Philly health system chooses eClinicalWorks EHR

Main Line Health, a nonprofit health system serving greater Philadelphia, is implementing eClinicalWorks EHR tools in its system and making assistance available to affiliated physicians.

The health system has purchased 150 licenses to date and the first practice became live in less than 11 weeks, the Westborough, Mass.-based eClinicalWorks stated.

To assist its affiliated providers, Main Line Health is supporting this initiative by covering the up-front license fees, arranging for initial training and building the interface. Providers pay Main Line Health for the initial training and will repay the health system for the licenses when and if they receive their incentive payments for demonstrating meaningful use, the company added.
