This is probably one of the sweetest subsidized arrangements with 60% of the cost being absorbed by the hospital, which is by the way one of the best in Orange County and I have worked on fundraisers for the hospital in the past. Doctors choosing ECW will have remote access using the application service provider computing model. The software will be offered to over 1100 affiliated physicians in the area. One more hospital/practice integration taking place.

This is "old" news. Hoag announced they were approving the first three vendors months ago. Allscripts, Nextgen and eCW were picked as approved vendors initially and there is on-going talk to add others. Greenway Medical, is among those that has been mentioned, though the second round of approved vendors has not been decided yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update, Hoag is right in my backyard and the physicians are getting a nice package it appears too.
