Case Study: Hillside Medical Center achieves Meaningful Use and streamlined workflows with Pulse

Hillside Medical Partners with Pulse to Quickly Achieve Meaningful Use

Hillside Medical Office, an independently owned family medicine group in Wichita, KS with eight board‑certified physicians and 40 staff, began searching for a certified integrated EHR and practice management solution in 2009 to improve workflow and profitability, meet Meaningful Use requirements, and support high‑quality patient care. The practice evaluated multiple vendors and needed a flexible, fully integrated system with strong implementation support and ONC certification.

Hillside selected Pulse Systems’ PulsePro PM and Pulse Complete EHR for its flexibility, seamless PM–EHR integration, and customer support. With physician leadership, coordinated training, lab and e-prescribing interfaces, and customized Meaningful Use dashboards, the practice replaced its PM, went live on the new EHR, and successfully attested for Meaningful Use within a year—earning the first incentive payment while improving documentation, messaging, and overall workflow.
