JAMESTOWN – Electronic health records have had a positive impact on the care provided to patients of The Resource Center’s primary care office, so the agency took time recently to thank the foundation that provided funding for the computer software.
A reception was held earlier this month at TRC’s Carl Cappa Building on East Second Street in Jamestown to show appreciation to the Ralph C. Sheldon Foundation for its $200,000 grant. The money was used to help purchase and implement Allscripts, a practice management and electronic health record system.
According to Resource Center officials, the agency made a commitment several years ago to offering health care services to the entire community, including people living on the margins who often are ignored in terms of their potential. Sheldon Foundation officials, aware of the important role TRC plays in the area’s
health-care delivery system, “reached out and gave tangible support” to TRC’s initiative to implement an EHR system. Since then, the system has enabled TRC to become more effective in managing patient health, leading to better health results for those who use TRC’s primary care office.
TRC’s primary care office is located at 890 East Second Street. The agency also operates a satellite office in its Michael J. Raymond Center, located at 75 Jones & Gifford Avenue. For more information about TRC’s health services or to schedule an appointment, phone 661-1447.
