Children`s National Medical Center Selects eClinicalWorks for Children`s IQ Network

Top Pediatric Hospital Using eClinicalWorks to Improve Quality of Healthcare in
Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia Area; eEHX Connecting Practices to
Create Community Record
WESTBOROUGH, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
eClinicalWorks, a market leader in ambulatory clinical systems, today announced
that Children`s National Medical Center of Washington D.C., one of the nation`s
top-ranked pediatric hospitals by U.S. News & World Report, has selected
eClinicalWorks unified electronic medical record (EMR) and practice management
(PM) software for its Children`s IQ NetworkSM. Children`s IQ Network is
dedicated to improving connectivity, care and outcomes for children-and will be
the first of its kind in the Washington D.C., Maryland and Virginia region.
Community pediatricians will be connected to Children`s National Medical Center
through their eClinicalWorks EMR. Children`s IQ Network will use eClinicalWorks
Electronic Health eXchange (eEHX) community health record to additionally
connect public schools, foster care program and mobile medical vans as well as
state immunizations registries, commercial labs and other regional health care
providers.

"Most pediatricians in our region have not yet taken advantage of an
office-based electronic medical record. We`ve developed the Children`s IQ
Network - the first such network in our area that focuses on interconnecting the
healthcare of children," said Dr. Brian Jacobs, Vice President and Chief Medical
Information Officer at Children`s National Medical Center. "After reviewing
systems for nearly two years, we selected eClinicalWorks because of its focus on
a high quality product for children, the success they have achieved in community
settings and the commitment shown to this project."

Children`s IQ Network will connect Children`s National`s employed pediatricians
in its seven D.C. primary care clinics, its D.C. foster care program, and mobile
medical vans through eClinicalWorks software, and will be open for additional
area pediatricians to join. There will be interfaces with Children`s inpatient
Cerner system, commercial laboratory systems, the Sage Intergy EMR in practices
owned by Children`s National and HealthMaster, the EMR to be used by 172 schools
in the District of Columbia. E-prescribing and vaccine registry information for
Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia will be available in the eClinicalWorks
system. All of this will create a Continuity of Care Record (CCR) for the
children of the greater Washington, D.C., area to track and analyze the care
that is being provided and explore opportunities for improved care delivery.
Network practices will also have access to eClinicalWorks Enterprise Business
Optimizer (eBO) for enhanced reporting capabilities.

Mark Weissman, M.D., Medical Director, Children`s National Health Network at
Children`s National, added: "This ambitious network will connect and improve the
quality of care delivered to the children in this region. It also will help us
identify and better understand clinical or administrative issues that may need
improvement."

"Using an electronic health record will make our practice more efficient," said
Tom Sullivan, MD at ALL Pediatrics - the first community practice to join the
project. "The Children`s IQ Network will help us maintain more complete health
records and have better access to all of the information that pertains to our
patients - whether it is from the school nurse or a trip to the hospital - so we
can make the most informed decisions for the children that we treat."

Pediatricians that are part of the Children`s IQ Network will implement
eClinicalWorks unified EMR/PM system using a Software as a Service (SaaS) model
so members are able to access the system via the Internet. The system will
streamline clinical processes between practice locations and promote patient
safety while reducing costs. Providers will also have access to eBO, which uses
meta-data to give the practice more flexibility through the creation of
customized reports and by performing clinical and financial analysis. eEHX will
create a community record that will enable physicians to have access to
patients` vital health information and allow physicians to exchange data more
effectively.

"Children`s National is undertaking a wide-ranging project that will greatly
benefit the care received in the greater Washington, D.C., area," said Girish
Kumar Navani, CEO and co-founder of eClinicalWorks. "We are proud to be chosen
by one of the nation`s top pediatric hospitals and excited to be an integral
part of this groundbreaking physician`s network."
