WCH proudly introduces the WCH iSmart EMR. The WCH IT department, has been working around the clock, as much as 17 hours a day to develop and design an Electronic Medical Record that is easy to navigate, efficient to use and is integrated with our billing service. The WCH iSmart EMR is currently undergoing the process of certification to ensure that the necessary technological capability, functionality and security standards are met. The road for certification is difficult and lengthy. However, WCH follows a defined process to ensure that our EMR technology meets the adopted standards to so that our providers achieve the measures and objectives of Meaningful use as outlined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services (CMS).
WCH iSmart EMR is more than 50% complete and is currently being further developed. In the near future we are planning to get certified by Dr. First
(e-prescribing vendor) to meet one of the next certification criteria. At this time we began the certification process with Drummond group Inc. This upcoming fall the WCH iSmart EMR is going to be fully certified.
