Evangelical Community Hospital in Lewisburg, Pa., will implement electronic ambulatory health records software for employed and community physicians.

The 135-bed facility has licensed an EHR for 40 employed physicians. It also will, under amended provisions of the Stark Act, subsidize the cost of electronic records adoption for another 60 affiliated physicians in independent practices.

The physicians will use the EHR of Allscripts LLC, Chicago. The hospital’s physicians already use the vendor’s practice management system. The hospital will integrate the EHR with inpatient information systems. The facility also has licensed Allscripts’ Study Manager clinical research management software.

The hospital will offer patients personal health records software from Allscripts that can be populated with data from the patient’s EHR. The vendor sells a private-labeled PHR from Medem Inc., San Francisco.

More information is available at allscripts.com and evanhospital.com.
