ZYNX HEALTH and eCLINICALWORKS :Meaningful Use Example

Zynx Health, the leader in evidence-based healthcare, and eClinicalWorks®, a market leader in ambulatory clinical systems, today announced a partnership to provide Zynx AmbulatoryCareTM order sets to eClinicalWorks clients. This evidence-based content will provide an out-the-box solution to help eClinicalWorks clients improve quality of care and succeed in performance measure programs.

Product description

Virginia, Illinois and Georgia First States Targeted for Phased Implementation

Walmart to sell eCW Electronic Health Records (EHR)

According to the NY Times, soon you'll be able to go to a local Sam's Club and purchase a package that includes eClinicalWorks and Dell computers for about $25,000.00 for the first doctor.
Annual support would be between $4000.00 and $6000.00.

I guess the Stimulus Package and a positive experience with the software in the Redi-Clinics has gotten Walmart to look at EHR distribution as a new product/service with a lot of potential.

I look forward to see if Walmart will now start promoting the DOSSIA PHR as well.

How many of you expect this announcement before year's end:

Rediclinic + Walmart medical customers + DOSSIA + eEHX = Community Health Information Exchange (HIE)?

What do you think? SV
