Case Study: The Center for Bone & Joint Disease achieves 50% faster scheduling and a single shared surgical calendar with Surgimate

One Surgical Calendar Shared Across the Entire Practice

The Center For Bone & Joint Disease (CBJD), a Tampa Bay orthopedic practice with 10 surgeons using Greenway EHR/PM, was hampered by a heavily paper-based surgery scheduling process—calendar books, handwritten forms, and staff moving between four offices made sharing information and coordinating surgeries difficult. CBJD engaged Surgimate to provide a surgery scheduling platform that would integrate with Greenway and replace manual workflows.

Surgimate automated the entire scheduling workflow: surgical forms are auto-generated, a single digital surgical calendar is shared across all locations, insurance authorizations and clearances are tracked electronically, and surgeons access schedules via Surgimate’s HIPAA‑compliant mobile app. The solution improved transparency, enabled staff to cover for one another, and slashed scheduling time by 50%, allowing staff to spend more time with patients.
