technology deployments,” said Alan Portela, CliniComp chief operating officer. “With an average implementation time of 12 weeks, our inpatient clinical documentation solutions enable healthcare providers to quickly qualify for stimulus funding, allowing them to
maximize the total potential receipt of those deadline-restricted funds.”

As a high-acuity solution provider, we supply flexibility and scalability through our open systems architecture that allows organizations to maximize their existing technology investment and eliminate over-reliance on a single EMR vendor while ensuring interoperability with future HIS systems.”
