These engagements include management and leadership services, strategic planning, methodology development, qualitative research and evaluation, white paper/report development, and communications strategies.
Client Profile
University Health Systems (UHS) is a six hospital system in Eastern North Carolina. In November of 2008, UHS went live with Epic's EMR, including CPOE and physician documentation, in three of their hospitals. This impressive three hospital go-live completed the clinical roll-out for all six of their hospitals.
Clinovations provided services to UHS for go-live support, EMR optimization and long-term physician enagement strategies.
Dr. Clyde Brooks, system CMIO, said that "the bottom line is that Dr. Williams understands the need to move our industry to leave paper and the 19th century. Healthcare is in need of more leaders like Dr. Williams who can translate our needed path to physicians and other leaders in health care. He has a gift at communicating how to get there."
