OrthoPad changed our lives. In a matter of minutes, we went from paper charts to a paperless system. Were there problems? Yes! Was it worth it? Absolutely! Our clinic and surgery center both utilize OrthoPad. From day one, each has become more efficient. With this increased efficiency, the doctors can see more patients.
Our physicians love the fact that they can access a patient record, including images, from any computer connected to the internet. In the clinic, our physicians and staff have instant access to records. No more waiting for medical records to pull the chart. Our Administrator confirms that we save a significant amount of money on paper costs, we capture our charges and we were able, through attrition, to reduce FTE’s.
We have even customized OrthoPad for use in our surgery center. The nurses like the easy to use froms and they save time charting with the custom built drop down menus. Our ASC record will soon compare with other EMR products made exclusively for surgery centers.
As a bonus, the research and development team at Stryker has been very responsive to our individual needs. They have helped us integrate Orthopad with our practice management software to make our system more efficient and user friendly. The support team is easy to work with and responds quickly to our questions and problems.
So, after many hours of planning, thinking, rethinking, bleeding ulcers, and tablets thrown into trash cans, would we go back to paper? Absolutely not!
