Technology Advanced Ophthalmology Clinic Implements the MD Logic World Wide EMR
After careful review of several top EMR systems available in heath care, Gainesville Eye Associates chose to implement the MD Logic World Wide EMR™.
Jack Chapman, MD, a partner in Gainesville Eye Associates stated "Our clinic has been using MD Logic to document care ‘real-time’ in the exam rooms for the past seven years. Having immediate access to my patient’s clinical records was essential. The MD Logic system has large easy to touch buttons that makes documenting care fast, efficient and accurate. I looked at many of those point-and-click mouse systems and realized there was just no way they could keep pace with our busy clinic. With MD Logic, you simply touch the screen for immediate access to the patient’s medical records."
"When we made the decision to start 2008 as a paperless Ophthalmology clinic, the MD Logic World Wide EMR™ was the wise choice for our clinic. Our clinic offers state of the art, cutting edge technology delivered in a compassionate and caring manner. We have grown to serve the greater Northeast Georgia and Western North Carolina areas. We have established satellite clinics in Cornelia, Clarkesville and Blairsville, Georgia as well as Hayesville, North Carolina."
"With the MD Logic World Wide EMR™, our doctors and staff enjoy real-time access to patient records from everywhere. It is a great feeling knowing when a patient walks out of our exam room, their visit has been documented and their medical record is complete. An added bonus is the ability to automatically fax the referral letter to the referring physician with my diagnosis and treatment plan. This is completed before the patient leaves our clinic."

MD Logic Patient Kiosk Software a Big Time Saver
For the 7th straight year in a row, MD Logic participated in the 2008 annual American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons meeting. Orthopaedic surgeons from across the USA attended the academy show. For three days, Orthopaedic Surgeon’s visited the MD Logic booth and received a hands-on demonstration of the MD Logic World Wide EMR™.
Tim McKenna, Vice President of Sales for MD Logic, said "physicians who stop by our booth and receive a hands-on demonstration all comment on the same thing. They simply can’t believe how fast and efficient our EMR system is for physicians". Each year at the academy show, Orthopaedic Surgeons continue to be amazed when they find out first-hand that their is an EMR desinged to keep pace with a busy practice.
Tim McKenna commented "Many physicians make the decision to invest in MD Logic right at the show. They invest in MD Logic knowing it is the only EMR available to heath care providers that will save time. We are able to show the physician how MD Logic can reduce costs, save time and eliminate dictation. Other EMR vendors continue to push dictation or call their system a "hybrid EMR" when in fact it is an EMR with limitations. "Hybrid EMR" is just a fancy name for ingonoring the fact that one of the biggest headaches and continued expenses will not be solved with that type of system. Eliminating dictation and the ongoing expense of transcription is critical when a doctor automates. MD Logic offers a complete system designed to save both the doctor and staff time."

Premier Foot and Ankle Center Implements MD Logic World Wide EMR making Documenting Patient Care "Real Time" in the Exam Room a Reality
MD Logic is pleased to report the recent success of Sarasota Foot Care Center and their recent transition to a paperless office. The center is staffed by four physicians who are all Diplomats with the American Board of Podiatric Surgery. Each doctor was residency trained with the latest foot and ankle medical and surgical techniques. The doctors are committed to continuing medical education, allowing them to continue to provide their patients with the finest possible specialty service.
Paul G. Yungst, DPM, FACFAS is one of the founding partners at Sarasota Foot Care Center who helped do the research on choosing the best Electronic Medical Records (EMR) solution for their center. When asked about the recent transition to going paperless, Dr. Yungst stated, "We have been using MD Logic to document care real-time in the exam room for many years. When we decided to take the next step and go paperless we wanted a company with a proven solution and what we felt was the most stable software in the industry. After looking at many of the EMR systems on the market, we chose to implement the MD Logic World Wide EMR™. No one could match the speed and ease of use offered by the MD Logic World Wide EMR™."
When asked about the impact of going paperless, Dr. Yungst said "The impact of going paperless has been immediate and omnipresent. The moment a patient walks into the office, they are struck with a sense of organization, which hopefully gives them a feeling of security, a belief that the doctor and his staff truly know what they are doing. The patient is no longer confronted with the view of 150 charts spread out en mass over the front office cabinetry and floor and one or two office personnel frantically rummaging through searching for a missing chart."
"I have calculated that if it takes approximately 20 seconds to find/file a chart and we see approximately 150 patients per day (that's 300 charts that get pulled and re-filed during the course of a day), it takes approximately one hour and 40 minutes spent filing charts. And this doesn't include the extra time it takes going to the file room to track down missing charts or add on patients or filing lab test results, etc. Now it’s simply scan...sort...done!"
"Within the exam room, the ability to view charts and document care as we see patients is critical. I can immediately communicate with my staff by sending electronic memos and check my Inbox with the touch of a button. I can spend more time in patient contact now that I don't have to spend time searching through the chart. Patients continually comment on how the system looks 'state of the art,' and when I show them the output or how I can pull up a previous note or lab results, they are amazed. Patients understand that they are in an office which is on the 'cutting edge' of new technology in medicine."
Gone are these days: "Remember all the valuable time wasted going to the file room, searching for a file that was misplaced and eventually finding it lying under the doctor's desk, only to realize that all the while you were searching for the wrong chart, Larry Cohn instead of Larry Cohen, then having to go back to the file room to retrieve the correct file simply to chart a lab report? With MD Logic, it's as simple as scan...sort...done! Our center is extremely pleased with choosing the MD Logic World Wide EMR™."

