NOA is a privately owned consulting firm with consultants having certification and expertise on the Epic, Allscripts & QuadraMed-CPR systems. We are committed to a collaborative approach for delivering consultative support on your EHR initiatives by coordinating our efforts with all project personnel. NOA was formed in 1992 by IS professionals with a desire to provide hospital information system and clinical professionals with an alternative to reliance on vendors and consulting firms with general skills for professional and technical support when implementing systems with a clinical or patient care focus. To date, NOA has provided services to over 100 hospitals, and our focus is on installing clinical systems using an approach that stresses both outcomes and knowledge transfer. Supporting so many users, both during and after their installation, gives NOA the opportunity to understand the issues that make clinical systems work, and those that do not.
