Case Study: LifeBridge Health Krieger Eye Institute achieves 108% productivity and enhanced patient interaction with Modernizing Medicine's Healthcare IT Suite (EMA)

Krieger Eye Institute Increases Productivity With Help From the iPad EMR System, EMA®

Krieger Eye Institute, part of LifeBridge Health at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore, needed an EHR that could support multiple clinic locations, residency and fellowship programs, and several ophthalmology subspecialties. After adopting a cumbersome EHR in 2008 that slowed workflows and forced a return to paper, the institute urgently needed a user-friendly, portable system to meet Meaningful Use and ICD‑10 requirements without sacrificing productivity.

They implemented EMA by Modernizing Medicine, a native iPad ophthalmology EHR, going live within three months. EMA’s specialty-specific templates, intuitive touch workflow and built-in coding quickly restored efficiency—productivity reached 108% within one month—while improving patient interaction, prescription speed, ICD‑10 readiness and mobile access via PocketEMA.
