eClinicalWorks EMR Software

eClinicalworks EMR Software is an award-winning vendor offering integrated EHR, Practice Management, Population Health, and Revenue Cycle Management solutions and services to more than 130,000 physicians across the US and 850,000+ medical professionals worldwide. The vendor offers both on-premise and web-based solutions to ambulatory practices, urgent care facilities, ACOs, hospitals, and more than 50 specialties.

The company has a free data conversion/transfer policy to facilitate the transition from legacy EHR to eClinicalWorks EHR software. For 1-9 physician practices, the vendor provides initial implementation services and on-site training at no extra cost.

eclinicalworks emr software offers revenue cycle management services priced at 2.9% of monthly collected revenue with no start-up costs. This is a significantly lower rate as compared to most leading medical billing vendors who charge anywhere between 5 to 12% of collections. That said, eclinicalworks medical billing service has been accused of nickel diming customers through many hidden costs. 

The latest software update, eClinicalWorks V11, promises enhanced patient safety and physicians gain access to Eva, a virtual assistant that helps clinicians recall patient histories, compare current and past progress notes and also includes credit card payment with a card on file and interoperability to aid in care coordination. eClinicalworks EHR for MAC and  PC can be accessed using a web browser, smartphone or iPad.

eclinicalworks emr has also been one of the first EHR vendors to develop and deploy an opioid abuse tool that will help providers estimate patient risk and suggest alternative medications. The company hopes to assist providers in better adhering to treatment protocols thus, increasing the safety in prescribing controlled substances and prevent and detect opioid abuse and misuse. 

Unlike many of its competitors, eclinicalWorks EMR has its own  HIPAA compliant telehealth software Healow. Through this software not only are patients able to view their patient files but also communicated with their physicians in a timely and secure fashion.  The telemedicine software is available to its electronic medical record clients and as a standalone product for practices.
