HealthPort wins top honors at Texas EHR Summit

COLUMBIA, S.C. HealthPort was named one of the top two vendors at a recent event held by the Texas Association of Community Health Center entitled the TACHC EHR Summit last month. The company was one of eight national/international electronic health record companies selected to participate.

More than 15 EHR vendors were initially identified as having a community health center appropriate software solution, but the eight finalists were selected when they incorporated CHC-specific clinical and functional elements and then demonstrated how those elements were used in a CHC setting during a web based pre-screening event.

At the summit, a representative from each vendor captured clinical details in a 15-minute, timed-staged encounter. Immediately following each demonstration, audience participants used a keypad to vote on 6 criteria, providing the vendor and attendees immediate feedback on the look, feel, and functionality of the software.

“It was an honor and privilege to have been selected to attend the TACHC EHR Summit. The strength of our CHC product suite was acknowledged by attendees, illustrating why HealthPort has achieved significant CHC marketshare over the past 20 plus years,” says Kerry de Vallette, senior vice president of solution sales for HealthPort.
