Practice Partner Wins Best EMR Award Three Years Running at TEPR
05/25/2006 SEATTLE – Practice Partner, a leader in the development of electronic health records (EHR) and practice management software, received the Best Electronic Medical Record Award for the third consecutive year at the Medical Records Institute’s (MRI) prestigious 2006 TEPR (Towards the Electronic Patient Record) Awards.
The 2006 awards, announced on May 22, 2006, gave Practice Partner’s EHR product, Patient Records, first honors in the Small Practice category and third honors in the Medium/Large Practice category. This was the third consecutive year Patient Records has been a finalist in both categories, a first for any EHR vendor. This is also the third consecutive year that Patient Records has been named Best EMR.
Andrew G. Ury, M.D., founder and CEO of Practice Partner, commented, “To be judged so highly for both small and large practices out of dozens of EHR vendors is very gratifying and underscores our mission to provide solutions that help practices increase productivity and improve quality of care.”
TEPR is considered one of health IT’s premier events, showcasing close to 200 EHR and related technology vendors. The annual TEPR Awards are a highlight of the show and considered by many to be the most important and high-profile EHR awards today. The award selection process has two phases. The first phase took place during March and April 2006 when an independent panel of judges reviewed the award applications, scored each entry, and selected the top three finalists for each category. Those finalists presented and/or demonstrated their solutions live to a panel of independent judges. The 24-judge panel was led by Barry Blumenfeld, MD, MS, Associate Director, Clinical Informatics R&D, Partners Healthcare System and Scott Faulkner, CEO, InterFix, LLC.
