Case Study: Capital Digestive Care achieves improved practice performance and over $320,000 in savings with gGastro® Suite by Modernizing Medicine® Gastroenterology

Capital Digestive Care Seamlessly Transitions to gGastro® Cloud, Increasing Practice Performance and Saving over $320,000

Capital Digestive Care, a Washington, D.C.–area GI practice with 60 physicians, 14 mid‑levels and 28 locations (including endoscopy centers, a call center and a pathology lab), faced recurring performance and scalability problems with its seven‑year‑old, server‑based gGastro EHR. Leadership was concerned about the impact on patient care and the high cost of replacing aging hardware, plus slow resolution of issues due to multiple vendors and fragmented support.

They migrated to gGastro Cloud with close planning and dedicated gMed technical support, coordinating external interfaces so the cutover required only about 24 hours of downtime. The move eliminated large hardware/software upgrade costs (saving over $200,000 in year one and more than $120,000 annually thereafter), improved performance and uptime, sped problem resolution, freed IT resources for higher‑value work, enabled remote clinician access without VPN, and increased overall satisfaction.
