ELECTRONIC MEDICAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS HELPS SMALL PRACTICES
HANDLE BIG INFORMATION CHALLENGES
Indianapolis,
Indiana (April 16, 2001)- GEMMS today announced it signed
agreements with Consultants in Cardiology and Dr. Gregory
Price to install its electronic clinical information system
in the practices. The GEMMS ECIS system is a cardiology specific
system that integrates a practice’s clinical, fiscal
and management information into one system. Today’s announcement
marks two more installations of ECIS into groups with 10 or
fewer physicians joining the GEMMS network of over 27 practices
since its national sales efforts began in 1999.
Both
Consultants in Cardiology of Farmington, Michigan, which has
7 physicians in 2 locations and sees about 20,000 patients
a year, and Dr. Gregory Price’s 3 man practice in St.
George Utah, needed a system that addressed the unique challenges
facing cardiology practices, of any size, in today’s
healthcare arena.
"We
face the same problems and have the same needs of larger groups,"
said Laura Thuma, Practice Manager of Consultants in Cardiology.
"As a system designed by actual cardiology clinicians
ECIS addresses those problems. And since every installation
is customized to a practice’s specific needs, the GEMMS
solution was a perfect fit for our practice."
"We
have learned, that off-the-shelf solutions are not what physicians
and clinicians, in any size practice, want in an electronic
information system," said Rodger Pinto, PhD., and CEO
of Gateway Electronic Medical Management Systems. "Therefore,
ECIS is designed so that it can be easily tailored for a perfect
fit, every time."
ECIS fully integrates a practice’s clinical, fiscal and
management information into one system. The system is proven
to save time and money and facilitate faster decision-making
and ECIS provides clinicians with greater access to information,
enhancing their ability to deliver patient health care services.
