Children's Hospital Boston Selects eClinicalWorks Unified EMR/PM Solution: Nationally Recognized Pediatric Hospital Brings Electronic Medical Rec

WESTBOROUGH, Mass. (Business Wire EON) April 7, 2008 -- "Children's Hospital Boston is nationally recognized for its pediatric research and high-quality of care," said Dr. Gregory J. Young, president and CEO of the Pediatric Physicians' Organization at Children's Hospital Boston. "Implementing a clinical computing system in the primary care offices is the next logical step in advancing patient care. We worked closely with the PPOC physicians who selected eClinicalWorks to improve clinical processes at physician practices and promote patient safety while reducing expenses."

The hospital will host the solution using a Software as a Service (SaaS) model so members are able to access the system via the Internet. A pediatric-specific disease registry reporting component will help track clinical quality measures so that the physicians can collaborate as a network to improve care.

"Children's Hospital Boston is a known leader in advancing pediatric medicine," said Girish Kumar Navani, CEO and co-founder of eClinicalWorks. "We take tremendous pride in having the nation's leading institutions using eClinicalWorks for their pediatric primary care practices. The PPOC has more than 175 physicians who care for more than 100,000 children in eastern Massachusetts. We anticipate that the system will have a substantial positive impact on the care those children receive."
