ECS, which met the requirements for Modular Certification, is a complete oncology patient management solution designed to enable healthcare providers to navigate patients on their journey through screening, treatment and into survivorship. ECS includes tools for navigation, survivorship care planning, distress management & patient engagement, including a full featured patient portal.
In addition to the MU certification, the 4.4 release of ECS also includes features designed for enterprise healthcare facilities.
