Research Analysis
Methodology & Findings

## Dialysis Clinic Inc. (DCI) Utilizes eClinicalWorks as its EHR, with Patient Portal Access Likely Through eClinicalWorks Patient Portal or Healow Dialysis Clinic Inc. (DCI), a prominent non-profit provider of dialysis services, appears to primarily use eClinicalWorks as its electronic health record (EHR) system. This is based on information from 2015 indicating DCI's selection of eClinicalWorks for nine of its physician practices, a move that included the implementation of the eClinicalWorks comprehensive EHR and its accompanying Patient Portal. While DCI's official website, dciinc.org, features a "Patient Resources" section, it does not explicitly name a patient portal for accessing medical records or communicating with healthcare providers; rather, it offers resources on kidney health, financial information, and advance care planning, as well as a separate portal for bill payment. However, a partnership between DCI and JCMG specifically mentions the use of "healow" as their patient portal. Healow is a patient engagement platform developed by eClinicalWorks, suggesting that DCI likely utilizes the eClinicalWorks patient portal, potentially branded as "healow" in some locations or for specific services. eClinicalWorks is a widely used ambulatory healthcare IT solution, and its patient portal is designed to facilitate secure, two-way communication between patients and providers, encouraging preventative care and increased engagement. The selection of eClinicalWorks by DCI in 2015 aimed to streamline processes, improve efficiency and communication, and make critical information accessible at the point of care across participating practices. Therefore, while the DCI website doesn't universally brand a single patient portal, the evidence points towards eClinicalWorks as the underlying EHR system for at least a significant portion of their physician practices, with the associated patient portal likely being the eClinicalWorks Patient Portal, potentially presented to patients under the healow brand in some instances.
