Case Study: Gwinnett Dermatology achieves improved efficiency and rapid Meaningful Use attainment with Modernizing Medicine’s Healthcare IT Suite (EMA Dermatology)

Gwinnett Dermatology Improves Efficiency and Attains Meaningful Use with EMA

Gwinnett Dermatology, a seven‑provider, 55‑employee practice with three Georgia locations, spent three years evaluating EMR options to find a system that met priorities for usability, billing integration and Meaningful Use readiness. Concerned about productivity loss and billing disruption, the group needed an EMR that would be easy to implement and support improved patient care without harming cash flow.

The practice selected EMA Dermatology and went live in late 2012, reaching full productivity in two to three weeks with minimal downtime. EMA’s cloud platform, onsite and online training, and scribal workflows saved one to five minutes per patient, left billings and collections unchanged, and helped all five physicians attest to Meaningful Use within three months; new features like EMA Outcomes and Grand Rounds further improved efficiency and care while the implementation strengthened team cohesion.
