Case Study: Empire Eye and Laser Center achieves improved efficiency and streamlined ASC workflows with Modernizing Medicine's Healthcare IT Suite

Empire Surgery Center Implements ModMed® ASC Electronic Reporting and Improves Efficiency in Their Ambulatory Surgical Center for Ophthalmol

Empire Eye and Laser Center, along with its affiliated Empire Surgery Center in Bakersfield, California, needed a more efficient and reliable way to manage growing patient volume and eliminate the risks of paper-based operative reports, nursing notes, and manual charting. The team was already using Modernizing Medicine’s Healthcare IT Suite in the ophthalmology practice, but the ASC still relied on paper workflows that were slowing communication and increasing the chance of errors.

Modernizing Medicine’s Healthcare IT Suite, through modmed ASC and EMA, helped the center move to fully electronic, customized surgery charts and reports tailored to different procedures. The implementation improved workflow, simplified documentation, enabled faster communication and document sharing, and made reporting for quality, compliance, and accreditation easier; staff adoption was strong, documentation time decreased, and the administrator reported that they could retrieve needed information in seconds and would never want to return to paper.
