WESTBOROUGH, Mass.—October 31, 2017—eClinicalWorks®, a leader in healthcare IT solutions, today announced that Center for Health Education Medicine & Dentistry (CHEMED), a non-profit, Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), has successfully implemented the eClinicalWorks comprehensive EHR solution for its 66+ providers. Use of the cloud-based technology has supported care coordination between physicians and patients.
“At CHEMED, our mission is to provide quality healthcare to the uninsured and underinsured and to give an integrated package of healthcare to the community,” said Dr. Dovid Friedman, CEO of CHEMED. “I am a firm believer in preventive services and educating and empowering patients on the importance of healthy living. To achieve our mission, we made the switch to eClinicalWorks because of its proven success with community health centers and its commitment to advancing patient and community outcomes. Through a collaborative effort, eClinicalWorks and CHEMED have maximized patient care and enhanced communication between providers and patients through the cloud.”
CHEMED has been leveraging eClinicalWorks 10e, a cloud-based EHR solution, to streamline and automate processes for a more effective patient treatment model, regardless of the setting.
