eClinicalWorks® and the Evolution of The Health Care Industry

Twenty years ago, physicians running medical institutions used paper files and folders to record and execute the operations of these institutions. Paper files store patient medical records, staff credentials, internal memos, and even financial receipts.  Paper files require designated storage stations. They are also susceptible to damage from fires, elements of weather, and are vulnerable to tear through friction. Furthermore, paper files are vulnerable to theft and unauthorized access. Vividly, paper files in the medical industry are a looming issue.

In the year 1999, a team of healthcare professionals coupled with technology gurus founded eclinicalworks® to get rid of paper in a medical profession. The mission was to make sure that there is a seamless relay of information flowing within the supply chain of a doctor. This includes lab results, nurses, pharmacists, and even surgeons.

Digitizing the record and communication system in the health care community has a myriad of advantages. Firstly, it creates a fast and reliable way of relaying information from one department to another. Medical professionals operating in different areas can share medical files about the medical history of a patient they are treating. Years ago, it was almost impossible to relay such information in due time.

Paperless systems are also safe. The systems have passwords and capabilities that can restrict the access of unauthorized personnel. Medical records are sensitive files and as such, confidentiality is important.

Paperless systems have also increased the level of care and service that patients receive. The digitized system retrieves patient files faster and efficiently, thus reducing errors and saving time.

The system incorporates technology into handling the finances of a medical institution saving costs, cutting losses, and making billing more convenient. The billing system takes care of all your patient billing needs, ranging from answering patient questions about billing options to handling commercial data.
