Oregon provider to integrate clinical data with Allscripts

The St. Charles Health System, a private nonprofit organization that operates four hospitals, has selected Allscripts’ EHR and practice management (PM) software to create an integrated health information system across the health system's employed and affiliated physicians.

The Bend, Ore.-based health system will deploy the Allscripts integrated EHR and practice management tool for the St. Charles Medical Group; a physician practice employed by the health system as well as affiliated physicians. St. Charles Medical Group physicians will receive the Allscripts Clinical Quality Solution (CQS), which draws data from the EHR to automate reporting, the Chicago-based Allscripts stated.

St. Charles also will provide a health information exchange to allow the hospital and physicians to exchange test results and other clinical information from the EHR. The system also will allow patients and physicians to connect electronically, perform e-prescribing, assist with chronic care management and automate administrative functions, the company stated.
