eClinicalWorks® Practice Management – Helping to Meet “Meaningful Use” Core Objectives

As more and more small practices are working to achieve Meaningful Use status for their offices, the right Electronic Health Records system is key. One of the most successful in meeting these objectives is eClinicalWorks®, helping a practice along every step of the way, from tracking information about a patient when they walk in the door, to being able to provide electronic records to the patient at their request.

Users of this system are able to electronically record, edit, and look up patient demographic information.  This is helpful in order to determine a patient’s preferred language, emergency contact, and preferred method of contact at the touch of a button.  Keeping track of all Meaningful Use data is easier with the eClinicalWorks® system as well, as notifications appear for the front office if there is data missing from a patient’s records.

In order to maintain current information about all of the prescriptions a patient is taking, all of the potential interactions, and to help make the order entry of new prescriptions even easier, eClinicalWorks® integrates a link to the Medi-Span® database.  This promotes a more clear record of all medications in the patient’s history.

eClinicalWorks® also allows for e-prescriptions to be generated. By being able to submit a prescription directly to the pharmacy, records are clear on both ends of the path, without handwriting and interpretation getting in the way.

There are a number of other ways in which eClinicalWorks® helps to achieve a Meaningful Use status as well. And beyond the direct benefits of the system itself, billing solutions are available for eClinicalWorks®. Staff can continue to focus on giving the best services to patients, keeping records as clean as possible, and allow someone else to handle the invoicing.
