Alaska EHR Selection Project
e-MDs and Greenway Medical selected after 8-month due diligence process The Alaska EHR Alliance.
The Alaska EHR Alliance is pleased to announce the selection of two outstanding EHR vendors to recommend to Alaska providers, e-MDs and Greenway. With more than 250 vendors to choose from, the process was thorough and lengthy. Funded by the Alaska eHealth Network through a grant from the State of Alaska, the project was initiated because statistics show that one of the top barriers to adopting an EHR is the difficulty deciding which EHR to choose. Read more about the selection process. The five finalist vendors were: Allscripts; Amazing Charts; eClinicalWorks; e-MDs; and Greenway. For information about the two endorsed vendors or to schedule a demonstration, go to Greenway and to e-MDs.

When critical information is available in real time at the point of care, the risk of a medical error is greatly decreased. And, when past test results are included in the EHR, duplicate and expensive tests may not be needed.
No need to repeat your medical and personal history, contact data, or insurance and billing information! You give it once, and it’s in your EHR. Decreased paperwork and immediate access to records, labs and other test results increases efficiencies and lowers costs for all involved, including you, the patient. 
With an Electronic Health Record (EHR) providers have secure, immediate access to your essential medical information to support quick, accurate diagnoses and treatment. 
Paper records are still in use in many facilities; they are unwieldy and easily damaged and require outdated and error-prone faxed or telephoned exchange of information. Contrast them with electronic health records that have legally-mandated safeguards built in to ensure your privacy and the secure exchange of your medical information.
