Sisters of Charity health system selects eClinicalWorks

The Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth Health System (SCLHS) has selected the eClinicalWorks’ EMR and practice management (PM) system, along with its Patient Portal for SCLHS’ ambulatory electronic health record initiative.

SCLHS is a Catholic not-for-profit health system, composed of eight hospitals and four free-standing clinics in California, Colorado, Kansas and Montana. SCLHS consists of nearly 2,200 staffed beds and 11,000 employees.

For the completion of the project, eClinicalWorks said its EMR/PM will interface with the SCLHS GE Centricity Enterprise hospital system and with local regional health information organization initiatives.

According to the Westborough, Mass.-based eClinicalWorks, its system will be available to SCLHS’ 200 employed physicians and to the 5,000 independently practicing physicians on its medical staff.
