At eClinicalWorks, "improving healthcare together" is more than our mission statement. It's a philosophy that both informs everything we do and encourages our clients to work with us toward shared success. In the simplest terms, it amounts to this: Safe use plus safe technology equals patient safety.

We strongly recommend that you read the advisory on patient safety that was published in December 2015. Upon log in to the customer support portal you will find the advisory. We ask that you follow the recommended actions and workflows as outlined in the advisory.

At eClinicalWorks, we have always focused on patient safety in the development of our products. In the year ahead, we'll be doing the following to educate how safe use plus safe technology equals patient safety:

• Webinars
• Advisories
• Giving customers the ability to flag cases as "patient safety"
• Education at weekly eClinicalWorks Day events
• Internal company trainings

In 2016, let's continue to fulfill our mission of improving healthcare together by renewing our shared commitment to the health, safety and well-being of all those whom we serve. Please look for our first webinar in March 2016.
