Case Study: Illini Medical Associates slashes operating costs and earns $425,000 in incentives with Greenway Health's Intergy EHR suite

Illini Medical Associates Cuts Operating Costs with Intergy Suite

Illini Medical Associates is a rapidly expanding multispecialty practice based in Jerseyville, IL, with 30 providers across 10 sites (including six rural clinics) serving nearly 100,000 patients annually. Facing overflowing paper charts, lost office space and fragmented processes across counties, IMA needed an all‑in‑one EHR and practice management solution to streamline operations, improve finances and eliminate physical record storage.

IMA implemented Greenway Health’s Intergy EHR suite (including practice management and the patient portal), giving staff electronic access to archived and real‑time records. The practice eliminated paper files, saved three administrative FTEs, cut paper form costs by $15,000/year, reduced transcription fees from $75,000 to $3,000 (96%), eradicated overtime at all locations (100%), and attested for Meaningful Use to receive $425,000 in incentive payments; the portal also reduced mailed paperwork and increased patient engagement.
