FVCC Chooses Allscripts for Electronic Medical Record
On March 18, 2008, Fox Valley Cardiovascular Consultants will introduce a fully integrated Electronic Health Record (EHR) across its clinic office locations.
As a specialty group caring for patients across multiple offices, FVCC required an EHR that would provide physicians with the functionality they required to enhance patient care and office efficiency. FVCC providers using Allscripts will have instant access to a patient’s medical record when and where they need it – in the clinic, at the hospital or on-call at home – without relying on unwieldy, error-prone paper charts.
“Fox Valley Cardiovascular Consultants believes that by automating our medical records system, our physicians will have better information to care for their patients and spend less time following the paper trail of medical records,” said Dana Balicki, Executive Director “We concluded that Allscripts was the safe choice for an integrated Electronic Health Record and Practice Management solution. HealthMatics will give our physicians the tools they need to provide the best possible patient care while consolidating our billing, scheduling and order entry for greater efficiency and patient satisfaction.”
Allscripts’ easy-to-deploy, physician-centric technology improves the delivery of safe, cost-effective, high-quality care by automating common tasks such as prescribing and refilling medications, ordering and viewing tests, and documenting care. HealthMatics Office combines the power of HealthMatics Electronic Health Record and HealthMatics Ntierprise Practice Management to provide one full-circle, seamless patient information management solution. Built on a single intelligent platform, HealthMatics Office links Fox Valley Cardiovascular Consultants’s business and clinical sides and provides caregivers instant and secure access to the complete patient record.
“We chose Allscripts because we liked the stability of the company and because it has an exceptionally high adoption rate by physicians,” said Balicki. “There are other companies that have good inroads into the market but they really aren’t getting physicians to use the technology. We wanted a system that our physicians would embrace and that’s where Allscripts pulled ahead.”
