News Summary :Boston Business Journal, mentioned in a blog that, eClinicalWorks has won a $5 million contract for the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This will enable the Department of Homeland Security to access EMRs of its patients at all 23 US detention facilities.

News in Detailed:

Westborough-based eClinicalWorks, an electronic health record provider, has won a $5 million bid to create a digital medical records system for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities.The contract, which includes the set-up of the system and maintenance fees for a period eClinicalWorks declined to specify, will enable the Department of Homeland Security to access medical records electronically for its 200,000 patients a year, managing patients at all 23 U.S. detention facilities.

“(It’s) the deployment of a comprehensive electronic health record for every one of their patients,” said eClinicalWorks CEO Girish Navani.

The system will allow the federal agency to track a patient as he or she moves within different medical specialties of a single institution and also as patients move to different detention facilities.

“ICE has a frequent need to send medical information across different locations, which is cumbersome when each site has its own system,” said Capt. Deanna Gephart, deputy assistant director of operations for ICE Health Service Corps, in a release. “The Department has standardized on an EHR system that allows it to seamlessly share information. eClinicalWorks has been working with ICE to rapidly deploy this solution with features that are unique to its organization, demonstrating our commitment as a partner with comprehensive technology.”

Future phases for the program, currently under development with Harris Corporation, will allow patients to take electronic health records with them when they leave the system, Navani said.

The Department of Homeland security used a competitive bid for the project. Navani said eClinicalWorks has the experience necessary to do this kind of project.

The 15-year-old company, which has 4,000 employees, has provided electronic medical record services to the New York State Department of Health and also the San Francisco Health Department. The company was also named a Pacesetter by the Boston Business Journal in 2012 for its rapid growth.
