Sam's Club Launches Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Package for Practices to Help Improve Pa...( The comprehensive package which inclu...),Health

The comprehensive package, which includes EMR and practice management (PM) software and hardware, is available for a small practice of one to three providers. For a three provider practice, it will cost less than $25,000 for the first provider and up to $10,000 for each additional provider. This is a fraction of the cost of traditional programs, making it more affordable for small independent healthcare practices.

"Cost and complexity have been the primary barriers to EMR adoption," said James Coffin, vice president of Dell's Healthcare and Life Sciences business. "Partnering with eClinicalWorks and Sam's Club, we are addressing both by providing an EMR solution that is easy to purchase, easy to implement and easy to manage so that healthcare providers spend less time on administration and more time serving patients."

Medical professionals can learn about the EMR package at samsclub.com/health or by calling 866-653-1933. Compliant with industry standards, eClinicalWorks EMR Version 8.0 is a CCHIT Certified(R) 08 Ambulatory EHR, additionally certified for Child Health Production, as defined by the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology. In addition, eClinicalWorks will provide physicians with 12 weeks of project management, data center support, e-prescribing integration, comprehensive primary care and specialty specific templates with decision support, five days of onsite training by eClinicalWorks staff, free unlimited online webinars and eClinicalWorks software support for this first year. The package hardware components include three Dell OptiPlex desktops, one Latitude XT convertible tablet, one fax server, one laser printer and applicable switches.
