Cardiac Diagnostic and Treatment Center in Virginia Selects Web-Based EMR from Benchmark Systems

Cardiology Practice is streamlining with leading edge web-based EHR and Practice Management.

Lynchburg, VA, February 23, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Benchmark Systems, a leading EHR (Electronic Health Record) and PMS (Practice Management System) vendor announced today that Cardiac Diagnostic and Treatment Center has installed Benchmark as the enterprise solution to automate all of its practices’ clinical and business functions. Their cardiology practice will now offer web based patient communication through its website and will eliminate most of the paper storage. Patient Records will be digitally stored utilizing a secure HIPAA compliant encrypted technology that can be accessed by their clinicians from remote locations 24/7.

“Benchmark is committed to delivering the most advanced software and services in the industry. We are extremely excited to be partnering with Dr. Accettola and his staff for years to come. All of Benchmark’s software modules and processes have been designed to streamline a practices clinical and financial success to the highest level. By choosing to deploy Benchmark’s suite of products, Cardiac Diagnostic and Treatment Center has shown its commitment to enhancing their ongoing patient care,” states Ernie Chastain, Vice President Business Development at Benchmark.

When asked why they chose Benchmark, Christy Crodick, RN the office manager at Cardiac Diagnostic said, “We had an EMR system for over 8 years and identified many areas that could stand to be improved. When that system became obsolete (and wouldn't meet ONC-ATCB criteria for certification) I started looking at other systems. Benchmark Clinical was the one system that seemed to address a lot of the problems that we identified. The Benchmark system was easy to learn and we were using it within a few days. The cost was much less than most of the others as well. Support has been great; we have been very pleased with the system and look forward to a long lasting partnership with Benchmark.”
