Westborough Firm Anticipates Higher Demand
Westborough-based eClinicalWorks anticipates that federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding could prompt as many as 400 health centers to adopt electronic medical records.
The act's capital improvement program will provide about $851 million in grants to upgrade community health centers and more than 650 such centers will use the funds to purchase new equipment or IT systems, according to federal Department of Health and Human Services.
As many as 400 will use the money to either adopt or expand the use of electronic health records.
In recent months, eClinicalWorks has signed contracts to provide electronic health records systems to 37 community health centers and federally qualified health centers across the country.
The electronic systems help the centers comply with the strict reporting and billing rules that govern them.
