Princeton Orthopaedic Associates Abandons Paper Charts and Selects the SRS Software Digital Chart Solution

High volume orthopaedic practice realizes efficiencies and cost savings

MONTVALE, NJ / PRINCETON, NJ – November 7, 2006  When Princeton Orthopaedic Associates evaluated their options for eliminating paper charts, the practice chose SRS Chart Manager™ based upon its simplicity, reliability and ease of use.  SRS Software, Inc., the nation’s leading provider of clinical document management and workflow solutions in the healthcare industry, enables medical practices to go paperless and enhance productivity, reduce overhead and improve the quality of life for physicians.

Rob Simpson, Director of Princeton Orthopaedic Associates in Princeton, NJ, says they met SRS leadership at the 2005 BONES meeting and began their assessment process.  “We received recommendations from many orthopaedic practices, which touted its ease of implementation, minimal training and simple navigation,” says Simpson.

Princeton Orthopaedic Associates operates four separate facilities spread over central New Jersey, with 17 physicians and 120 staff members who oversee the care of 400 patients daily and maintain charts for more than 175,000 patients in their system.

“Access to charts anytime and from any location was a primary concern,” says Simpson, pointing out that it took only 55 days from the first introductory meeting until all doctors were live on the system and paperless.  As a result of implementation, the practice has eliminated 4 staff positions and is converting file rooms into active patient exam space. 

Rodger Cooke, IT consultant to the practice, recounts effortless implementation, saying, “Data is extremely well-organized, allowing physicians to be fully informed about the patient prior to even starting the exam.  We regard SRS as a true partner that is positioned to grow with us, and we get attention from senior management who are extremely receptive and responsive to our requests.”

Evan Steele, CEO of SRS Software, Inc., never tires of hearing directly from clients.  “SRS Software frees up valuable time and resources, allowing physicians to maintain the way they document patient visits and enjoy ubiquitous access to patient charts.  These two features, alone, improve the quality of life for physicians and generate acclaim.  Of course, every customer appreciates the affordable price tag of the SRS solution and the savings it generates.”
