Case Study: Allen Arthritis achieves streamlined, data-driven patient care with Microsoft SharePoint

Allen Arthritis transforms patient care by migrating healthcare data to the cloud

Allen Arthritis is a small, four-person rheumatology practice in Allen, Texas, led by Dr. John Lavery that sees about 20–25 patients daily. The clinic struggled with unreliable on-premises servers and a paper-based intake survey that required 5–10 minutes of manual processing per patient, creating downtime, workflow delays, and HIPAA exposure risks.

Working with partner US Medical IT, the practice migrated patient data to a cloud EMR and Office 365, implemented tablet surveys with PowerApps, and adopted Power BI for analytics (with OneDrive/SharePoint and Skype for Business supporting operations). The move eliminated outages and paper risk, automated intake and scoring, saved an estimated 2–4 administrative hours per day, enabled Dr. Lavery to see 3–5 additional patients daily, and delivered real-time data insights to inform faster, more personalized care.
