St. Francis Health Services has chosen Optimus EMR Inc. as its electronic health record vendor.

The company’s full EHR system will go into St. Francis’ 16 skilled nursing and assisted living facilities in Minnesota.

Optimus “committed to working closely with us to develop an implementation and training plan that would address our needs and interests for resident satisfaction as we make the transition in all of our facilities,” noted Carol Raw, Vice President of Senior Services for St. Francis Health Services.

The systems are expected to be functioning less than seven months after implementation, according to Optimus CEO Robert Davis.