Fast Paced ENT Center Implements MD Logic EMR
As an extremely busy Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic it was imperative to implement an EMR that could keep pace with their busy practice. Founder of the center Lynn Hughes, M.D. stated, "Our ENT center was one of the first ENT centers in the country to implement technology in the exam rooms back in 1996. For over 10 years we utilized the MD Logic software allowing my staff to document patient care as I saw patients "real time" in the exam room. Due to our busy center, my partners and I are able to focus 100% of our time with the patient while our medical assistants easily touch-in the patient's health history, exam, diagnosis and treatment plan".
The Northeast Ear, Nose and Throat Center is the premier center in Concord North Carolina providing care for the ear, nose and throat and related structures of the head and neck. Dr Hughes stated, "Automating your documentation is the biggest step for any healthcare provider. MD Logic offers the fastest input device for documenting care "hands down". I attend the National Otolaryngology Academy show each year and see other EMR systems. However these systems all fail to offer what is critical to physicians in automating their clinical documentation in the exam room - Speed."
The Northeast Ear, Nose and Throat Center uses the Misys systems for medical billing. Dr Hughes said "we looked at the Misys EMR before choosing MD Logic and there was simply no comparison. MD Logic was fast, easy to use and is the only EMR designed for a fast paced medical clinic. It would simply not make sense to implement an EMR that would slow us down. The MD Logic World Wide EMR has completely automated our ENT center. I continue to recommend MD Logic to healthcare providers that wants to implement technology guaranteed to save time. The quality of the documentation generated by MD Logic is outstanding. The system generates clinical data as if I were dictating the progress note. Our clinical documentation reflects the high quality of care provided to each patient that visits our center"

Busy Orthopaedic Clinic in NYC Implements MD Logic World Wide EMR
When Orthopaedic Surgeon Steven Zaretsky, M.D transitioned his Orthopaedic clinic to a new location in upper Manhattan it was imperative for his clinic to eliminate paper charts and optimize space. Dr Zaretsky stated, "Space in Manhattan is premium and the thought of continuing to store paper charts was simply not and option. Eliminating the space typically allocated for storing paper charts would save thousands of dollars a year in square footage for my clinic."
The MD Logic World Wide EMR software makes transitioning to a paperless practice the fastest in the industry. Our software is engineered to be the most efficient available to healthcare. Dr. Zaretzky stated, "I had reviewed multiple EMR systems and found MD Logic to be the fastest and most efficient EMR to implement. As a busy Orthopaedic surgeon, time is always a concern. My office was only closed for a day and a half in making the transition to a paperless office. From that day on my office went paperless."

