"With CHADIS, users can seamlessly integrate delivery and assessment of validated preventive care and disease-specific screening tools into their daily workflow.  Providers can take advantage of automated ordering of age-specific screening questionnaires for upcoming routine well visits in addition to ordering questionnaires manually from within TouchWorks.  Since results are passed as discrete data, they can be cited into an encounter note and be captured and tracked within customized flowsheets,"said Dr. Everett Weiss, Sr. Clinical Content Director, Allscripts.  "Allscripts certification of CHADIS showcases our commitment to Pediatric providers and our ability to extend Allscripts TouchWorks EHR core functionality with complementing solutions using Allscripts Open platform." More about CHADIS can be found on the Allscripts Application Store.  For a custom quote and demo, please contact allscripts@chadis.com.
