Case Study: South Florida Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine achieves improved clinical access and $8,000/month transcription savings with NextGen Healthcare

Busy Florida orthopaedic practice says NextGen EHR value is “very clear”

South Florida Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine in Stuart, Florida needed to give providers immediate, simultaneous access to patient records and to streamline internal workflows that were bogged down by paper-based processes. The practice sought a solution that would support orthopaedic-specific content, improve communication among staff, and reduce administrative bottlenecks.

They implemented NextGen EPM in 2004 and NextGen EHR in 2006, using staged training and rollouts to ensure smooth adoption. The EHR delivered point-of-care access, tasking/workflow functionality and integration with practice management, resulting in faster, more efficient care, participation in e-prescribing, $8,000/month saved in transcription, a reduction of two FTEs, reclaimed record storage space, and high patient satisfaction.
