The electronic health record from Allscripts can automate everyday clinical tasks such as prescribing medications, ordering and viewing laboratory tests, and documenting patient care. The web-based solution will connect physicians and other healthcare providers across the LSI network to laboratories, pharmacies, insurers and other providers, while delivering secure, immediate access to patient information anywhere and at any time.
The electronic health record will include tools for documentation and orders, seamless support for pay-for-performance initiatives, clinical trials integration, and plug-and-play connectivity to more than 100 medical devices through the universal application integrator.
Francesco Federico, CEO of Lakeside Systems, said: Both independent physicians and those in group medical practices need the latest technology to provide cost-effective, high quality healthcare, and Allscripts delivers that for our physicians and their patients. With the merger of our organizations, Lakeside Systems now has the leverage to bring the electronic health record to the community to fulfill our vision of a fully integrated healthcare delivery system that provides high quality, affordable patient care.
