Case Study: Illinois Valley Community Hospital achieves streamlined orthopedic workflow and increased efficiency with Modernizing Medicine's Healthcare IT Suite (EMA)

IVCH Medical Group Streamlines Workflow with the Intuitive, Orthopedic-specific EHR System EMA

Illinois Valley Community Hospital (IVCH) Medical Group’s five-provider orthopedics department in Peru, Illinois faced inefficiencies from a general EHR that required heavy template customization and was underused by clinicians, slowing workflow and patient throughput.

IVCH implemented Modernizing Medicine’s EMA, an orthopedic-specific, iPad-friendly EHR with built-in diagnoses and minimal setup. After a brief training period and phased go‑live, the practice streamlined workflow, added scribes, increased patient volume while maintaining pace, enabled fast HPI entry and same‑day chart closure with automated billing, and continues to benefit from ongoing product improvements.
