HP Targets EHRs

Hewlett-Packard Co. has launched a new program to support the adoption of electronic health records in hospitals and physician practices.

The HP EHReady program includes a range of HP hardware products bundled with EHR technology, marketing services to promote adoption to physicians, and multiple financing options, according to the Palo Alto, Calif.-based vendor.

HP did not identify vendor partners for the program, but notes it has existing relationships with EHR firms Allscripts, McKesson Corp. and GE Healthcare and is developing more relationships. HP staff will provide installation services, testing, user set up and software configuration for the hardware. Partners will handle EHR software implementation and training.

Other available services under the program include assessments, support, help desk, disaster recovery, and program management. More information is available at hp.com/go/EHReady.
