March 25, 2009High Ridge Family Practice Improves Financial Performance with Integrated EHR Solution
High Ridge Family Practice, a busy, five-provider group of family practitioners in Stamford, Conn., has been committed to electronic health record (EHR) technology since 1990, when it implemented a rudimentary integrated EHR and practice management system. The practice finally hit the mark in 2004 with the right solution — an advanced integrated EHR, billing, scheduling, and ordering solution from McKesson.
Now, all charges are captured during the patient encounter with efficient electronic documentation. Billing is virtually seamless, and days in accounts receivables are low. With these efficiencies, the practice has grown, adding two physicians, increasing the number of patient visits per physician and improving overall clinical care.
