eClinicalWorks says that there are nearly 300 providers implementing the client/server version of its EMR/PM that will also make use of an interface that eClinicalWorks is developing with Siemens, St Luke’s hospital information system.

Providing integrated effective, and timely access to patient information for physician practices and hospitals state-wide is critical to providing seamless and efficient care across the continuum, said Greg Orr, administrative director at St Luke’s internal medicine. eClinicalWorks meets our requirements for a single-database system that integrates the entire office, from front to back end, while being intuitive to use. The efficiencies this provides will translate into more time spent with patients.

Using eClinicalWorks EMR/PM, St Luke’s is aiming to streamline internal processes between practice locations and promote patient safety while reducing costs.

eClinicalWorks’ EMR tool enables St Luke’s to manage patient flow, immediately access patient records in-house or remotely, electronically communicate with the referring physicians and securely send consult notes and clinical data. Users can access and review complete patient histories, past visits, current medications, allergies, labs and charts.

Integrated with EMR is eClinicalWorks Practice Management, which is designed to streamline the medical billing process.
