New York State’s largest health system and longtime Allscripts partner, Northwell Health, was at the epicenter of the outbreak in its initial stages. The system is powered by more than 72,000 clinicians and administrators, and many of its facilities use the Sunrise electronic health record to treat patients and analyze data to identify trends to help improve patient outcomes amidst the pandemic.
“COVID-19 is impacting patients in ways we have never seen before, and it’s critical we study the vast amount of data we’ve collected to continue to refine our treatment plans,” said Northwell Health Senior Vice President and Deputy Physician-in-Chief Thomas McGinn, MD, MPH. “With Allscripts as our trusted partner and its solutions in our arsenal, we’re tackling the spread of the disease and learning how to better manage this crisis.”
Working closely with its clients,, Allscripts has helped healthcare organizations rapidly implement telehealth capabilities to enable virtual patient visits at many organizations. Throughout the COVID-19 experience, more than 100 Allscripts clients have selected FollowMyHealth Telehealth, which creates engagement of patients in their homes and fosters increased communication between them and their healthcare providers.
Hackley Community Care Center—located in Muskegon Heights, Michigan—recently and very quickly enabled virtual patient visits using Allscripts Professional EHR Mobile and FollowMyHealth. The accomplishment meant its more than 50 caregivers in 14 locations seeing 300–350 patients a day could meet the COVID-19 pandemic head on while still serving all of its patients.
