Physicians at Midwest Orthopaedics Successfully Attest to Meaningful Use with the SRS EHR

Earned $72,000 in Medicare EHR Incentives While Increasing Productivity

MONTVALE, NJ – January 10, 2012 – SRS, the leader in productivity-enhancing EHR technology and services for high-performance physicians, today announced that all of the physicians at Midwest Orthopaedics, P.A., have successfully attested to meaningful use with the government-certified SRS EHR. Midwest Orthopaedics is located in Shawnee Mission, Kansas, and provides exceptional patient care to the greater Kansas City area.

"Our physicians have been achieving productivity and efficiency benefits with SRS since the day we adopted the EHR in 2009. This is in stark contrast to what I routinely hear from colleagues who are slowed down by their EHRs," says Burrel Gaddy, Jr., M.D., Midwest Orthopaedics. "Once again, SRS has lived up to its promises, providing us the tools to meet the meaningful use requirements without compromising the productivity gains we have been achieving."

"SRS provided the support and educational resources that helped us to overcome our initial trepidation and address the complexities of the EHR Incentives Program with confidence," says Barbara Sack, Executive Director, Midwest Orthopaedics. "With the knowledge I gained at the SRS ‘Meaningful Use University,’ the support of the always-available and knowledgeable SRS Government Affairs department, and the benefit of an EHR that our physicians value, our success with meaningful use was virtually assured."

"Physicians face a growing set of financial and regulatory challenges that make it difficult to practice the way they were trained, meet the government’s requirements, and remain profitable," says Evan Steele, CEO of SRSsoft. "The level of success that Midwest Orthopaedics has experienced with the SRS EHR in general, and now with meaningful use in particular, is validation of our effectiveness in providing technology and services that help physicians deliver quality care while improving their productivity."
