Our Commitment to Public Health
Patagonia Health’s integrated public health Electronic Health Record (EHR), Practice Management, and Billing solution was designed specifically for Local Health Departments (LHDs). We’re proud to support more LHDs than any other EHR/EMR vendor across the US with our robust software designed to handle end-to-end patient-centered care.
We set out to create a tool to help Health Directors, Clinical Staff, and Practice Administrators alike — so you can focus on the community members you serve. We’re committed to being your foundation for care through our award-winning customer support.
Public Health EHR Features
State and Federal Reporting
Complete all of your requirements for state and federal funding and compliance with EHR reporting features like ad hoc, FPAR 2.0., DAISEY, time and effort tracking, and more. Easily pull clinical, billing, and financial reports for stakeholders, boards of health, or county commissioners.
Management Dashboard & Analytics
Health directors no longer need to spend hours gathering clinical, financial, and population health data. Our integrated Management Dashboard creates reports for you to track productivity and outcome measurement to improve your quality of care.
Interoperability
Master Patient Indexing allows for an automatic, seamless transfer of patient data between your health department and other providers, labs, HIEs, immunization registries, and more. We are also proud partners with Carequality.
Robust Scheduling Features
Our patient scheduling features include appointment reminders, recall messaging, and a view of appointments for a given day with status and status history (like no-shows).
Whole Person Care Delivery
Through tools like patient referral orders, providers can document and track referrals to outside resources like WIC, housing, transportation, and food. This allows you to support whole-person care, address the social determinants of health, and comply with public health 3.0.
Integrated Behavioral Health Tools
To provide integrated care services for your community members in your LHD, add customizable behavioral health forms and assessments, individual and group progress notes, embedded telehealth (individual and group sessions), and behavioral health case management tools.
