McFarland & Associates conducted an extensive vetting process to determine who the leaders in the EHR vendor community are, and what solutions they offer that would meet the needs of the McFarland & Associates physician communities. As an outcome of this vetting process, the Allscripts MyWay solution emerged as a leading solution. During this vetting process Allscripts introduced McFarland & Associates to Elumin Healthcare Solutions known for its exceptional customer service and long standing history in working with the healthcare provider community offering solutions across the U.S. As an outcome of this partnership, Elumin Healthcare Solutions will be the Allscripts reseller for McFarland & Associates customers to purchase the MyWay solution if it is determined to be the “best” and “right” fit for the customer. In addition, Elumin Healthcare Solutions will work with McFarland & Associates nationally on the implementation and support of the McFarland & Associates MyWay customer base to implement best practices and optimization of the MyWay solutions across the U.S.

“This is an exceptional opportunity for us to work with such a nationally recognized firm in its efforts to provide leading programs and services to the independent and minority physician communities across the U.S., helping to achieve the McFarland & Associates vision of blending humanity with technology,” stated Mark Williams, CEO and President of Elumin Healthcare Solutions. ‘It is through the enactment of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, (ARRA) and HITECH act passed in 2009 that physicians are in the early stages of the largest transformation of how healthcare is delivered in our nation. And those with the greatest need are the independent and minority physicians. Our unique skills and experience working in these arenas position us to provide exceptional assistance to our customers throughout the processes of choosing and implementing an EHR solution,” stated George McFarland CEO and President of McFarland & Associates, “and we are very happy to collaborate with Elumin Healthcare Solutions in this endeavor.” Additional information about the MyWay suite of solutions can be found at http://www.eluminhs.com/solutions.html

Through its agreement with Allscripts — a leader in software, services, information, and connectivity solutions for physicians and hospitals – Elumin will leverage its existing and extensive business and clinical expertise coupled with its technology expertise within the healthcare vertical market to expand and accelerate the adoption of the Allscripts MyWay EHR.  The integrated Electronic Health Record and practice management solution from Allscripts will enable Elumin to address and support the growing interest among physicians and small practices in qualifying for significant new federal incentive payments. Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, physicians who use a certified EHR qualify for the maximum incentive of $44,000 paid over five years, beginning in fiscal 2011. Widespread use of Electronic Health Records is one of the central tenets of President Barack Obama’s plan to improve healthcare quality, safety and efficiency.

About MyWay

The Allscripts MyWay EHR offers Electronic Health Record, practice management and claims management. The integrated solution automates everyday clinical and business tasks while electronically connecting physicians and other caregivers to pharmacies, labs, insurers and other key healthcare stakeholders. Designed specifically to meet the needs of small physician practices, the Allscripts MyWay EHR is available via Software as a Service (SaaS) over the Internet or as an on-premise application installed on a server. The web-based SaaS approach provides additional flexibility by enabling physician practices to avoid many upfront and ongoing expenses tied to equipment, IT personnel and operations. Small practices can focus solely on treating patients, while letting Allscripts handle technology components such as maintaining servers, performing backups, installing upgrades, and managing firewalls and security.

“Elumin continues to strive to excel in the healthcare vertical by offering complete end-to-end solutions that are adaptable and solve business and clinical critical issues.  Our agreement with Allscripts enables us to equip physicians and small medical practices with a real and complete healthcare solution that solves business operation, compliance and workflow issues. What independent physicians and small medical practices need is a total solution that improves their productivity and controls costs, and we are delighted to team up with Allscripts in this endeavor,” stated Mark Williams, Founder and President at Elumin Healthcare Solutions.
