Adult Medicine of Lake County, serving a largely geriatric population in a rural area north of Orlando, Florida, has successfully implemented interoperability solutions through eClinicalWorks. Exchanging patient data and tracking each patient’s history have been key factors in providing high-quality care to their patients, who include many seasonal residents; controlling costs by improving visibility and thus reducing redundant and unnecessary tests; and even deterring patients who may be seeking an office visit solely to obtain an opioid prescription.
