64 provider network chooses Solution Series to integrate electronic EHR system.

e-MDs is proud to announce being selected by Marietta Health Care Physicians, Inc. (MHCPI) as the EHR supplier for the 64 provider network, in January 2008. MHCPI is a hospital-owned, large multi-site ambulatory clinic with a centralized billing office.

"The e-MDs family is excited to join the Marietta Health Care Physicians team," said Andrea Lesh, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at e-MDs. "We are here to provide them the knowledge, tools and support they need to provide the highest level of care possible."

MHCPI Administrator Melinda Nugent commented, "We have been impressed with e-MDs and the work they have done to ensure our transition to an electronic medical record goes as smoothly as possible. Our commitment to providing quality care was a catalyst to electronic medical record implementation, and we chose e-MDs based on design, unique reporting capabilities, detailed attention to coding and physician preference."

"Patients will experience many benefits from our use of an electronic medical record." She added, "A patient's medical information can quickly and easily be pulled up, past exams, procedures and test results are provided almost immediately. This is especially important in an emergency situation. In addition, multiple care providers in different locations can simultaneously view a patient's medical record on their computers and get up-to-the-minute information on test results and other doctor's recommendations. This collaboration enables care providers to work more efficiently."

MHCPI works with medical providers in rural counties in Southeastern Ohio and West Virginia. Established in 1995, the Marietta Health Care Physicians, Inc. has over 20 multi-specialty practice locations and serves the healthcare needs of patients in the mid-Ohio Valley.
