Southeast Community Health Systems made the switch to the eClinicalWorks® EHR prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the help of eCW University, my.eclinicalworks.com, marketing materials, and user-friendly features, they were able to quickly initiate healow TeleVisits™ to serve their patients during these unprecedented times. Hear Ashley Clement speak about the variety of eClinicalWorks solutions that were used to analyze and evaluate all their efforts.
“Our staff adjusted surprisingly very well, and I believe that starts with leadership, accessibility, collaboration, support, and transparency. And just knowing that we had designated personnel assigned to assist with troubleshooting allowed the providers reassurance for a successful patient-provider experience.”
Ashley Clement, MPA, MT(ASCP), CLSSGB, Quality Assurance/Improvement Coordinator at Southeast Community Health Systems
