Case Studies
ProSports Imaging Sports
Professional Success
Transferring patient information between its office, radiologists,
and referral physicians is an essential component of ProSports
Imaging’s daily operations. The company’s old system
inefficiently relied upon undependable fax machines, the physical
transport of documents between offices, or the treating physician
getting himself/herself to the necessary office. Integrating the
Pyron MRI Report improved ProSports Imaging system by allowing
the company to quickly and safely transfer patient reports via
email, saving a plethora of company resources. Now anyone within
the network can access ProSports Imaging’s MRI reports,
allowing the company to solely focus on patient care.
Two Orthopedic Clinics
Take Their Practice to the Web
Patients are increasingly turning to the Internet to retrieve
healthcare information. In fact, over 111 million adults have
searched for healthcare information on the web. By integrating
a professional medical website in their practices and embedding
eOrthopod in those websites, Northern Rockies Orthopedic in Missoula,
Montana and Orthopedic Specialists of Gastonia, North Carolina
simultaneously fulfilled their patients’ educational needs
and streamlined the doctor/patient relationship. Now, patients
can easily find the answers to their healthcare questions at their
own convenience. Forms and insurance information can be filled
out online, saving both the clinic and patients valuable time.
The conclusion: Pyron Technologies professional medical websites
benefit patients through education and help clinics become more
efficient.
Chart hunting season is
over
Horizon Orthopedic was wasting valuable resources. Communicating
and transferring information between its five offices through
independent phone systems, modem lines, and fax machines was expensive
and inefficient. Relying on patients or treating physicians to
physically transport MRI and X-ray films between offices was also
a concern for the company. Horizon Orthopedic solved these problems
by implementing a network infrastructure. Now, interoffice communication
has never been easier, with voice, diagnostic images, reports
and files, memos, and correspondence being transferred over one
single connection. MRI images and reports can also be retrieved
from anywhere within the network. Overall, implementing a network
infrastructure was a strategic and cost-effective solution for
Horizon Orthopedic.
Pyron Medical IT Services
helps Cleveland orthopedic practice utilize Fortis to meet HIPAA
compliancy and sees over $150,000 in savings
Federal healthcare regulations including HIPAA, Medicare and
Stark II have set the stage for making electronic medical records
a primary goal for the health care industry. In an effort to comply
with these regulations, increase its presence in its regional
healthcare market, and improve efficiencies, Horizon Orthopedic
partnered with Pyron Medical IT Services to design and implement
a new system. The company chose to implement Westbrook Technologies’
Fortis. Now, with the flexibility of the software, the anticipated
improvements in responsiveness to patients and outside physicians,
turnaround time, and access to chart, medical, and patient information,
Horizon Orthopedic is expected to save over $150,000 in costs
over the next two years.
