WESTBOROUGH, Mass.—August 20, 2012—eClinicalWorks®, a market leader in ambulatory clinical systems, today announced that Virginia Physicians, Inc., the largest independent multi-specialty practice in the Richmond metropolitan area, has chosen eClinicalWorks comprehensive electronic health records (EHR) solution for its 58 providers across eight locations.
“We strive to deliver compassionate, high-quality medical services,” said Dr. Patrick Woodward, President of Virginia Physicians, Inc. “We believe eClinicalWorks will help us continue to enhance patient care through the flexibility, ease-of-use and intuitive nature of the technology. Integrating this technology with our imaging and laboratory services will benefit our patients and providers.

“The comprehensive nature of eClinicalWorks and our successful track record make us a great fit for multi-specialty practices,” said Girish Kumar Navani, CEO and co-founder of eClinicalWorks. “We look forward to working with Virginia Physicians, Inc., to improve care in the Richmond area and assist in reaching its goals of becoming meaningful users and gaining PCMH status in 2013.”

• eClinicalWorks eBO® performs clinical and financial analytics;
• eClinicalMobile® permits physicians to access the system at any time through their smart phone;
