Recent post from Medical Quack. Last week it was posted MMRF paid for advertising or was the sponsor of Medical Quack. There are several advertisers on the site & it is my understanding the gal that runs The Medical Quack operates strictly from donations made to it.


CVS Flip Flops With Medical Records Choice For Minute Clinics, Selecting Epic, Did Allscripts Lose Some Potential Business? In 2012 They Were Announced As the CVS Choice

Well that didn’t last too long as the original electronic medical record used by the clinics were their own home grown EMR which was based on systems created by e-Clinical Works. So I guess they didn’t have time to convert any clinics over to Allscripts.



Minute Clinics Moving to Allscripts Medical Records System So I Guess E-Clinical Works Who Started With CVS Clinics Is Out the Door? How Do Medium/Small Companies Compete with Huge Corporate Conglomerates

Here’s what was said in February of 2012, two years ago (from the link above)

"MinuteClinic is partnering with Allscripts to assure that we are utilizing the most advanced electronic health record platform in the market," said Andrew Sussman, M.D., president, MinuteClinic and senior vice president/associate chief medical officer, CVS Caremark. "This will help support our nurse practitioners and physician assistants in continuing to meet and exceed the high standards we have set for quality and adherence to practice guidelines."

One of the first things that comes to mind here is that they want to be able to have records that communicate with hospitals. A couple weeks ago we had the bit marketing push from CVS about the tobacco, and of course there will be more data sold to make up some of the revenue.
