Case Study: Arkansas Heart Hospital achieves 22% increase in patient volume and enhanced cardiac care with eClinicalWorks

Committed to Enhancing Cardiovascular Health of Arkansas

Arkansas Heart Hospital, a 100‑bed specialty cardiac center with 33 outreach clinics across Arkansas, needed a reliable healthcare IT partner after an unsatisfactory experience with its prior EHR. The hospital required an intuitive, affordable system that could handle complex cardiovascular records, integrate labs and imaging, and support its values of innovation, accountability and high‑quality care.

They implemented eClinicalWorks with free data conversion, on‑site training, custom cardiovascular worksheets and mobile/messaging tools, enabling seamless lab and echo integration, easier documentation, and patient portal workflows. Within two years clinic volume rose 22%, clinician efficiency improved (reducing reliance on scribes), and the hospital gained the analytics and tools to support top‑quality cardiac care.
