Path To Progress

What we are witnessing is "the single fastest transformation of an industry in the history of the United States." The commentator: Glen Tullman, CEO of Allscripts. The industry: healthcare, where system vendors like Tullman's are at the center of driving that digital transformation.

The IT challenge before the healthcare industry (HIT) is less like the mainstream adoption of email and the Internet and more like what companies went through in the 1990s to automate their financial, manufacturing, HR, supply chain management and sales processes by way of ERP, CRM, and related enterprise applications.

HIT systems enable physicians with clinical solutions to help provide better, more efficient care for patients:

          • Empower patients and staff with online clinical resources
          • Implement EMRs for all patients
          • Improve ease of patient care with in-office lab solutions
          • Accelerate patient treatment with ePrescribing solutions

Practices are able to automate the processes that have typically required hours of administrative time, helping staff work more efficiently. Through web-based technology, not software, physicians are empowered to practice medicine and manage their practice—anytime, anywhere.
