NextGen EHR System |

| Amount Requested: $157,300 |
|
| Funding is requested for Northwest Healthcare to partner with four other Rhode Island Community Health Centers to implement the NextGen Practice Management System and Electronic Health Record at its Pascoag, North Kingstown and Foster sites. This funding is to purchase the remaining software and hardware needed to complete the transition and would be the final request of a multi-year project. In an effort to continue to serve its community, this service expansion will improve efficiency. This project directly serves patients, some of whom are low income, in the nine communities Northwest is designated to serve: Burrillville, East Greenwich, Exeter, Foster, Glocester, North Kingstown, Scituate, Smithfield, and West Greenwich, as well as those who live outside the service area but who choose to get their care at one of the three Northwest facilities. In 2008, Northwest treated 11,737 patients. |
