Problem

IMS, an ever-expanding gastroenterology practice, realized its current paper-based PM system was too expensive and lacked the necessary advanced functionality, resulting in a continued use of paper. IMS looked to switch and implement a comprehensive EHR solution that was affordable and would replace the need for transcription.

Additional objectives for the EMR/PM system were:

  • Reduce paper
  • Increase control over patient files
  • Improve patient tracking
  • Manage labs, prescriptions and notes more efficiently

Solution

eClinicalWorks’ comprehensive EHR solution, with unified practice management, met the needs of IMS. It provides the functionality needed to eliminate transcription and streamline front-office and back-office workflows.

  • Comprehensive system (scheduling, billing, and the internal medical record)
  • Affordability
  • Recommended by physicians, locally and nationally

After installing eClinicalWorks in a rapid adoption, Internal Medicine Specialists:

  • Handles scheduling more easily
  • Has smoother billing
  • Eliminated the need for paper and transcription services
  • Saved more than $100,000 in a year
