Case Study: Northshore Dermatology Center achieves paperless workflow and saves up to four hours a day with Modernizing Medicine's Healthcare IT Suite

Dr. Tina Venetos Switches From Paper and Saves Up to Four Hours a Day with modmed EMA™ for Dermatology

Dr. Tina Venetos, managing physician at Northshore Dermatology Center in Lake Bluff, IL, faced a time-consuming, paper-based documentation process after 15 years of using paper charts and dictation. With three office locations and an intimidating shift to electronic records, she sought an EHR that would let her access charts remotely, handle ICD-10 smoothly, and reduce the hours spent completing notes each day.

By adopting modmed EMA, a cloud-based, native iPad dermatology EHR, Dr. Venetos moved to real-time documentation, trained gradually, and became fully paperless within weeks. The practice now finishes notes at the point of care (saving 2–4 hours per day and transcription costs), benefits from automated coding and higher collections, accesses patient data across offices and via PocketEMA, and streamlined pathology through integrated modmed Pathology.
