Iowa’s Health IT Regional Extension Center (REC) has selected eClinicalWorks unified EMR and practice management system as a preferred ambulatory vendor for its primary care providers state-wide.

The technology will help more than 1,200 physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners throughout the state of Iowa, according to eClinicalWorks, based in Westborough, Mass.

The national REC program has granted $598 million to establish 60 centers. This will bring together group practices, critical access hospitals, community health centers and relation healthcare organizations through sustainable two-year grants, eClinicalWorks stated.
