Gastrointestinal Specialists of Georgia Selects eClinicalWorks Unified EMR/PM Solution
Second-largest Gastrointestinal Group in Georgia Using Electronic Medical Records System for Eight Locations
Fort Lauderdale, Fla., TEPR Conference, BOOTH #317—May 19, 2008—eClinicalWorks®, a market leader in ambulatory clinical systems, today announced that Gastrointestinal Specialists of Georgia, the second-largest gastrointestinal group in Georgia, has purchased licenses of eClinicalWorks unified electronic medical record (EMR) and practice management (PM) software for all eight locations. In October 2007, Digestive Care Associates and Northwest Georgia Gastroenterology Associates merged to create Gastrointestinal Specialists of Georgia, prompting the new group to select one, unified solution to streamline operations at all practice locations.
“Gastrointestinal Specialists of Georgia strives to create an experience for its patients of top-quality, specialized care,” said Dr. David Finkelman, president and CEO of Gastrointestinal Specialists of Georgia. “Our previous system limited our ability to provide this experience, especially when we recently expanded our group, so we turned to eClinicalWorks to tie all of our locations both clinically and financially. eClinicalWorks EMR/PM has extensive functionality for GI groups and we look forward to working with the company to create additional GI-specific content for other practices in this specialty.”
Gastrointestinal Specialists of Georgia will implement eClinicalWorks unified EMR/PM system to streamline the clinical processes between practice locations and promote patient safety while reducing costs and plans to use the Patient Portal to promote increased communication between patients and providers.
“eClinicalWorks caters to almost every major specialty and sub-specialty,” said Girish Kumar Navani, CEO and co-founder of eClinicalWorks. “We have always worked closely with our customers to enhance our product and look forward to being a partner for the long-haul. Our feature-rich solution and exceptional service are two reasons that Gastrointestinal Specialists of Georgia selected us instead of other systems. Being chosen by Georgia’s second-largest group validates our position as a leading vendor in the ambulatory space and for the gastrointestinal specialty.”
