NORMAN, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evident LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CPSI (NASDAQ:CPSI) and a leading provider of electronic health record (EHR) systems and services, and J.D. McCarty Center, a specialized pediatric rehabilitative hospital in Norman, Oklahoma, jointly announce that the hospital has chosen Evident’s EHR solution.
The J.D. McCarty Center for Children with Developmental Disabilities, located on an 80-acre campus in Norman, is operated with funding from the State of Oklahoma. A staff of more than 200 treats children with a large range of developmental disabilities. There are six hospital units on the campus, all of which will implement the new EHR system.
In addition to the clinical and financial management software from the Evident EHR solution, the hospital will employ services from TruBridge, a member of the CPSI family of healthcare information companies, including secure cloud management of the hospital’s data and the management of insurance remittance, eligibility and other tracking functions associated with revenue cycle management.
Vicki Kuestersteffen, director and chief executive officer of J.D. McCarty Center, said, “This partnership allows us to employ a fully integrated set of technology solutions across our hospital care setting. The technology will be crucial for us as we seek to constantly improve the quality and outcomes of the care we provide every day to Oklahoma’s children with special needs, plus sharpen our financial management and operations.
“In addition to the quality of Evident’s EHR solutions, their superior implementation program, thoughtfulness in their approach and continuous support were important factors in the hospital’s choice following a thorough competitive review,” added Kuestersteffen.
Boyd Douglas, president and chief executive officer of CPSI, said, “We are honored to be working in partnership with the J.D. McCarty Center, which is a national leader in delivering medical and therapeutic care utilizing a wide range of interventions to children.
“This combination of technology solutions from our family of HCIT companies demonstrates our expanding capability to deliver a tailored and comprehensive set of solutions for J.D. McCarty Center’s important work, as well as for other healthcare organizations,” added Douglas.
