Dear Patients, Families and Friends,

Please help us in welcoming Elizabeth Walsh, CPNP . Her face may be familiar to you as she trained with Jacky here at CMO.  She  brings exceptional knowledge and experience and is an exciting addition to our Medical Home.

We  are thrilled to announce that CMO will be upgrading our electronic health record to Epic in 2017.

As always we strive to provide your family with the highest quality of care; we appreciate and respect the trust you have placed in us.


Sincerely,
Children's Medical Office

 
Welcome   Elizabeth Walsh, MSN, CPNP
Elizabeth Walsh, MSN, CPNP joined our team in September 2016. Elizabeth graduated Magna Cum Laude from  Boston College in 2011 with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. 

Prior to joining CMO, Elizabeth spent five years working as a Registered Nurse at  Beverly Hospital where she began her nursing career on the pediatric/adult medical-surgical unit. She comes to us with a broad range of nursing experience caring for patients across the lifespan, though her passion has always been in pediatrics.

While working at Beverly Hospital, she continued to pursue her goal of becoming a nurse practitioner. Elizabeth graduated from the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Program at Boston College with her MSN in May 2016, where she received the Clinical Excellence Award in Pediatrics. As part of her PNP education, Elizabeth was fortunate to train under NP Jacky Psoinos during her clinical rotation here at CMO from September 2015 to May 2016. She is a member of The  National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners. 

Elizabeth grew up in Springfield, MA and now lives with her husband and their pet cat, Meowser, on the North Shore.

Our front desk is now booking appointments with Elizabeth.  She is accepting new patients.We hope you all will join us in welcoming her to our practice!  
EpicCMO is Upgrading!
Epic is coming!
Approximately two years ago, CMO along with the Pediatric Physicians' Organization at Children's Hospital (PPOC) set out in search of  the best integrated Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Practice Management System (PMS) for all members of the network.  We are elated to announce that next year at this time, we will be live in the Epic Systems.

What does this mean for our patients?
Once all of the new systems are implemented, our families will have the availability to access their own patient portal. Some of the options within the portal include viewing/printing your own records and statements, updating demographic information and scheduling appointments online!

One temporary change that you should be aware of is that we will only be scheduling well visits for children under three years old in September 2017.  We have added provider hours during the summer months to accommodate all of our patients who normally have their well visits in September.  Please check with your insurance guidelines on well visit coverage and schedule visits for summer vacation 2017!
