eHana Profile: Moving Behavioral Health Agencies from Paper to Pixel Records

eHana has been featured in a profile by Xconomy blogger Ryan McBride in a post entitled "From Honolulu to Back Bay: eHana Moving Behavioral Health Agencies from Paper to Pixel Records":

Boston is a great place for bumping into people who are pushing the envelope in healthcare. In fact, the city’s leadership in health IT factored into Jacob Buckley-Fortin’s decision to expand his software firm eHana from its original home of Honolulu, HI, to Boston in 2006. Now Buckley-Fortin, the co-founder and CEO of eHana, is one of those people who you’ll bump into here in the Hub.

I met Buckley-Fortin at our Xconomy Xchange event in Boston in late September, after we had just watched a debate of sorts between Athenahealth CEO Jonathan Bush and eClinicalWorks CEO Girish Navani about the evolution of electronic health records. Buckley-Fortin, 31, knows a lot about this topic because his firm provides EHRs to human services and behavioral health providers—albeit at a smaller scale than what Watertown, MA-based Athena (NASDAQ:ATHN) and Westborough, MA-based eClinicalWorks do for hospitals and doctors’ practices.
