Columbia University Medical Center physicians select Allscripts
HealthLeaders News Brief, September 11, 2007
Columbia University Medical Center has selected EMR software from Allscripts for its outpatient physician group and planned community-based Independent Practice Association. Columbia's physician group represents nearly 2,200 faculty members that count among their ranks 16 past and current winners of the Nobel Prize in medicine or physiology, and 45 members of the Institute of Medicine.
Although Columbia is implementing the EMR for physician outpatient offices, Allscripts will interface to the New York-Presbyterian Hospital inpatient clinical information system. This will enable physicians and staff in Columbia's faculty practice to have access to key clinical information on each patient including the medication history, problem list, allergies, and hospital notes.
