Case Study: Granite Orthopaedics achieves a 40% increase in patient volume with Modernizing Medicine's Healthcare IT Suite (EMA)

Granite Orthopaedics Increases Patient Volume by 40% with the Intuitive EHR System EMA

Granite Orthopaedics, a nine-provider practice in Prescott, Ariz., was struggling with a server-based, template-driven EHR that was neither orthopedic-specific nor intuitive, with high license costs and declining efficiency across two office locations. After evaluating a dozen products, the practice selected Modernizing Medicine’s EMA for its cloud-based, iPad-native design tailored to orthopedic workflow.

With eight web trainings, a two-day in-office course and a follow-up trainer visit, EMA’s intuitive interface and built-in orthopedic content streamlined documentation, automated coding and improved billing accuracy. Within two weeks clinic volume returned to normal and, over time, patient encounters increased by 40%; the practice also successfully attested for Meaningful Use with MUSS support.
