“OCHIN gave our Federally Qualified Community Health Center access to an EMR we never could have accessed on our own. This system has had a very positive impact on our patient experience since we began using the system in November 2010.”

“Changing from paper to electronic records is a huge paradigm shift and its implementation is far more complex than I would have ever imagined. But OCHIN and its implementation team made an overwhelming task organized, doable, achievable and most importantly, fun!”
Amit Shah, MD

“A community health center cannot do an adequate job of measuring patient outcomes or redesigning how primary care is delivered, without an electronic medical record. That’s why we chose OCHIN Epic – the best EMR available.”
Robert Marsalli
Northwest Regional Primary Care Association

“I believe so much in OCHIN that I put two of the family medicine clinics at OHSU (Richmond and Scappoose) on OCHIN-Epic to support their sustainability. Even though we already had Epic at the Hospital, I wanted to rally around this new partner. After getting involved with the clinics, I took a moral leap of faith (joining the board) and I’m still committed.”

High praises for OCHIN O-HITEC and our Business Partners at our November 2011 Learning Forum
“We have halved our AR and are now exceeding national standards for collection timeliness. This is not something that we could have done on our own.”
Jim Carlson, Administrator,
Asher Community Health Center
“We’re really excited about the product. For this year, the main things we’ll use this platform for are to provide e-modules as make-up training for staff who missed any compliance-type trainings that we did live at their site earlier this year. We’ve also decided to deliver our annual Ethics and Fraud training only as an e-module, delivered through the BridgeFront system. The modules are easy to customize, so we can take an existing module and add our own policy language, workflows, etc. Our managers and staff are excited about the large library of courses offered.”
Eric Oslund, MSW Employee Performance and Talent Development Manager
Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center
“Dragon has been one of the most important tools we have used at La Clinica to help providers increase productivity and satisfaction with Epic. It is not for all providers, but for many of our providers, with the proper support and set-up, it has made a bigger impact than anything else we’ve tried.”
Simon Parker-Shames, Systems Analyst/EMR Support
“I was introduced to Peer Technologies at the 2010 OCHIN Learning Forum. We’ve had a history of not getting good information technology services out here in rural Oregon. If I was to give Peer Technologies a grade for their information technology services to Asher Community Health Center, it would be an A. I highly recommend them.”
