Most providers are struggling financially and operationally to meet the meaningful use criteria today. A lot of provider organizations are likely to ignore the requirements and forego the incentives, thereby risking financial penalties. It is critical to partner with a vendor that cares. We are happy to announce that with the help of our knowledgeable staff, detailed onsite training, and proactive support that this is not the case for our clients.  We have a variety of clients that have already received stimulus money for 2011!  Some of these clients are; Jacksonville Children’s and Multispecialty Clinic who received their 2011 Medicaid stimulus money and Internal Medicine Associates of Raleigh who received their Medicare stimulus money for 2011.

CARY, NC – GMA Healthcare, a leading provider of NextGen healthcare solutions, announces partnerships with two of their newest clients – Internal Medicine Associates of Raleigh and Scotland Medical Center in Laurinburg, North Carolina.

“GMA allowed us to make the transition to EHR without experiencing a significant decrease in patient volume or asking our physicians to change the way they practice medicine. They gave us the personal attention we needed to make the process as smooth as possible,” says Claire Spinks, practice manager for Internal Medicine Associates of Raleigh.

The practice’s now fully implemented EHR system was integrated with their current electronic practice management software and includes a bi-directional lab interface and customized templates tailored to the five physicians’ pre-existing workflow.

Scotland Medical Center, a three physician internal medicine practice located in Laurinburg, NC, chose GMA Healthcare for both EPM and EHR implementation.

“As a consultant who has seen numerous failed EHR implementations, I am thrilled to be working on a PM/EHR implementation with GMA. Their assistance and organization throughout this process have given the staff and the physicians greater confidence throughout this transition. GMA’s attention to detail and staff support exceeds anything I’ve encountered,” says Lindley A. Fleury, practice management consultant with Carolina Physicians Resources who has helped numerous practices select and implement EHR systems, including Scotland Medical Center.
