Not-for-profit healthcare organization one of 63 to earn highest designation through use of Allscripts Sunrise™ EHR solution

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 12, 2019-- Allscripts (NASDAQ: MDRX) client Hendrick Health System, located in Abilene, TX, has achieved the prestigious Stage 7, the highest level attainable, on the HIMSS Analytics Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAM). This award recognizes Hendrick Health System’s adoption of technology to optimize patient care in a seamless patient record environment using a single Electronic Health Record (EHR) throughout the enterprise.

The HIMSS Analytics Electronic Medical Record Adoption Models use a methodology that measures progress and cumulative capabilities of EMR systems within organizations. According to HIMSS Analytics, there are eight stages (0-7) that measure a hospital or medical group implementation and utilization of information technology applications. The final stage, Stage 7, represents the most advanced patient record environment. The validation process to confirm a group has reached Stage 7 includes a site visit by an executive from HIMSS Analytics and former or current chief information officers to ensure an unbiased evaluation of the Stage 7 environments.

“The EMRAM Stage 7 Award recognizes our effort to create an informed and empowered community of providers, innovators and individuals, enabling an ever-improving state of health and wellness,” said Duane Donaway, director for Technology at Hendrick Health System. “Allscripts Sunrise EHR has been the ideal, robust solution for our organization, managing our clinical, financial and operational needs.”
