Case Study: Associates In Orthopaedics, Inc. achieves faster workflows and higher reimbursements with Modernizing Medicine's Healthcare IT Suite (EMA)

Dr. Audley Mackel Discovers a Powerful, Easy-to-Use Tool in the EHR System EMA

Dr. Audley Mackel, an orthopedic surgeon in Cleveland, needed an EHR that understood orthopedic workflows after trying multiple systems that were cumbersome, template-heavy and not specialty-specific. While evaluating vendors at the AAOS meeting, he selected Modernizing Medicine’s EMA for its intuitive, surgeon-developed design and built-in orthopedic knowledge.

After training, EMA was integrated smoothly into his practice via cloud-based iPads, enabling faster, more organized documentation and e-prescribing. The system automated coding and reduced denials, increased reimbursements, boosted efficiency (now seeing 50–60 patients per day), and improved exam thoroughness and patient interaction.
