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