“We needed something we could use as a small company, and still grow with — something that would be around in the future. Even though the iMedica PRM system is very easy to learn, it has a lot of capacity we haven’t tapped yet. I particularly appreciate iMedica’s capacity for customization. This isn’t a cookie-cutter application. iMedica PRM really sets us apart.”

“iMedica’s replication functionality is truly unique …If a network connection is lost, physicians can continue to work in real time on the tablet, initiating and completing charts, regardless of whether the network connection is available. When the network syncs back up, their input is replicated. I have been known to work on charts en route to France or Beaver Creek, Colorado—at 30,000 feet—with the reassurance that all of my information will be saved…”

“I was impressed by iMedica’s performance at the Documentation Challenge. The most difficult thing for most EHRs is to capture the History of Present Illness in a family practice. People never just have one complaint. Their descriptions of their symptoms are very colorful, and I want to capture the flavor of what they’re saying. iMedica PRM has the flexibility to do all that, and do it quickly.”

“Based on how responsive the company is, and the level of support they’re giving, this system will be very powerful. I like the future of where iMedica is going.”

“After installing iMedica PRM, we’ve reduced our expenses by more than $3,000 on chart paper and storage costs alone. We’ve also doubled our co-pay collection, reduced coding errors, increased our reimbursements, and sped up collections.”

“All EHRs have a medication database, usually in a long list. But iMedica knows that if I just diagnosed this patient with acute bronchitis, I’ll be looking for a drug I often use to treat that disease. So those are the ones that come up first. In fact, no matter what I’m looking for, iMedica PRM makes it easy to find—a quick tap takes me wherever I need to go, without clicking through layers of menus or closing and opening a bunch of windows.”

“iMedica actually listens to the people using the program! The people there have always been gracious and helpful, and they’ve implemented many of the suggestions I’ve made about the iMedica PRM.”

“I have had iMedica PRM now for a little more than a year, and I love it. It is designed to flow with the natural order of a patient visit. I do very little writing, very little dictation, and at the end of the day I don't have any charts to complete. I fine-tuned the pre-loaded screens so that most notes are completed by a series of tapping the screen. When the patient leaves the exam room, the note is done, the lab knows what tests to run, the front desk knows what referrals to make, and prescriptions are either sent electronically to the pharmacy or printed out at the front desk.”

“The first time I saw iMedica PRM in use, it was for a demo patient with appendicitis. As we went along, the demonstrator would say, ‘Next, you want to know . . . ‘ and it was exactly what I was thinking! The software could anticipate what I was going to say next, perfectly.”

“iMedica has provided amazing training and support. Someone came out to do initial training, then came back for the go-live, when we implemented everything at once. Then for several months the trainer came back to help us with the end-of-month close. iMedica technical support has even fixed problems with our prescription printer, although it wasn't his problem.”

“I know we're on the right system with iMedica PRM. It's intuitive and adaptable, it integrates clinical and practice management data, and iMedica provides quick technical support. Both now and five years from now, having iMedica PRM will give us a strategic advantage.”

“...Did not have to create complex templates – we don't have time to create or manage.”

“[iMedica PRM] has enabled the practice to cut costs dramatically. We completely eliminated transcription costs as of April 30, 2007. Previously, costs were $130,000 annually. The clinic also was able to reduce courier costs by 50 percent, from $12,000 annually to $6,000 annually.
Immediate billing has made a very positive impact on our cash flow. A major benefit of the EHR is that we are not losing charges due to untimely filing... [We expect] savings of 10 to 15 percent in the first year. Everything is processed within one week, with 70% of charges processed within 24 hours.”

“[iMedica PRM] can be customized according to doctors' individual practice patterns and preferences. The physicians like using the dynamic charting options instead of templates. The EHR also is designed for all levels of computer literacy, from basic to advanced users. The irony is that the least computer-savvy doctors are using most of the EHR's features. The physicians who took the time to learn how to navigate the application have been the most successful. Although Laurie Koch, M.D., a hand surgeon at MOS, was not a willing convert, she is now the first to say that she will never go back to paper records.”

“The iMedica system makes patient visits a lot easier. Clinic visits are faster—from 25 minutes to 10. Adaptive Learning and Intelligent Navigation dramatically reduce the time spent hunting for the right screen. When a symptom isn't on the list I can add it on the fly, in just seconds.”

“One of my colleagues who uses iMedica in her office has an entirely different way of charting than I do; she usually dictates, but I can type while still looking at the patient. I appreciate that iMedica allows us to have different ways of working. . . But it's not only the product. If you don't have good support, it's useless. I looked at this investment carefully in terms of the quality of the product, but the thing that made me take a serious look at iMedica was the quality of the vendor and the support.”
