Having attended multiple eClinicalWorks user conferences, one of their big efforts was to move all of their users to the eClinicalWorks cloud.  eClinicalWorks had made a big investment in cloud and they wanted all of their users to benefit from the reliability, scalability, and benefits of being on the cloud. With this in mind, I sat down with V Cantrell, MD, CMO at HealthNet and Abigayle Gomez, EMR Director at HealthNet, at the eClinicalWorks annual conference to learn more about their recent move to the eCW cloud.  They shared with me what went into the decision to move to the cloud and details of the results.
