Case Study: South Palm Orthopedics achieves two hours saved per day and increased revenue with Modernizing Medicine's Healthcare IT Suite

How South Palm Orthopedics Saves Two Hours a Day and Increases Revenue by Using the Orthopedic EHR system, EMA®

South Palm Orthopedics, a Delray Beach, Fla. practice with five fellowship-trained surgeons, a physiatrist and two PAs, struggled for years with a slow, error-prone EHR that relied on transcription, froze frequently and created extra work for staff. After a decade of performance issues the practice sought a more intuitive, specialty-specific solution to streamline documentation, billing and compliance tasks.

They implemented EMA, a touch-based, orthopedic-focused EHR on iPad, with hands-on support from Modernizing Medicine during rollout. The system automated documentation and coding, simplified MIPS tracking, and improved workflow — saving about two hours per provider each day, enabling the team to see more patients and significantly increase revenue per provider.
