eClinicalWorks®, one of the largest ambulatory cloud EHRs, announced that Bucksport Regional Health Center, a Maine-based Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), is successfully leveraging eClinicalWorks and healow® to improve patient engagement and care access. The FQHC is utilizing the eClinicalWorks patient portal, healow App, and healow TeleVisits™ and has since reported enhancing its virtual patient care by web-enabling 60% of the total patient population.

“Telehealth has become integral to delivering quality care,” Jessica Fernald, Clinical Application Specialist at Bucksport Regional Health Center. “Telehealth services have become widely used for our behavioral health med management services. We have two psychology Family Nurse Practitioners (FNPs) who work from home and provide Med Management Services to patients. This is the highest used telehealth visit we see in use, even after the pandemic.”

The healow App is a comprehensive platform that offers patients access to their health records, telehealth services, messaging, appointment reminders, notes, and medication management. The HIPAA-compliant virtual visit platform, healow TeleVisits, offers, pre-visit questionnaires, vitals capture, and screen sharing. This allows providers to care for patients anytime, anywhere, through any device. The convenience of telehealth has led the health center to improve patient satisfaction and access to health services.

“Bucksport Regional Health Center’s success is a testament of how technology can transform healthcare delivery for all specialties,” said Girish Navani, CEO and cofounder of eClinicalWorks. “eClinicalWorks is uniquely poised to help health centers with unified health solutions that enhance patient engagement and streamline operations. Through advanced solutions we aim to empower health centers and providers to offer quality care, which is vital in today’s competitive healthcare landscape.”

Through the eClinicalWorks patient portal, the health center can empower patients to update demographics, complete forms and questionnaires, request prescription refills, access educational materials, request appointments through healow® Open Access®, join a telehealth visit, make a payment, and more.
