YORK, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evident LLC, a subsidiary of CPSI (NASDAQ: CPSI), today announced that Hill Hospital of Sumter County in York, Alabama, has selected the Evident Electronic Health Records (EHR) solution, Thrive, to integrate with their existing Evident Financial Management solution, bringing greater efficiency to facility operations. Hill Hospital is a 33-bed acute care facility that serves York and the surrounding areas.
Integration was a key part of the decision-making process for Hill Hospital. Loretta Wilson, chief executive officer at Hill Hospital of Sumter County, said, “Being able to connect our EHR with our financial information will help streamline the flow of information between our clinical and front-office teams, resulting in better communication and ultimately a better experience for the patients we serve.”
Wilson explained that when faced with the need to upgrade or change their EHR system, Hill Hospital conducted an extensive review of various vendors. They selected Evident not only because of the functionality of the clinical EHR and system integration capabilities, but also because of Evident’s track record of successful implementation for smaller, community hospitals.
“Evident understands the challenges faced by community hospitals like ours,” said Wilson. “We appreciate that they are able to tailor their systems, installation and processes to meet our needs.”
“We are pleased to expand on our successful partnership with Hill Hospital with the implementation of our full and complete Thrive EHR solution,” said Boyd Douglas, president and chief executive officer of CPSI, the parent company of Evident. “We strive to ensure that our products support facilities like Hill Hospital by creating operating efficiencies so they can focus on providing quality patient care and improving the health and vitality of their community.”
