Case Study: Advanced Eyecare, PC achieves greater efficiency and reliability with Modernizing Medicine's Healthcare IT Suite

EMAⓇ for ophthalmology allows for increased efficiency and reliability for multi-office practices

Advanced Eyecare, PC, a four-ophthalmologist, two-optometrist practice with multiple offices in Vermont and Massachusetts, struggled with paper charts, slow chart movement between sites, and concerns about the cost, security, and reliability of a traditional EMR. The practice was also facing increasing regulatory pressure and wanted a solution that would be easier for staff to use and better support its multi-office workflow, so it chose Modernizing Medicine’s Healthcare IT Suite, including the ophthalmology EMR EMA®.

Modernizing Medicine’s Healthcare IT Suite implemented EMA® on tablets with a cloud-based setup, helping Advanced Eyecare replace paper charting, streamline documentation, and improve communication across offices. The transition was smooth with strong vendor support, and the practice reported returning to normal patient volumes within about two weeks after go-live, with slower staff fully up to speed in six weeks. Since implementation, the practice has seen more efficient charting, easier access to patient records, and only two partial-day paper back-ups in three years due to internet issues.
