Case Study: Shasta Orthopedics Group achieves streamlined, specialty-focused efficiency with CompuGroup Medical's CGM APRIMA EHR

Orthopedic Group Strengthens Practice with CGM APRIMA EHR

Shasta Orthopedics, the largest orthopedic and sports medicine practice in Northern California with nine physicians and three physician assistants, had used an EHR for eight years but needed a more adaptable system tailored to specialty workflows. In 2009 they selected CGM APRIMA for its responsiveness and ability to customize features to meet the practice’s specific needs.

CGM APRIMA delivered a customized orthopedic vocabulary, smooth implementation with team training, and flexible documentation options (macros, templates, direct entry, Dragon, scribes). The result was faster, more efficient ordering—including complex surgical equipment—streamlined authorizations, reduced administrative staffing needs, and more clinician time focused on patients.
