QuadraMed signs $15.8M deal with California health system for ECM

Daughters of Charity Health System (DCHS) in Los Altos Hills, Calif., has signed a $15.8 million contract with QuadraMed to expand the use of QuadraMed CPR (QCPR), an enterprise care management (ECM) system, across its five-hospital network.

The new agreement adds to the $6.7 million initial Phase 1 agreement for the QCPR integrated medication management system, which was finalized on Nov. 30, 2006, QuadraMed said.

With the new contract, DCHS has purchased software and services for the QCPR platform including interactive care-grid, order management, access management, clinical decision support, nursing documentation, chart management and additional software for scheduling, electronic document management, medical records, computerized physician order entry and patient registration, according to the Reston, Va.-based company.
