Dec. 4 - Redwood Community Health Coalition Selects eClinicalWorks for EHR

eClinicalWorks announced that the Redwood Community Health Coalition (RCHC), the largest network of non-profit community health centers in California that is jointly procuring electronic medical records, has purchased licenses of eClinicalWorks unified electronic medical records (EMR) and practice management (PM) solution, along with Patient Portal and eClinicalWorks Electronic Health eXchange (eEHX) for ten community health centers operating 18 sites of care. This agreement will create a community health record to better coordinate patient care, and will provide significant community benefits by improving health outcomes through population management.

RCHC is implementing eClinicalWorks unified EMR/PM system to streamline the clinical processes between practice locations and promote patient safety while reducing costs. The Patient Portal will provide RCHC with a secure means for doctors and patients to communicate, make appointments online, view lab results and enter health statements. eEHX provides a complete view of a patient record by allowing various practices, beginning with the participating health centers, to view and update the electronic chart.

“Federally-supported health centers offer quality care to patients under stricter guidelines than many private medical practices, making their needs unique,” said Girish Kumar Navani, president of eClinicalWorks. “eClinicalWorks has enriched our products over the past few years to meet the requirements of these centers, making our solutions the most compatible with them. Using our suite of solutions will enable RCHC to have a more complete view of their patient’s information, allowing its providers to better coordinate care.”
