electronic health records

We prioritize education, innovation, and growth, consistently striving for excellence. Embracing advancing healthcare technology, WTS Health integrates electronic health records (EHRs) to enhance patient outcomes and streamline workflows. Transitioning from paper-based methods to EHRs reduces errors, improves care quality, and lowers healthcare costs. Notably, EHRs facilitate remote access, enabling timely treatments and fostering collaboration among medical professionals. Moreover, these records contribute valuable data for medical advancements and outbreak management, guiding informed decisions.

WTS Health has worked with and evaluated many Electronic Health Record (EHR) companies and solutions, including market-leading commercial packages; proprietary software; and small company/niche products. We have completed EHR implementations in each of our jail contracts. Although each project is unique in scope, we also have the experience and depth to successfully transition a paper-based system into an electronic system in a timely and efficient manner.

After performing a strategic analysis of the EHR marketplace and its impact on correctional health care, we have actively chosen not to internally develop and maintain a proprietary EHR solution. Instead, we actively partner with a wide variety of third party EHR vendors to offer our clients the broadest selection of potential solutions.

By not promoting an internal solution, WTS Health can explore the EHR marketplace in an unbiased fashion and recommend a product that provides the best operational fit and greatest value for each client’s unique situation — without being unduly influenced by our company’s financial gain.

An independent EHR (i.e., one that is not proprietary to a client’s correctional health care vendor) provides benefit to the client at the expiration of the health care contract, as it simplifies transition, ensures data integrity, and maintains continuity of patient care between the outgoing and incoming health care vendors.
