Knoxville Pediatric Associates Goes Live with Noteworthy Medical Systems Electronic Health Records (EHR)
CLEVELAND, OH and KNOXVILLE, TN — May 29, 2007 — Noteworthy Medical Systems, Inc., originator of the three-screen ambulatory electronic health record (EHR) management system, announced today it successfully implemented its NoteworthyEHR software at Knoxville Pediatric Associates ("KPA") in Tennessee. The implementation of NoteworthyEHR enables KPA clinicians and staff to streamline and connect nearly 150,000 annual patient visits across five locations.
"Going live at all five locations simultaneously made for an exciting week. We thoroughly enjoyed the Noteworthy team and were grateful for the assistance they provided. Everyone feels great about what we accomplished," said Patty Adham, KPA';s administrator.
Prior to go live, the Noteworthy Professional Services Team assessed the sites' clinical needs and workflow in order to streamline processes while maintaining each practice's uniqueness. "Our overall concept, which has proved very successful, has been to permit individuality rather than promote or require sameness. Noteworthy was able to work within that environment and provide individual workflows that maximized NoteworthyEHR to each office setting while still maintaining the seamlessness of the overall application," said Timothy W. Thurston, M.D.
The NoteworthyEHR solution provides the practice with a cost-effective, customized system for maintaining, documenting and accessing patient information that supports and enhances the doctor-patient relationship while improving practice efficiencies, safety and profitability. "We selected NoteworthyEHR for a variety of reasons, but we are definitely enjoying the ease of use," said Thurston. "And the teamwork that the Noteworthy system provided our group will only make us stronger."
"Providing the most reusable data of any available EHR, NoteworthyEHR's powerful clinical documentation system enables Knoxville Pediatric Associates to deliver more efficient, more effective pediatric healthcare. KPA can now improve patient safety, master the management of business operations, optimize clinical workflow, and achieve true interoperability among clinics," said Lawrence Dolin, president and CEO of Noteworthy.
