After trying other EMR systems, Bone and Joint Associates of Mountain Home Arkansas Choose MD Logic for their EMR
When Bone and Joint Associates of Mountain Home Arkansas decided they were ready to implement an EMR and go paperless they knew they had to find an EMR with speed. As a busy Orthopaedic clinic, it was imperative to implement an EMR system that would not slow us down.
Anthony McBride, MD stated" I have used EMR in (2) other clinics and ended up still dictating due to the inefficiency of those systems. MD Logic is the only EMR system we found that offers speed in the exam room. MD Logic is extremely easy to customize with minimal training. The MD Logic software is designed to be used as a "true" touch screen system with easy to touch buttons."
"We have 19" flat panel touch screen mounted in each of the exam rooms. With the touch of a button I have immediate access to the patient chart and all the patient documents. After one day of initial training, I utilized MD Logic to document 100% of my patient visits for that day with MD Logic. My nurse goes into the room first and touches in the pertinent medical information for the patient. Then I can enter the exam room and review the patient history. I can complete my examination and then easily document clinical findings, diagnosis and treatment plan."
My partner Dr. Moore and his staff were able to document 100% of his patient visits on day one. It simply would not have made sense to implement an EMR if we could not easily eliminate dictation. MD Logic delivered speed where other EMR have failed to perform. We are very pleased with our decision to implement the MD Logic World Wide EMR.

Extremely Busy Orthopaedic Clinic in Florida Implements the MD Logic World Wide EMR with "Ease"
When an extremely busy Orthopaedic clinic decided it was time to automate the clinic their choice for an EMR was simple - MD LOGIC.
Dr. Peter Curcione, an Orthoapedic Surgeon stated, "I am writing you this note to say thank you for selling me the MD Logic World Wide EMR. My office and I have come from the world of paper charts, costly dictating and uncertain coding to digital charts, real time creation of notes in the exam room and proper reimbursement for services rendered. Before we implemented MD Logic the inefficiencies in my practice were becoming a burden. I was encouraged during training, because the staff caught on quickly and I experienced a rather short learning curve. We began scanning the old records of the patients who were scheduled to arrive for appointments the following week. This allowed us to become "Paperless" during our training, and the staff found this process simplified by MD Logic."
"Since implementing the MD Logic World Wide EMR we are experiencing the benefits that were promised to me. My notes are completed every day. No more staying late or coming in on weekends dictating. My staff can find charts without getting up and roaming the office. I can access my patient’s charts from anywhere. I am confident that I am receiving proper reimbursement for services rendered. My referral letters are completed and faxed instantly to the referring physicians. This helps me stay in touch with physicians who are more willing to send additional patients to me, because of my prompt letters."
"It has been one year since we started with MD Logic and I can say that I am very pleased with my decision to choose the MD Logic World Wide EMR as “my” EMR. I had looked at others, but none could match the speed, flexibility, verbiage specific to Orthopedics and ease of use that MD Logic supplied, "Out of the box"."
"I fully recommend the MD Logic World Wide EMR to any physician looking to implement an EMR. I look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship for the future."
Peter Curcione, DO
Orthopaedic Surgeon

Premier Pain Group in Houston Texas Chooses the MD Logic World Wide EMR to Streamline their Busy Clinic
SpineCare Consultants (www.spinecare1.com) is a medical practice dedicated to helping patients with pain that originates in their neck and spine. The healthcare providers at SpineCare will identify the source of the patient’s pain and provide a treatment plan tailored for the specific needs of each patient.
Kathleen Frey, Practice Administrator for SpineCare stated “the practice goal is to identify the exact source of the patient’s pain, which generally involves problems with joints, discs or nerves. Our treatment involves minimally invasive spinal procedures performed on an outpatient basis. Our physicians together have more than 30 years of experience of treating patients with these procedures. Since 2000, we have treated thousands of patients, primarily from Texas and Louisiana.”
“Prior to making the decision to go paperless with MD Logic our clinic implemented flat panel touch screens in the examination rooms in 2005. This allowed our clinic to eliminate cumbersome dictation and use the MD Logic software to document care “real time” in the exam rooms. With the expansion of our clinic and the growing number of paper charts it was time to take the next step and go paperless. We looked at multiple EMR systems including the EMR offered by our billing system “GE Centricity” but found all these EMR systems to be slow and cumbersome. With the MD Logic World Wide EMR™ the transition to paperless was seamless.”
One of the founding Partners of SpineCare Consultants Michael McCann, MD took the lead role back in 2005 when the clinic decided to start documenting care “real time” in the exam rooms using MD Logic.
Dr. McCann has been always been on the cutting edge of medicine and technology. Dr. McCann received his medical training at Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. His Residency and Fellowship training were completed at Baylor College of Medicine. He is board certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology, with a subspecialty certification in Pain Management, and is board certified by the American Board of Pain Medicine. Dr. McCann established the fellowship training program in Pain Management at Baylor College of Medicine, training many physicians around the country in spinal diagnostic and therapeutic techniques.
As an early adopter of technology and an innovator in the field of Pain Management Dr. McCann was asked about the clinics decision to take the next step and go paperless. Dr. McCann stated “I have found the MD Logic World Wide EMR™ is simple enough for ancillary personnel to document information both efficiently & accurately. Adopting this technology in the exam rooms enables our physicians and staff to focus 100% of our time providing patient care. Gone are the days of having to search for documents in paper charts. The providers in our clinic now have 24/7 access to medical records to aid the physicians in diagnosing and treating our patients.”
Kathleen Frey also stated that “Our physicians and looking forward to implementing the MD Logic Patient Kiosk software to further streamline and capture our patient’s medical information. I would recommend the MD Logic World Wide EMR™ to any busy practice looking to streamline their clinic. It is imperative to implement technology that will not slow the doctors down and provide immediate access to the entire patients medical record.”