State of the Art Neurosurgical Clinic implements MD Logic World Wide EMR
After careful review of multiple EMR's available in the market, the Michigan Neurosurgery Clinic, PC selected the MD Logic World Wide EMR to take their clinic paperless. Founder of the Michigan Neurosurgery Clinic Dawn Tartaglione, DO stated, "we wanted more than just a paperless office. The idea of streamlining the clinic with automation in the exam rooms was critical. As a Neurosurgeon it is imperative that we document to the highest details for each patient visit. MD Logic was the only EMR solution we found that would allow our Neurosurgical clinic to automate our documentation with such detail. I am proud to say that our clinic is able to document care "real time" in the exam room as the patient is being seen. MD Logic has eliminated the days of having to stay late after hours catching up on dictation."
"Our medical staff is trained to document care and work up the initial patient information prior to any doctor going into the exam room. By having our medical staff work up the reason for the visit along with the patient's past medical history, allergies, current medications, past social history and review of systems I can get view the up to date record before entering the exam room. Once I enter the exam room, I can easily access any part of the patient's medical record with the touch of a button. There is no keyboard or a mouse needed to access the patient's records. Our exam rooms are equipped with flat panel touch screens that provide instant access to the patient's medical records by simply touching the screen. MD Logic has allowed our clinic to transition to a paperless clinic and at the same time automate our clinical record keeping."

Extremely Busy Syracuse New York Neurological Clinic Implements the MD Logic World Wide EMR
When it came time to transition this busy Neurological clinic to a paperless environment, the MD Logic World Wide EMR was chosen as their EMR solution. Founder Robert Todd, M.D., stated "I wanted the ability to automate my clinical record keeping and eliminate paper charts. In Neurology, we deal with a very complex level of medical record keeping. In automating my clinical records, I didn't want my records to sound computer generated. With MD Logic, I have complete control over the information generated by the system."
"My records are extremely detailed and read as if I dictated the records. Having the ability to customize the Neurology knowledge base and control the information generated by MD Logic was important to me. In transitioning to a true paperless clinic it was imperative we automate our clinical documentation. To go paperless and yet keep dictating like many practices do did not make any sense. With MD Logic our clinic has been able to go paperless and automate all our clinical documentation."
"Our clinic was extremely pleased with the dedication and motivation of the MD Logic corporate trainer sent onsite to transition our clinic to a paperless environment. The onsite training far exceeded our expectations. Before training was completed, our clinic was transitioned over to a paperless clinic. I would recommend MD Logic without hesitation to any healthcare provider looking to streamline their entire practice"

Another Record Year of EMR Growth for MD Logic as Company Prepares to Release Virtual Office Workflow Software in 2009
MD Logic, Inc closed out 2008 with another record year in EMR sales. Chief Executive Officer, Thomas J. Bierster, Jr., said, "we are very pleased with our growth in MD Logic World Wide EMR sales throughout 2008. I feel that what MD Logic offers to physicians is unlike any other EMR available to healthcare providers. The MD Logic World Wide EMR is engineered to save time and reduce costs. We are the only EMR that offers speed in the exam rooms."
"While other EMR companies offer little to no solutions to aid in the elimination of dictation, the MD Logic World Wide EMR provides a proven solution to eliminate the high-cost and drudgery associated with dictation. Many companies are labeling their software as a "Hybrid EMR" when in fact their EMR simply has no solution for total automation."
Healthcare providers are looking for solutions designed to save time. Due to failed competitive EMR installations, MD Logic has been implemented as the front-end (in the exam rooms) for clinics where a competitive EMR was implemented and then failed to solve the clinical documentation. In these cases MD Logic generates all the clinical information and then exports the clinical documents over to the repository. MD Logic ends up solving the biggest headache and the most time consuming part of the doctor's day.
Thomas J. Bierster, Jr stated, "doctors are looking for a complete EMR solution that will do more than take the clinic paperless. Automating the clinical record keeping is critical to the long term success of healthcare. When it comes to the speed of the input required to document care, MD Logic is simply unmatched by the competition."
"MD Logic will be taking our software to the next level of total office automation in 2009. From the time the patient checks-in for their appointment through the time spent in the exam room and then to check-out, MD Logic will automate the entire practice workflow. This new software has been engineered to streamline the entire workflow of clinics and is extremely fast. With this new software MD Logic will continue our lead in developing EMR software designed to save healthcare providers time."
