Motion Computing, Allscripts deploys at Springfield Clinic

Motion Computing, a mobile computing and wireless communications developer, announced that Springfield Clinic, a large multi-specialty physician clinic in Springfield, Illinois, successfully implemented its C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant (MCA) and LE1700 Tablet PCs with Allscripts’ Enterprise electronic health record (EHR).

Springfield Clinic provides care in more than 30 different specialties, and has more than 800,000 annual patient encounters that generate more than one million transcription notes and 500,000 prescriptions each year, the company said.

The mobile solutions combined with the EHR system connect physicians electronically throughout the clinic to laboratories, pharmacies, insurers and other key healthcare stakeholders.
