"eClinicalWorks will provide our physicians with a comprehensive management and reporting system supporting pay-for-performance initiatives and the ability to more effectively manage the care provided to patient populations. The company and system have received great reviews from customers nationally and within our own community, as well as through independent evaluators."

Peninsula Regional will utilize eClinicalWorks EMR to streamline clinical processes between employed practice locations and will work with affiliated physicians to adopt as their practice EMR. eEHX will serve as a hub in conjunction with the Medical Center’s existing information exchange providing physicians with improved access to patients’ health information and allowing them to exchange data more effectively.

"eClinicalWorks has spent the past few years promoting interoperability between practices and systems," said Girish Kumar Navani, CEO and co-founder of eClinicalWorks. "By selecting eClinicalWorks, Peninsula Regional Medical Center will be offering its providers a standards-based electronic medical records system with a proven track record in employed and affiliated practice settings that will aid in treatment outcomes and provide operational efficiencies."
