Case Study: Ricardo Ortega MD LLC achieves a 99% paperless, fully mobile solo geriatric practice with Updox by EverHealth

Innovative Solutions Help Solo Practice Physicians Remain Independent

Ricardo Ortega, MD is a fully mobile, solo geriatric home‑care physician in Albuquerque who left clinic practice to run a one‑person practice without staff or a separate office. To replace impractical paper charts and avoid a steep‑learning EHR, Dr. Ortega chose Amazing Charts paired with Updox for integrated faxing and a patient portal to enable secure, mobile charting and communications.

Updox enabled filing directly into the patient chart, secure message and fax retention, photo attachments and easy forwarding of communications, letting Dr. Ortega work from home, in patients’ homes or on the road. As a result he is about 99% paperless, eliminated costs for paper/toner/fax machines, gained a secure “paperless paper trail,” and says Updox’s ease of use and support make his micro practice viable and efficient.
