PITTSBURGH, April 22, 2009 — MED3OOO Group, Inc., a privately held national healthcare management and technology company, recently entered into an agreement to implement and deploy InteGreat EHR, a true browser-based electronic health record (EHR) application, within the Family HealthCare Network (FHCN) community-based clinics throughout Tulare and Kings Counties in California. The installation of InteGreat EHR is designed to improve patient care within the 11 ambulatory clinics with intuitive workflows and clinical decision support, while minimizing bandwidth requirements and improving FHCN's long-term operations.
Family HealthCare Network serves the healthcare needs of the community within Tulare and Kings Counties of California. Since 1976, they have been dedicated to providing access to care for local farm workers and others who may encounter barriers to healthcare because of financial or transportation issues. The clinic will leverage the InteGreat EHR platform for their 90+ providers to document clinical findings to enhance patient care and improve productivity while securely sharing information from disparate lab and hospital systems.
"Family HealthCare Network spent a considerable amount of time investigating the right EHR choice for our community-based centers," said Jay S. Kelley, Chief Information Officer of Family HealthCare Network. "We selected the InteGreat EHR because of its ease of use, as well as the expertise the MED3OOO team has in implementing the EHR in community healthcare centers and clinics of all sizes."
The InteGreat EHR browser-based application costs less for network infrastructure and produces higher levels of satisfaction among clinical staff because it offers a reliable connection without the need for a dedicated line. This technology will save the community health center several thousand dollars in IT costs per year.
"We believe the healthcare management and technology experts at MED3OOO will not only be able to help us successfully implement the InteGreat EHR, but also help us grow our network and proactively manage our patient outcomes," said Harry Foster, Chief Executive Officer of Family HealthCare Network.
"MED3OOO is excited to have Family HealthCare Network implementing the InteGreat EHR product," said Patrick Hampson, Chairman and CEO of MED3OOO. "We will be working with the community network with an approach to improve patient and financial outcomes. Our IT operational process and technologies will help the network streamline clinical workflows."
