eClinicalWorks®, a market leader in ambulatory clinical systems, today announced that the company has entered into an agreement with Correctional Medical Services, Inc. (CMS), a leading provider of health services for prisons and jails nationwide for over 30 years, to provide its electronic medical records (EMR) solution to correctional facilities affiliated with CMS.
CMS facilities using the eClinicalWorks EMR will be able to streamline processes and promote patient care. The system will also permit providers to utilize chronic and preventative care measures, including those that are unique to this setting such as suicide watch alerts and detox monitoring. eClinicalWorks will work with CMS to enhance its Electronic Medication Administration Record (EMAR) as well as intake process flows and a mental health module.
“eClinicalWorks has always strived to provide the most comprehensive EMR at an affordable price for every market segment,” said Girish Kumar Navani, CEO and co-founder of eClinicalWorks. “Our commitment to customers and experience with Rikers Island makes us a logical solution for correctional facilities. We are pleased to be chosen by a national leader like CMS and look forward to working with them.”
