Case Study: Southeast Dermatology achieves streamlined pathology workflow and time savings with Modernizing Medicine's Healthcare IT Suite

Southeast Dermatology Streamlines Their Pathology Process and Saves Time With the Dermatology EHR and Pathology Module

Southeast Dermatology, an eight‑physician practice in Pasadena, Texas, faced a slow, error‑prone pathology workflow after adding an in‑house dermatopathologist. Their previous system required manually transcribing pathology requisitions into EMA Dermatology and the practice management system, creating duplicate work, billing headaches and increased risk of mistakes.

By implementing modmed Pathology fully integrated with EMA Dermatology, the practice automated data entry, enabled a charge bridge to the practice management system, and gained secure intramail communication and customizable templates. The change made gross descriptions nearly four times faster, eliminated duplicate entry and many billing errors, provided instant access to reports and ICD‑10/CPT coding, and streamlined workflows across locations.
