Advanced Pain Management Selects the SRS Hybrid EMR for Its 7 Providers Across Multiple Office Locations

Unparalleled, Enthusiastic Recommendations Are Validated Within First Days of Implementation


MONTVALE, NJ--(Marketwire - October 27, 2010) -  SRS, the leading provider of productivity-enhancing technology and services for high-performance specialty practices, today announced that Advanced Pain Management has selected the SRS Hybrid EMR for its high-volume practice. Advanced Pain Management is headquartered in Annapolis, MD, with additional office locations throughout central and southern Maryland, and the eastern shore of Maryland.

"For over two years, we performed our due diligence and conducted site visits to find the EMR that would fulfill our practice needs," says Dr. Paul W. Davies, managing partner & President, Advanced Pain Management. "The resulting reluctance to proceed was based on the reports of drastic productivity loss from virtually every physician we spoke with, even those at vendor-selected sites. The physicians also noted that using their EMR systems required so much attention that they could not give patients the time they needed. Even when vendor representatives were present, we were hard-pressed to find any physicians willing to make positive comments about the usability of their EMR. Our SRS site visit was dramatically different -- it was the first time that we saw providers genuinely excited to share their experience. Physicians of all ages and levels of technological proficiency were uniformly delighted with the SRS Hybrid EMR, and the entire office staff was highly enthusiastic -- they made these comments even when no one from SRS was present! Physicians reported no downtime during implementation and training, and no loss in productivity. Our own implementation went flawlessly and we are already enjoying the clinical and business benefits that we were anticipating."

"Our hospital was offering its EMR product to practices whose members were on the medical staff, but we knew it would not meet our needs," says Bill Hughes, Chief Operating Officer, Advanced Pain Management. "We know that we made the right choice -- if we had any doubt at all, attending our first SRS User Summit has erased it completely. I have never seen so many satisfied and happy customers at any company-sponsored event."

"We are seeing firsthand how, in an era of declining reimbursements and increased costs, physicians are using SRS to efficiently and cost-effectively manage their practices," says Evan Steele, CEO of SRSsoft. "Advanced Pain Management adopted the SRS Hybrid EMR because they value both the clinical and business improvements for which SRS is recognized."
