The Catholic Independent Practice Association of Western New York is poised to automate its medical records and business practices.

CIPA, based in Buffalo, selected electronic medical record and practice management software from Westborough, Mass.-based eClinicalWorks for its network of ambulatory care offices and select community physicians. The organization purchased 150 licenses.

eClinicalWorks will work with the IPA to connect into HEALTHeLINK, the local regional health information organization.
