Medical Specialists of the Palm Beaches Selects Allscripts Electronic Health Record to Connect and Automate 85 Physicians

Date:1/7/2009

rch group KLAS, the "Consumer Reports" of healthcare, in the 2008 Top 20 Best in KLAS Awards: Software & Professional Services report.

MSPB selected Allscripts following a comprehensive review of multiple vendors. The group has used the Misys Tiger(R) practice management solution since 2001 and wanted an Electronic Health Record that would integrate seamlessly with the administrative billing and scheduling system.

"When Misys and Allscripts merged, we immediately included the Allscripts EHR in a pitched battle to find the best product based on performance metrics and review by our physicians," said Fernandez. "Allscripts came out on top not only because our physicians considered it to be the best product but also because of the company's size and stability. Given the consolidation going on, and the investment of our time and energy in training our physicians, we wanted to know that the company we picked would be around for the long term. It was also important for us, especially given the uncertainty in the economy, not to change out our existing practice management system, which has performed well for us over the years, but we needed the assurance that our electronic health record would work in an integrated fashion with what we have. Allscripts was a perfect solution for us."

Along with the Electronic Health Record, MSPB will implement the Allscripts Clinical Quality Solution (CQS), which automates the quality reporting requirements of "pay-for-performance" programs and provides additional real-time clinical decision support information to improve the quality of patient care. Government and private pay-for-performance programs aim to lower the overall cost of healthcare by providing financial bonuses to physicians who deliver high quality care.

The CQS Physician Dashboard draws on lab results, recent treatments and other information to provide a snapshot view of a patient's health
