Northern California Medical Associates, Inc., De-installs Two CCHIT EMRs and Selects the SRS High-Performance Hybrid EMR for Its 50 Providers
Successful, No-Cost Pilot Program Unifies Practice after Lack of Success with Point-and-Click EMRs
MONTVALE, NJ – July 14, 2009 – SRS, the leader in high-performance hybrid EMR solutions, today announced that Northern California Medical Associates, Inc. (NCMA) has selected the SRS EMR for its 50 providers. NCMA, based in Santa Rosa, CA, has 21 practice locations and provides comprehensive medical care throughout Northern California.
“After inheriting two CCHIT-certified point-and-click EMRs, we realized that they would be too time-consuming and cumbersome for our diverse multi-specialty practice,” says Ruth Skidmore, CEO of NCMA. “The SRS pilot program gave us the confidence that their hybrid EMR would be embraced throughout our enterprise. The positive feedback from our physicians about SRS has been incredible.”
“It’s great to see that market leaders are acknowledging that CCHIT products cannot meet the needs of high-performance practices,” says Evan Steele, CEO of SRSsoft. “The high cost of lost productivity inherent in point-and-click solutions is simply unacceptable.”
SRS was designed with direct input by its high-performance physicians to provide them with a system that fits their needs, helps them to work more efficiently, and enables them to achieve a rapid return on their investment. SRS, which has built the largest national network of high-performance practices that successfully use an EMR, attributes its unmatched adoption rate to ease of use, fast implementation, and an accelerated timeframe for training physicians and office staff.
“Providing quality treatment to my patients is my number one priority, and SRS allows me to do so with streamlined efficiency,” says Thomas E. Dunlap, M.D. at NCMA. “The opportunity to ‘test drive’ the hybrid EMR with no strings attached eliminated any hesitations we had and showed that SRS has 100% belief in their solution—that confidence is very reassuring.”
