The rollout of the CliniComp Essentris system covers more than 5,500 beds and helps the continuity of care for military personnel and their families by giving authorized clinicians access to their inpatient record worldwide.

The CliniComp Essentris EHR allows the Department of Defense (DoD) inpatient discharge summary to be accessed by 147 medical centers run by the Department of Veterans Affairs via the bidirectional health information exchange, the company added.
