MONTVALE, NJ, Jul 07 (MARKET WIRE) --
SRS, the leader in high-performance hybrid EMR solutions, announced today
that Southeastern Orthopedic Center has selected the SRS hybrid EMR for
its 35 providers after abandoning its recently purchased CCHIT-certified
electronic medical record (EMR) solution. Southeastern Orthopedic Center
and Tattnall Hospital Company, LLC, located in Southeast Georgia, operate
15 physician offices, a hospital, ambulatory surgery center, and physical
therapy and imaging services throughout the state.
"We purchased a CCHIT-certified EMR and subsequently considered ourselves
well-positioned to secure the $44,000 EHR incentives available to
physicians under the Economic Stimulus legislation," says Michael
Kleinpeter, CEO of Southeastern Orthopedic Center and Tattnall Hospital.
"However, before we even installed the EMR, we regretted our decision --
we realized that our physicians wouldn't be able to use the EMR and that
we would not earn the potential incentives."
"Many physicians find CCHIT-certified, point-and-click EMRs unusable,"
says Evan Steele, CEO of SRSsoft. "The SRS hybrid EMR allows them to
collect the discrete data they need, but without subjecting them to a
labyrinth of productivity-sapping templates. We are pleased to have
Southeastern Orthopedic Center and Tattnall Hospital join our national
network of high-performance practices."
SRS was designed with direct input by its high-performance physicians.
Giving physicians a system that fits their needs helps them to work more
efficiently and 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.
"The CCHIT EMR we had purchased would have placed overwhelming demands on
our physicians and resulted in a significant loss of productivity, even if
we had overcome the initial implementation hurdles," says Chris Nicholson,
M.D. of Southeastern Orthopedic Center. "The hybrid EMR will be easily
adopted by all of our providers because it accommodates each of our
individual practice styles, and I am confident that it will deliver
workflow and patient-care advantages that far surpass whatever we might
have received from the government."
