Information Officer. "Drexel has worked to provide ways to optimize
the Allscripts TouchWorks EHR to deliver exceptional care. We look
forward to continuing to partner with Allscripts to address the
challenges of population health management, to enhance our mission
of academic medicine, and to deliver enhanced care for
patients."

Medicine educates one in every 73 medical students in the nation.
Its graduate students number more than 900, and Drexel is the
academic partner in the education of some 500 medical residents.
Drexel's College of Medicine employs more than 400 clinical and
basic science faculty.
Allscripts TouchWorks EHR is a powerful, multi-specialty
ambulatory solution that offers automated clinical decision support

approximately 800 peer-reviewed Care Guides. It is a highly
customizable solution with an open architecture and efficient
