The Heart Group Selects SRS Hybrid EMR for Its 37 Providers

MONTVALE, NJ--(Marketwire - January 14, 2009) - SRS, the leader in hybrid EMR solutions, today announced that The Heart Group has selected the SRS hybrid EMR for its 37 providers. The Heart Group is a large cardiology group that combines an international reputation for leadership in cardiovascular disease prevention, management, and treatment with a hometown commitment to attentive care and outstanding patient outcomes. The Heart Group is located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

"We passed on the hospital's EMR offering because we were concerned about how non-intuitive and time consuming it would be to use," says Shelvy Frank, Chief Operating Officer of The Heart Group. "We selected the SRS hybrid EMR based on consistent peer recommendations and because we value its forward-thinking construction. We are confident that SRS will not only meet our current needs, but it will also position us to respond to future requirements and opportunities."

"I am delighted that The Heart Group has joined the SRS family," says Evan Steele, Chief Executive Officer of SRS. "The nationwide adoption of EMR technology rests on solutions that enhance large, complex environments without negatively impacting physician and staff productivity. SRS invests heavily in development to ensure that its products are built with the future in mind."

SRS offers scalable solutions that integrate essential technology into fast-paced healthcare environments. SRS solutions deliver measurable workflow efficiencies and a significant return on investment, without subjecting physicians to tedious data entry, laborious training, and lengthy implementation.

"The implementation of SRS is not so much about an electronic database of our patients' records, but about the opportunity to change how we care for our patients," says Neil R. Clark, M.D., Vice President and Treasurer of The Heart Group. "It gives us the tools we need at every level of care, whether in the emergency room at 3:00 a.m. or answering patient inquiries in the office. Two years from now we will wonder how we cared for patients without it."

"When you have a high-volume, diverse cardiology group such as The Heart Group, a flexible, customizable solution is a necessity, and the ability to integrate with various third-party applications is key to continued success and growth," says Michael Deeley, Chief Technology Officer of The Heart Group. "The SRS hybrid EMR is equipped with OpenPath™ technology, which allows for the interconnection of various applications."
