Clients > Case Study: Weight Loss & Wellness Clinic Case Study: Bariatric Electronic Medical Record and Patient IVR Reminder System Client: Weight Loss & Wellness Clinic - www.LetsGetThin.com
As a team of bariatric professionals under the leadership of Dr. Michael P. Girouard, the Weight Loss & Wellness Clinic has conducted extensive research of a number of different diets, diet pills and weight loss programs. Their goal is to find sensible and sustainable ways for overweight patients to lose weight, and to maintain a healthy weight on a long-term basis.
 Problem / Opportunity
Over the past 5 years Dr. Girouard has become increasingly well known for the success of his weight loss program. With plans to open additional clinics, the problem was scheduling all of the patients in addition to handling the volume from in the “back office” of the operation. Dr. Girouard also wanted to electronically save patient visit information and documents. Over time management at the clinic determined there were no “off-the-shelf” software products that could handle multiple clinics and provide the functionality needed by a high-volume bariatric clinic. No one package had features for: patient scheduling, electronic medical records, medication dispensing, medication inventory management, product inventory management, patient queuing, automated appointment reminder phone calls, checkout services, and multiple provider management.
Solution / System
INSite Business Solutions was hired to develop a robust Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Patient Scheduling system specific to Dr. Girouard’s bariatric practice and process. All of the Weight Loss and Wellness Clinics attend to a high volume of patients and the EMR had to be able to handle multiple clinics each with multiple bariatric providers. In addition the EMR provides import work flow and automation for the clinics. The EMR tells providers and employees where patients are in the office flow as well as where they should be head next.
Features in the Weight Loss and Wellness Clinic’s EMR include:
- Multi-clinic and multi-provider capable
- Patient Scheduling
- Patient Electronic Medical Record Management
- Patient Document Management
- Patient Queuing
- Medication Dispensing
- Patient Checkout & Billing
- Medication Inventory Management
- Product Inventory Management
- Automated Phone Call Appointment Reminders – Using Plum IVR we enable an appointment reminder phone call to patients.
Technology
The Weight Loss and Wellness Clinic EMR was built using the following technology:
- Microsoft ASP.Net 2005
- Microsoft SQL Server 2005
- 3rd Party Controls: Telerik RAD suite, Peter’s Date Picker, ParaChat, ComponentArt Suite, ChartDirector, Excel Export tool, Plum Voice IVR
