eClinicalWorks®,
a market leader in ambulatory clinical systems, today announced that Summa
Physicians, Inc., (SPI) has chosen eClinicalWorks electronic medical
records (EMR) solution for its 223 physicians serving 33 specialties.
This deal is a direct result of the relationship eClinicalWorks has held
with Summa Health System since 2006 (http://www.eclinicalworks.com/1pr_05-30-2006.php).
“Summa Physicians, Inc., selecting eClinicalWorks is a direct
correlation to our relationship with Summa Health Network and a
validation of the value we provide our customers”
“Implementing eClinicalWorks meets a significant piece of our strategic
plan of improved communication to better manage large groups of
patients,” said Dr. Cliff Deveny, president of Summa Physicians, Inc.
“We selected eClinicalWorks because of Summa Health System’s previous
relationship with the system; we knew we were obtaining an EMR system
with solid functionality that will lead to better documentation and care
management.”
eClinicalWorks EMR will allow for SPI to streamline processes throughout
the practice and promote patient safety while reducing costs. In
addition, the technology will place SPI in a good position to take
advantage of ARRA reimbursements. Under the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA), providers will be reimbursed for demonstrating
‘meaningful use’ of an EMR system.
“Summa Physicians, Inc., selecting eClinicalWorks is a direct
correlation to our relationship with Summa Health Network and a
validation of the value we provide our customers,” said Girish Kumar
Navani, CEO and co-founder of eClinicalWorks. “We look forward to
working with Summa Physicians, Inc., to ensure its providers receive top
quality service in order to improve overall functionality.”
