Sisters of Charity offers EMR to 5,000 MDs

Lenexa, KS-based health delivery system Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth Health System has struck a deal to make ambulatory EMR software available to the 5,000-odd physicians who have privileges at its nine hospitals. To roll out the program, the health system has licensed software from eClinicalWorks of Westborough, MA.

Sisters of Charity will begin by implementing the eClinicalWorks EMR software in its own clinics, where it will be used by the system's 200 employed physicians, and will also make it available to community physicians. The new ambulatory EMR will be integrated with the health system's pending hospital information system, Centricity, by GE Healthcare, which won't go live until mid-2008.
