DR. PAUL SCHWARTZ<br>SHASTA ORTHOPAEDICS

I absolutely love doing my operation reports and hospital consultations in CGM APRIMA. This solution kills three birds with one stone: I’m able to complete my hospital work directly in CGM APRIMA for my records and have it go to both the hospital and immediately to my billing department. It’s a fabulous time-saver.

Easy quality reporting

CGM includes a real-time MIPS dashboard so practices can track their progress on the fly. Our MIPS dashboard provides drill-down capability into individual chart notes for total clarity into your numerators and denominators.

Standard and included reporting capability provides what practices need to successfully attest to their MIPS or APM participation.

Ultimate interoperability

We give orthopaedists the suite of EHR interoperability tools they need to connect with patients, patient data, and more in the way that works best for them. Orthopaedists can connect with point to point interface, integration with a Health Information Exchange (HIE), direct messaging, or by participating in our national network partners’ programs such as Surescripts and CommonWell.

Healthcare organizations are working hard to move from paper-based, manual processes to streamlined digital workflows to handle faxes. Our users can centralize all fax workflows into a single solution, integrated into our EHR for optimal efficiency and interoperability. Inbound fax workflows can be routed, processed and filed to the patient chart. Outbound faxes can be sent directly from the EHR.
