Case Study: Dermatology Associates of Napa Valley achieves increased revenues and improved patient care with Modernizing Medicine's Healthcare IT Suite

Dermatology Associates of Napa Valley increases revenues and improves patient care with EMA

Dermatology Associates of Napa Valley is a busy private dermatology practice that wanted to move off paper charts when bringing in a younger partner. The practice needed an easy-to-use, dermatology-specific EMR that would preserve productivity with ~40 patients a day, improve documentation and coding, and help them meet Meaningful Use requirements.

They implemented EMA Dermatology with web-based training and vendor support, adopting a cloud-based, iPad-enabled workflow that streamlined documentation and captured more specific procedure coding. As a result they increased reimbursements, reduced the physician’s office days from 4½ to 3 while raising revenue, successfully attested for Meaningful Use (max $36,000), shortened pathology turnaround to 2–4 days with biopsies available within 24 hours, and reported better patient care and efficiency.
