Community Medical and Dental Care, a federally qualified health center (FQHC) in New York, has selected the Allscripts Health Center Solution for its 30 multispecialty physicians.
The system includes electronic health record (EHR), practice management, and advanced reporting functionality designed to meet the clinical, administrative, and financial needs of FQHCs and other community health clinics that focus on caring for the uninsured and other economically disadvantaged populations.
As part of the Allscripts Health Center Solution, Community Medical and Dental Care will implement EHR and revenue cycle technology from Allscripts, including practice management and claims processing. This will enable the clinic to verify a patient's insurance eligibility in real-time, and to view the results in the schedule and other relevant areas of the practice management system.
"We expect that the Allscripts Health Center Solution will significantly improve clinical quality by helping our providers track the care of each patient to make sure that they are receiving the preventive and chronic care services that they need," said Chana Amsel, chief fiscal officer of Community Medical and Dental Care. "We also anticipate that the new billing system will help us maintain a more predictable cash flow by automating the preparation of claims in the many different formats that our payors require."
