared to what we had before.”

Problem
The Family Clinic, Inc. needed a better Electronic Health Record to meet their growing needs. Once they made the switch to eClinicalWorks, they wanted to find a way to continue to strengthen their practice and to further engage their patients.
Solution
In 2018, The Family Clinic signed up for the Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+) payment model, expanding their access to patient data from a single hospital to several area hospitals.
Results
The Family Clinic quickly noticed that joining the CPC+ payment model was helping them lower 30-day readmissions and cut the number of ER visits. One year later, the practice received the nation’s first CPC+ Practice of the Year Award.
