Martin Memorial selects Allscripts for EHR, practice management

Martin Memorial Health Systems (MMHS) has selected the Allscripts EHR and practice management (PM) solution to automate clinical and financial operations for its physician group. 

The solution also will connect the physicians with MMHS’s inpatient information systems, providing electronic access to the records of their hospitalized patients, according to Allscripts.

The Stuart, Fla.-based not-for-profit, community-based, 344-bed health system will deploy the solution for the 80 providers of Martin Memorial Medical Group, the system’s employed physician group.

Allscripts said its PM combines scheduling and revenue cycle management tools to help physician practices become more productive with features including billing and reconciliation, referral and eligibility indicators and automated patient appointment reminders.
