Ohio hospital selects Allscripts EHR

St. Luke's Hospital in Maumee, Ohio, has selected the Allscripts integrated EHR and practice management solution to automate and connect clinical and administrative processes for its 100 physicians.

The agreement with Allscripts takes advantage of recent changes to the federal Stark regulations that now allow hospitals to provide certain assistance to non-employed physicians in purchasing healthcare IT, according to Chicago-based Allscripts.

St. Luke’s, an independent, non-profit hospital in the Toledo area, has 600 affiliated physicians who care for more than 165,000 patients annually.
