eClinicalWorks elevating the EHR with precision medicine and artificial intelligence at HIMSS18

eClinicalWorks CEO Girish Navani said the company will be focusing on three technological developments at HIMSS18.
It’s been quite a year for the vendor since HIMSS17. In May it settled a False Claims lawsuit with the U.S. Department of Justice, which was followed by a $1 billion class-action suit in November and another class-action complaint in December, for which the specific amount remains to be determined.
Along the way, however, the company won a string of new customers, including Digestive CARE saying in mid-January its 28 offices went live with eClinicalWorks and released version 11 of its EHR – which Navani said customers have been deploying in January and February of 2018.
And at HIMSS18, the company is focusing on “elevating an EHR from the traditional mindset of data entry to smartness and intelligence that helps doctors,” Navani said. Three examples that will be on display at the health IT conference are the Open and Connected Office, Virtual reality and precision medicine features and functionality within the EHR.
eClinicalWorks EHR, specifically, can now integrate genetic screening and results into the order entry process, Navani said.
