Dr. Buse practices internal medicine in Dumas, Texas.
The staff of the Buse Family Practice Clinic consists
of a nurse practitioner, two nurses, an office manager
and a receptionist.
Dr. Buse and his staff use two HP Tablet
PC’s and 5 workstations networked with a Windows 2003
server. He characterizes his computer skills as “medium”
and was assisted by his hospital with the setup of his
network. Dr. Buse uses an 8 bay ‘multicharger’ to keep
his two Tablet PC’s supplied with fresh batteries. Dr.
Buse is a strong proponent of Spring Charts, having sent
us two new SpringChart users.
"It’s easy and user friendly, and
the flow is practical…clearly designed by a practitioner.
And, customer service
is excellent. "
“The things I
like best about SpringCharts are it’s easy and user friendly,
and the flow is practical…clearly designed by a practitioner.
And, customer service is excellent. It makes a big difference
to be able to talk with someone.
"I am now
able to see six or more additional patients a
day with significantly fewer hours in the office.
And specialists to whom I send referrals tell me the
quality of my charts is exceptional."
“My favorite features are the patient
overview screen and instant messaging. I also like the
ability to easily integrate graphics and pictures, especially
the pictures I take of wounds, lesions and rashes. And,
user-defined folders allow me to file my patient transactions
in an orderly and meaningful way.
“The messaging system lets everyone in
the office communicate instantly and effectively, minimizing
interruptions. It is a favorite feature of my office manager.
And, I have found a “PAGE ME” instant message sent to
my receptionist to be a very effective method for ending
an endless office visit.
“Getting started with SpringCharts was
easy. I purchased it on a Friday, and charted 20 patients
on the following Monday. I now have over 2000 patients
in my SpringCharts system. My rapid start with SpringCharts
was aided my practice with the SpringCharts Test Drive,
and by the fact that I have previous experience with an
EMR.
“I have not done a return on investment
analysis, but the payback of SpringCharts is significant
in three key areas: documentation speed, documentation
quality, and increased patient visits. I now walk out
of a very busy office between 5:00 and 6:00 with all of
my charting done. Specialists to whom I send referrals
tell me the quality of my charts is exceptional. And,
after a period of about 6 weeks where I was adjusting
and getting used to the system, I am now able to see six
or more additional patients a day with significantly fewer
hours in the office.
“The speed and quality of my charts arise
largely from the use of the Template and PopUp text functions
in SpringCharts. They are very easy to set up to meet
my particular needs and style.
"SpringCharts has made me a more
effective and efficient physician. I recommend SpringCharts
to all of my friends." |
