Medical Associates of Clinton Iowa Selects InteGreat's EMR

40-Physician Multi-Specialty Group to Benefit From Electronic Patient Records

InteGreat Inc., a leading provider of electronic medical record (EMR) systems with the highest adoption rate in the industry, announces that Iowa-based Medical Associates of Clinton has selected InteGreat's IC-Chart® as its EMR system. According to the seven-year agreement, Medical Associates of Clinton's 40 multi-specialty physicians in four clinics will use IC-Chart to document patient encounters, submit electronic prescriptions and orders, and obtain secure access to patient clinical data through an easy-to-use Web browser interface.

Medical Associates of Clinton plans to deploy IC-Chart on wireless Tablet PCs clinic-wide. Benefiting from the product's modular approach, the practice will have access to electronic capabilities for routine tasks such as transcriptions, orders management, imaging, messaging and writing prescriptions. In addition, IC-Chart's intuitive design requires minimal training time and encourages high levels of physician adoption.

"InteGreat's on-site Process Study at Medical Associates showed that over 60% of our physicians were ready to implement EMR. It also provided us with valuable insight on our workflow, an assessment of our physicians' needs, and the industry's only guaranteed ROI conversion plan," explains John O'Shea, M.D., EMR Committee Chairman at Medical Associates of Clinton. "In addition, we were able to visit an InteGreat client and witness physicians successfully using the system at the point of care. Overall, this complementary -- yet comprehensive -- service gave us the information necessary for our IC-Chart selection and a comfort level to commence implementation."

According to Abraham Chacko, COO of Medical Associates of Clinton, "Our physicians spent two years evaluating leading vendors and found that InteGreat's IC-Chart was the best fit for this practice. The product's proven expertise in interfacing with our IDX practice management system and other ancillary systems made InteGreat's IC-Chart an ideal fit. We were reassured by InteGreat's large multi-specialty clients, who provided rave reviews of InteGreat. InteGreat also provided us with their entire client list as a reference -- which is not always the case with other vendors!"

Welcoming Medical Associates of Clinton to InteGreat, David Koeller, InteGreat's president, states, "Being selected by a group that has put so much time and research into the vendor selection process is a true testament to our product's technology and our company's ability to meet and exceed client expectations. We look forward to working with Medical Associates of Clinton to help them realize their business objectives and meet their ROI goals."
