Eclypsis e-medical records, practice manager solution, chosen by pediatrics group

CENTENNIAL, Co. — Eclipsys Corporation's PeakPractice integrated electronic medical record and practice management solution has been chosen by Greenwood Pediatrics, a 10-physician group practice in the Denver metro area.

The group practice, which operates three locations, according to a news release, will phase in the single database EMR and PM solution, which includes e-prescribing, patient portals, patient kiosk, image management and Web portal, by spring 2009.

"After thoroughly evaluating several vendors, including the EMR that was offered as a solution through Stark law by our community hospital, we chose Eclipsys PeakPractice because it offered a comprehensive, well-integrated solution to support our specialty in pediatrics," said Chip Southern, M.B.A., M.H.A., C.M.P.E., Greenwood Pediatrics' practice administrator. "We were very impressed by the seamless integration of its EMR and PM solution, and Eclipsys' commitment to continually enhance its product. But what really sold our physicians was the .NET platform that allows us to exchange information within our multiple-location practice and the intuitive interface that makes it easy for our 70 plus staff members to use."

According to Tom Cooke, vice president and general manager of Eclipsys' Practice Solutions group, "Eclipsys is honored that Greenwood Pediatrics has chosen to adopt PeakPractice EMR and PM because of its strength in the pediatric specialty. Our dedication to developing specialty-specific software not only helps practices operate more efficiently, it allows providers to cost-effectively deliver the highest quality of care."
