"Delaware Health Net believes that by automating our medical recordssystem, our physicians will have better information to care for their patientsand will spend less time following the paper trail of medical records," saidCraig Law, Chief Executive Officer of DHN. "After a national search, weconcluded that Allscripts was the best choice for an integrated electronichealth record and practice management solution for our organizations.HealthMatics will give our physicians the tools they need to provide the bestpossible patient care while consolidating our billing, scheduling and orderentry for greater efficiency and patient satisfaction."
Allscripts' easy-to-deploy, physician-centric technology improves thedelivery of safe, cost-effective, high-quality care by automating common taskssuch as prescribing and refilling medications, ordering and viewing tests,documenting care and managing vulnerable populations. HealthMatics Officecombines the power of HealthMatics Electronic Health Record and HealthMaticsNtierprise Practice Management to provide one full-circle, seamless patientinformation management solution. Built on a single intelligent platform,HealthMatics Office links each organization's business and clinical sides andprovides caregivers instant and secure access to the complete patient record.
"We chose Allscripts because we liked the stability of the company andbecause it has an exceptionally high adoption rate by physicians," said Law."There are other companies that have good inroads into the market but theyreally aren't getting physicians to use all the technology. We wanted a systemthat our physicians embraced and that's where Allscripts pulled ahead."
