Business Wire
QuadraMed Corporation (NASDAQ: QDHC), a leading provider of
healthcare information technologies and services that help turn
quality care into positive financial outcomes, today announced that
New Jersey-based, University Medical Center at Princeton, a unit of
Princeton HealthCare System, will offer an ambulatory electronic
health record to its affiliated physician practices. The
award-winning EHR solution, supplied by e-MDs in collaboration with
QuadraMed, will provide clinicians with access to complete patient
information across the continuum of care.
“As a QuadraMed customer for over a decade, we naturally turned
to them for an EHR solution that would fulfill our vision of
coordinated care based upon a longitudinal patient record,” said
Nick Thimis, CIO of Princeton Healthcare Systems. “Today,
affiliated physician practices can easily access patient
information stored within our hospital’s clinical systems for
improved decision-making and patient care.”
The e-MDs CCHIT Certified® EHR solution has earned top rankings
in objective evaluations sponsored by independent third parties
such as the American College of Physicians and the American Academy
of Family Physicians.
“I can’t overemphasize the importance of linking inpatient and
ambulatory patient history to help ensure greater safety and
quality of care,” said Michael Stearns, M.D., president and CEO of
e-MDs. “In the past, the technical complexities of integration has
limited health information exchange between hospitals and physician
practices. Our partnership with QuadraMed resolves the issue with
built-in interoperability, enabling access to secure, accurate and
updated patient healthcare information to physicians across the
continuum of care. This collaboration, coupled with Princeton
HealthCare System’s record of excellence, represents a significant
step toward the nationwide vision of community based
healthcare.”

Medical Center at Princeton a complete suite of healthcare
technology solutions to help them meet the 'meaningful use'
requirements of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
and help them attain stimulus funds,” said Duncan W. James,
president and CEO of QuadraMed. “e-MDs’ ambulatory EHR solution is
a perfect complement to the hospital’s QuadraMed EHR solution,
enabling the organization to increase their return on investment
and realize additional improvements in patient safety and
care.”
