Tufts chooses eClinicalWorks as EMR, PM provider

Tufts Medical Center and the New England Quality Care Alliance (NEQCA), the physician network of Tufts, have selected eClinicalWorks unified EMR and practice management (PM) software, placing the system in the academic and community settings.

As part of the agreement, the Orlando, Fla.-based eClinicalWorks said its EMR/PM software is available to nearly 900 primary care and specialty physicians as well as 421 residents. eClinicalWorks Patient Portal will be used for patient communication.

Tufts and NEQCA members will implement eClinicalWorks’ unified EMR/PM software to have one system across the network of providers—connecting community physicians with local hospitals and the academic center, according to eClinicalWorks.
