RICHARD BOYLES, MD<br>LOW COUNTRY HEALTH CARE SYSTEM

Patient care is what it’s all about. That’s what we’re there for and with FQHCs it’s even that much more important because our patient population is up to 50% uninsured. When we can tailor our system to our population, that enables us to greatly improves the care in our area. This is my fifth EHR and it’s by far the best. What sets CGM APRIMA apart from the rest is ease of use- the way that I can build it for my needs and adjust it on the fly. That’s the best part of it.

CGM APRIMA gives providers the EHR interoperability tools they need to connect with patient data in the way that works best for them, and, just as importantly, those with whom they need to connect.

Whether that is with a point to point interface, integration with a Health Information Exchange (HIE), direct messaging, or with participation in our national network partners’ programs such as Surescripts and CommonWell.

CGM APRIMA integrates with multiple in-house solutions like FHIR API, appointment reminders, telehealth, EDI, billing services, and more.
