The Health Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) honored three physician practices for their use of health information technology.
Wayne Obstetrics and Gynecology, of Georgia; Southeast Texas Medical Associates, in Texas; and Sports Medicine & Orthopedic Specialists, in Alabama, received the Ambulatory Care Davies Award. All three have switched to an electronic health record.
"We honored three practices that faced, and overcame, unique challenges when implementing the electronic health record into their operations," said Diane Carr, associate executive director, healthcare information systems, Queens Health Network, and chair of the Ambulatory Care Davies Award committee. "These clinicians and their staffs have been recognized for introducing an EHR system that benefited both the needs of their patients and the practice itself to provide better care and improved efficiencies in that delivery of care."
