eClinicalWorks

A study commissioned by eClinicalWorks of Westborough finds strong use and acceptance of technology by patients to communicate with their doctors about medical issues.

Electronic health records have rolled out in force over the last several years. And, hundreds of companies offer software, and government has provided incentives and mandates for medical offices to modernize. Many patients are logging on to perform tasks that once took a phone call or visit.

Over the last few months, pundits have grown increasingly optimistic about economic growth across the United States...

As the waves of change envelop the U.S. health care industry, eClinicalWorks appears to be surfing them effectively. The company's co-founder and CEO, Girish Navani, believes the company will grow more in the next five years than it has the last five.

Westborough-based healthcare IT company eClinicalWorks will provide electronic medical records management to the New Jersey Physicians Accountable Care Organization (ACO), a group of more than 37 primary care practices, the company said. eClinical said its trademarked Care Coordination Medical Record will allow the ACO to administer itself more efficiently through quality metrics and analytics. That's crucial to the ACO model, which coordinates care between patients and health care providers with the goal of reducing costs and improving quality of care.

Westborough-based eClinicalWorks said it is now managing electronic health records for patients at all 23 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facilities.

The eClincialWorks' electronic health records solution software has been selected by Northern New Jersey's Carepoint Health System to be used in 45 medical practices, the Westborough health care technology firm said today.

An intense focus on reducing health-care spending could stymie life science research and development, according to a report released Thursday.

Westborough's eClinicalWorks has positioned itself as a market leader in health care IT by tailoring innovative products to the changing market. Today, that means reaching out to health care consumers, who are expected to become involved in choosing where to seek treatment as federal health care reform ushers in a new, value-based system in which more people will have health insurance, and pressure from payers to curb costs mounts.

Westborough-based information technology firm eClinicalWorks said it's investing another $50 million in its mobile health business unit, allowing the company to hire an additional 100 software developers.
