“The Electronic Health Record is a powerful tool to improve the quality of
care and practice efficiency while enhancing patient satisfaction,” said J.

offer our patients the most advanced technology and medical treatment possible
while providing the highest level of personalized care.”

National Jewish Medical and Research Center is known worldwide for

world dedicated exclusively to these disorders. For nine consecutive years,
U.S. News & World Report has ranked National Jewish the No. 1 respiratory
hospital in the nation.

The TouchWorks Electronic Health Record
( https://www.allscripts.com/touchworks ) brings NJMRC’s physicians instant
access to patient information when and where they need it — at the hospital,
in their offices, or while on-call at home. TouchWorks speeds and automates
everyday clinical tasks such as prescribing and refilling medications,
ordering and reviewing tests, and documenting care. An easy-to-use and
customizable solution, TouchWorks features robust clinical tools that support
safe medical practices, including health maintenance alerts, clinical decision
support, and automated drug interaction checking.

National Jewish selected Allscripts following a lengthy evaluation of
Electronic Health Record offerings and after visiting several other groups
that have successfully implemented the Allscripts solution.

“Allscripts has more experience than any other Electronic Health Record
vendor in large complex clinical environments, especially when it comes to
interfacing multiple clinical systems,” said Singleton, who added that the
interface between TouchWorks and NJMRC’s Picture Archiving and Communication
System was critical to Allscripts selection. “Our physicians found the user
interface especially attractive, and we feel very comfortable with the
company’s stability and long track record of successful implementations.”

Glen Tullman, Chief Executive Officer of Allscripts, commented, “National
Jewish Medical and Research Center is the nation’s premier provider of
respiratory, immune and allergic care, and we are proud to partner with them.
Given their reputation, we couldn’t think of a better partner to help us
extend the value of an Electronic Health Record from delivering quality care
to advancing clinical research breakthroughs.”
