CDW Healthcare has partnered with meridianEMR, which provides an interoperable electronic health record (EHR) solution for Urologists, compatible with physician practice management systems and advanced healthcare analytics. CDW Healthcare will be the preferred provider of information technology infrastructure and services for meridianEMR solutions.

A concern for doctors is the expected decline in the number of patients that they will be able to care for daily due to the workflow impact – the single-most expensive component of EHR adoption, according to a national survey of physician practices by CDW.

The CDW Healthcare has focused intently on reducing the workflow disruption during adoption by providing tailored, comprehensive IT solutions that complete an EHR software implementation. As a result of the partnership, CDW Healthcare and meridianEMR now deliver all of the components required for a Urology or General Surgery practice to successfully make the transition to Meaningful Use at the lowest total cost to the physicians.

To speed up and simplify the IT elements of EHR adoption, CDW Healthcare delivers fully-compatible infrastructure to deploy the meridianEMR suite. In addition, CDW Healthcare provides the complementary services and IT solutions required to tailor each EHR to the specific physician practice.  This enables each practice to use a mix of new and existing technology to get precisely the IT infrastructure it needs to support meridianEMR, reducing the overall cost of adoption.
