When testing various EHR systems, they found most systems only allowed them to pick one chief complaint, which did not accommodate their average patient having 3 complaints. “Aprima allows us to document more than one chief complaint,” says Kristin Jefferies Smith, MS, FNP, BC. In their old system, Smith would have to create 3 different notes, one for each complaint; with Aprima, they can all be documented in the same note.

The support provided by DAS has extended outside the office walls as Dr. Ghandi has taken advantage of the portability of the Aprima system. “I called one time over the holidays because I wanted to check on a patient from home and they helped me set-up service from my house!” recalls Dr. Ghandi. “When I want to check a record on my patients I can check it from my house, that’s a big help.”

“Most journals say the older doctors don’t want to use EHR because it’s too hard for them. It’s a figment of their imagination that it’s too difficult.” After the first week of training, Dr. Mennen was charting half his patients on the computer and dictating the other half. In the second week he was using Aprima for all patients. “I don’t think you’ll find many doctors older than me practicing, and I managed to master it in two weeks,” says Dr. Mennen.

While using the system has helped Dr. Dot with coding, documentation, and sending out information to referring physicians, she likes the billing aspect best. Turn around used to be 35-40 days. Now it’s only a 2-3 week turnaround time to get paid on claims. “We get paid faster … we certainly didn’t expect it to be this fast!” says Dr. Dot.
