Cardiology EHR Testimonials

Craig M. Walker, M.D. Cardiovascular Institute of the South (CIS), Houma, LA

“After suffering through three failed attempts to implement traditional EMRs—the most recent being a CCHIT-certified product—we were thrilled to find a solution that was fully embraced throughout our entire enterprise. SRS clearly understands our complex clinical workflows, and their robust EHR easily conformed to the diverse requirements of each of our providers. We could not have found a better partner.”

Tim Logemann, M.D. Cardiovascular Associates of Northern Wisconsin, Wausau, WI

“I am a member of a 12-man 18-provider cardiology group in Wausau, WI. We have been very pleased with our SRS EHR. We were able to implement it with very little practice or patient disruption. We did not have to cut back on our schedules and this allowed full patient access throughout the implementation phase. We have an interface between SRS and Dictaphone that allows our office notes to be placed directly in a patient’s chart in the SRS EHR—no scanning needed. The ease of use resulted in great provider acceptance and adoption. The ease of access has afforded great patient service and safety from any site.”

Jay L. Meizlish, MD Cardiac Specialists, Fairfield, CT

I’m seeing 25% more patients, and I’m 25% less tired because of the efficiencies and advantages of SRS. It has been a remarkable experience. I would not want to go back to the old days.

"SRS is an affordable, easy-to-use solution that works well for our practice and increases physician and staff productivity. The ROI—more than $2.5 million over seven years—speaks for itself."

Heather Giddings Health Information Manager
Cardiovascular Associates of Northern Wisconsin, Wausau, WI

"The SRS EHR has transformed our busy 21-provider cardiology practice. As a business we function at a superior level of efficiency and productivity, and from a medical standpoint, we are so much more effective in our patient care as clinical information is at our fingertips, and our communication is greatly enhanced. We have been using SRS for almost two years, and in that time, we have streamlined many of our daily processes, and as a result have increased efficiency throughout all departments. We reduced costs, and our staff has more time to concentrate on patient-focused activities."

David Konur Chief Executive Officer
Cardiovascular Institute of the South (CIS), Houma, LA

"Selecting SRS offers a solution that will allow our practice to optimize workflow and become more efficient and effective in providing world-class care to our patients. The SRS EHR exceeded our expectations for adoption, performance, and effect on productivity. We continue to be impressed by the highly professional SRS staff, from the expert implementation team through the consistently responsive support department."

Nick Benoit Director of Health Information Management
Cardiovascular Institute of the South, Houma, LA

"The SRS EHR system creates a 100% digital practice, with universal access to all patient information. It also increases quality of care and maximizes efficiency without hindering the way our physicians practice medicine, and it allows our staff to spend more time with their patients. This efficient flow of pertinent information, communication, and collaboration gives CIS the ability to provide world-class patient care...now and in the future."

"The SRS EHR is not a rigid proprietary solution like many of the traditional EMRs we investigated. This EHR solution is easy to use and customizable. Our transition from a paper chart environment to the electronic medical records world with SRS was remarkably smooth.

The SRS government affairs group compressed volumes of onerous information regarding ePrescribing, PQRI, and meaningful use into a format that is easily understood and will prepare us to make better decisions regarding our participation in government incentive programs."

Jea'n Oubre, LPN Senior Health Information Specialist
Cardiovascular Institute of the South, Houma, LA

"We have a large cardiology practice (approximately 40 providers, 550 users and 10 office locations). We purchased a point-and-click EMR, but in a very short amount of time we found it to be a tremendous challenge and our physicians could not treat the same volume of patients. The physicians had essentially become data entry clerks.

In 2008 we replaced our point-and-click system with SRS EHR, which has been very successful in our practice and embraced and adopted by all providers and staff. We implemented SRS throughout our entire organization quickly and easily—it was a very smooth transition. With the new system, we have the full benefits of instant patient chart access, efficiency, and better patient care.

Because of the smooth transition, our employees were much more receptive to the change and our physicians were receptive to viewing patient charts in a 100% digital format.

Overall, the benefits of SRS EHR have proven to be:

1. Physicians do not have to change the manner in which they have practiced for years.
2. The organization does not lose revenue due to a decrease in patient visits.
3. Easy “buy-in” from providers and employees.
4. A more efficient practice that is more attentive to patient needs.
5. Higher quality patient care."

Mark Salsbury Practice Manager
Pediatric Cardiology Associates, Hartford, CT

"SRS delivers numerous benefits to both the staff and patients of our pediatric cardiology practice. Most importantly, our physicians now provide an enhanced level of medical care. They have immediate access to critical clinical information from outside the office at any time and “lost charts” no longer exist. All phone calls are recorded in the patient record so that every practitioner has access to a thorough history of the patient’s care. Faxing from within SRS saves a lot of time and makes transmission of clinical information, instantaneous. There is dramatically less time spent documenting and searching charts for information resulting in more time spent focused on the patient during the exam.

Since all our charts are now in digital format, we converted the old chart room to 3 exam rooms, enabling our physicians to see more patients each day. With SRS, our administrative staff spends far less time preparing paperwork for the next day and they have more time to focus on the patients that are in the office. "

“SRS made it easy to go chartless. Why? It’s the stress-free, low-risk, and high-return solution.”

David Levitt Assistant Executive Administrator
Cardiology Consultants of Westchester, PC, Westchester, NY

"We selected SRS because it was imperative that each member of our team comfortably and expeditiously adapt to an electronic record solution. By adopting SRS, we implemented a solid foundation of functionality that goes beyond providing greater communication and access, while offering the flexibility to accommodate numerous practice styles and workflows."

Arlyne Frane Lab Contact
Cardiovascular Associates of Northern Wisconsin, Wausau, WI

"We looked at several EMRs…too long and complicated an implementation process for us. We chose SRS EHR for its user-friendly, paperless transition that was simple, quick and comfortable."
