MOBILE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evident LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CPSI (NASDAQ: CPSI) and a leading provider of electronic health record (EHR) systems and services for community hospitals, today announced that two Paragon clients, Jenkins County Medical Center and Monroe Regional Hospital, have contracted to implement the full suite of Thrive EHR solutions.
Following the recent acquisition of Jenkins County Medical Center, the GA Medical Holdings Corp. followed the input and recommendation from several employees and the hospital administrator. Jenkins County Medical Center had previously been an Evident client. Several employees had experience with the solution and recommended that Thrive EHR would best meet their needs now and well into the future.
“The familiarity with Thrive and the Evident team played a significant role in our EHR selection process,” said Jenkins administrator Earl Whiteley. “Meeting our compressed timeline was also an indication of the dedication the Evident team had to our success.”
Mississippi-based Monroe Regional Hospital selected Evident based on the recommendations from the management group, Alliant Management Services. Monroe Regional Hospital, also a Paragon client, was at a crossroads and needed to implement an EHR that would work for them for many years to come. The owner’s top priority was to provide Monroe Regional Hospital with the ability to deliver the same high level of quality healthcare that the region has come to expect from them. Working with a solid EHR from a partner with an historical presence in community healthcare is an important component to their success.
“Our experience and longevity means everything to community healthcare leaders and providers,” said Boyd Douglas, president and chief executive officer for CPSI. “With more than 35 years of serving the community healthcare market, our knowledge and durability speak for themselves when referrals like these come our way. We are very proud of what we have accomplished together, and we look forward to our continued partnership with hospitals and communities such as Jenkins and Monroe.”
