''We're saving 8 hours of paperwork per patient''

The Challenge

Replace the existing Electronic Medical Record System with a new custom web app that streamlines operations and centralizes data access.   The existing infrastructure consisted of an Excel spreadsheet to perform some common calculations/functions on patient test data.  Otherwise, paper and pencil was the answer.

Top Objective

Develop a custom database system consisting of many time saving tasks, as well as a custom FCE charting module (Functional Capacity Evaluation) that enabled the company's therapists to collect and enter patient test data on the fly and perform many complex calculations automatically.    

Other Objectives

• Data centralization for easy access
• Reduction of paper usage throughout the clinic
• Streamline the entire patient process and focus on time savings from patient intake to final reporting

Results as reported by client Jennifer Dunn of ReMed

• Faster and easier retrieval of patient charts as files are no longer misplaced or lost
• No longer necessary to flip a chart to find a report
• Fast report creation makes it possible to intake more patients and keep prices low
• Entire team can view a chart at one time
• Therapist can work from multiple locations
• Increased confidentiality  

The Numbers Tell All

• Use of common office supplies, such as ink cartridges and paper, cut by up to 75%
• Faster report creation - brief reports take 20 minutes less and comprehensive reports can be completed up to 8 hours faster than in the past
• A single click of the mouse is all it takes to produce an accurate, up-to-the-minute report that once took many, many hours to manually complete.

Building on Success

We thank ReMed for giving us this opportunity to build a web app that solved their data management problems and look forward to helping ReMed achieve even more success in the years to come.
