  • The Harbin Clinic: Early Adoption of EMR Advantages and Challenges
    The Harbin Clinic: Early Adoption of EMR Advantages and Challenges Introduction Dr. Ken Davis leaned back in his desk chair, one ankle hooked on his knee, and reflected on the events of his day. Once again, the decision had been made to make another big change at The Harbin Clinic in order to improve patient care. The Clinic had made the decision to move from their current electronic medical record (EMR)1 vendor and select new software, a new electronic medical record, and a new vendor. Dr. Davis, along with the Information Technology director, Angie McWhorter, had taken all things into consideration- the support staff, the size of the company, how dedicated the company would be to The Harbin Clinic, and whether the new technology would allow The Harbin Clinic to successfully comply with the federal government’s meaningful use mandate. When he accepted the position of CEO in 2002, Davis had told the board of directors that he would only do this for two years. And yet here he was, ten years later. Davis sighed to himself. He realized that while they had made many advancements in the past decade, in some ways the Harbin Clinic was about to face the same issues once again. While the physicians and staff were now accustomed to using an electronic medical record, the Clinic would still have to undergo another implementation process, one that would include many difficulties. Given the amount of pressure on him today, he could only imagine how Dr. Ferguson, his predecessor, had felt when he had made the decision to introduce electronic medical records into the daily operations of the Harbin Clinic for the first time in 1999.

  • Behind the 2017 Report to the Community Welcome Behind the Green
    GreenBehind the 2017 Report to the Community Welcome Behind the Green Seventy-five years ago, Floyd Hospital opened its doors as the community hospital for Rome and Floyd County. An entire election centered on the call for a facility that would provide care to all comers in a post-Depression, World War II-wary community. That mission continues today. Seventy-five years later, the Floyd health system still maintains that mission and commitment to community leadership, even as it has grown to include multiple hospitals, a Primary Care network and a Family Medicine Residency program. Over the years Floyd has been a catalyst for growth and, today, it continues to be an economic engine for northwest Georgia as the county’s largest employer. Behind the Green is a review of the people, programs and compassionate acts over the past year that help tell the Floyd story. We are a not-for-profit community hospital, but what does that mean? It means we invest in our community by working in our schools and industries, by educating and screening our neighbors and by adding services and improving our facilities. And, we do all of that with a heart of compassion that you’ll read about in the pages that follow. You’ll also discover an important number, $72.8 million, which is the total cost of care Floyd and Polk provided to people in our community who could not afford to pay for their own care. On this page are elements that we assembled over the past two years to tell our 75-year story.

  • Harbin Clinic Chooses Allscripts Healthcare Solutions to Automate Patient Records
    Harbin Clinic Chooses Allscripts Healthcare Solutions to Automate Patient Records July 31, 2002 CHICAGO, Jul 31, 2002 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Georgia's Largest Privately Owned Multi-Specialty Practice Builds mEMR with TouchWorks Allscripts Healthcare Solutions (Nasdaq: MDRX), the leading provider of point-of-care decision support tools for physicians, announced today that Harbin Clinic (Harbin), the largest privately owned multi-specialty practice in Georgia, has selected the full suite of TouchWorks(TM) modules for an initial group of physicians. Harbin expects to implement the TouchWorks Dictate(TM) and TouchWorks Document(TM) modules in the next six to eight weeks and will ultimately roll out the full TouchWorks suite of clinical applications using the Allscripts mobile and modular approach to the electronic medical record, or mEMR(TM). Physician Accessibility Is Key to Choosing a Solution With many of their physicians practicing medicine outside their main clinic, Harbin sought a technological means to consolidate patient information, yet enable their physicians to access this data anytime and anywhere. In choosing a solution, Harbin focused on four criteria: 1) multiple hardware form factors and access points -- including wireless handheld device (PDA) access, 2) a modular implementation strategy, 3) integration with their existing IDX practice management system, and 4) a server-based application model. Harbin determined that Allscripts was the only vendor that met all of these conditions. "We knew technology was the key to collecting patient data from multiple points and delivering it back to the physicians where and when they need it," said J. Paul Ferguson, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Harbin Clinic.
