Join a nationwide network with eCR Now
“Our implementation of eCR improved the quality and timeliness of public health reporting for COVID-19 across the 19 states we serve. This national gateway was a cost-effective solution that helped close critical data gaps in widescale reporting that saved front line providers valuable time and money.”
– Paul Matthews,
Chief Technology Officer, OCHIN, Portland, Oregon
