Common use of El Rio Community Health Center Clause in Contracts

El Rio Community Health Center. At Arizona’s El Rio Community Health Center, switching to an EHR system helped providers set up CPAs with local pharmacists for the center’s 800 patients who are receiving diabetes management services. Doctors and nurse practitioners refer patients to the pharma- cist through the EHR. The pharmacist care plan is then documented in the EHR, along with a copy of the CPA. Changes to patients’ medications—such as the intro- duction of a new medication or a change to a current prescription—are tracked in the system, and this infor- mation is accessible to the provider and pharmacist. The new system has created demand for more resources to be devoted to HIT services and data collection and storage.10
