Business Computer Applications, Inc. (BCA) was recently awarded a contract with Dallas County Hospital District d/b/a Parkland Health and Hospital System, Community Oriented Primary Care and Jail Health division, to upgrade the jail Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system, from Emerald EMR to the state-of-the-art EMR system, PEARL EMR.  The contract calls for BCA to provide application software as well as interfaces, customizations and support services.
