E-health records hit Sam’s Clubs in three states

By Mass High Tech staff

E-health systems developed by medical software maker eClinicalWorks LLC and Dell Inc. are now available in Sam’s Club stores in Virginia, Illinois and Georgia. The companies said the e-health records could be available in Sam’s Club nationally later this year.

Electronic medical records have hit obstacles in the form of costs, according to a statement by Sam’s Club senior vice president Charles Redfield. Now, users can access the records through the Internet, using a software as a service (SaaS) model.

Last month, Mass High Tech reported on Westborough-based eClinicalWorks’ plan , noting that the company would provide training, software maintenance, services, and upgrades for about $25,000 in up front costs to physicians -- about half of a typical installation.

The article showed that the first-year cost of $25,000 will be primarily for the hardware, including PCs, printers, modem and scanners. The annual subsequent subscription price would run from about $4,400 to $6,000 a year thereafter, depending on the number of participants, according to eClinicalWorks CEO Girish Navani. Physician practice management software is also included.
