Healthcare technology leader CPSI (CPSI) today announced that rural and community hospitals in eight states have recently selected the Company’s technology solutions. CPSI and its family of businesses are a leading provider of healthcare IT solutions and services for community hospitals and post-acute care facilities nationwide.
“We are pleased to announce that in the last three months, hospitals in Texas, Michigan, Georgia, Missouri, Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi and Pennsylvania have selected CPSI and our EHR solutions to address the unique needs of their patients and the rural communities they serve,” said Boyd Douglas, president and chief executive officer of CPSI.
One of the new customers, Peggy Moore, director of operations at Campbellton-Graceville Hospital in Florida, said her organization’s choice of CPSI’s Evident EHR was strongly influenced by CPSI’s deep experience with rural and community hospitals. Moore noted her hospital’s selection of CPSI was made easier because staff members working at surrounding hospitals with CPSI technology endorsed the changeover.
Moore said, “We needed a comprehensive EHR where patient data would meet the tough compliance requirements in our state. This solution will mean total peace of mind for us. When auditors come in, we can pull reports and data on demand, while improving our patient data across our entire operation.”
Douglas added, “CPSI solutions are taking hold across the country because we do not take a ‘one size fits all’ approach with our customers. We are their partner, providing them with tailored solutions that meet the special needs and challenges facing rural and community hospitals, both now and into the future.”
Douglas said an example of the Company’s dedication to small hospitals is CPSI’s recent announcement of a partnership with Caravan Health to help hospitals develop clinical practices and infrastructure to navigate complex value-based reimbursement requirements. The trend in healthcare delivery and reimbursement is and will continue to be measured by improved healthcare outcomes, the quality of healthcare provided, and the ability to keep people healthy through preventive care and patient engagement.
Douglas added, “As this correlation continues to take hold, it is important that we help our clients understand how they can be successful in this value-based healthcare model. Our philosophy is to be more than a technology provider; we will be a true partner and trusted advisor to improve community healthcare in rural communities.”
Marc Augsburger, president and chief executive officer of Caro Community Hospital in Caro, Michigan, said his hospital’s thorough review of technology systems led them to CPSI, in part because CPSI has an excellent understanding of how rural hospitals need to operate as an important asset to the community.
“We see them as a partner for the future of healthcare in our community,” Augsburger said. “There is a direct link between technology and quality of care.”
According to Douglas, more than 1,300 facilities nationwide employ CPSI technology solutions, including its Electronic Health Record (EHR) – one system, one patient record across the care continuum, plus its complete financial and revenue cycle management solution set to help hospitals better manage financial operations and reporting all while improving cash flow.
