Gastro Health in Miami, FL Selects gMed’s gGastro for EMR Solution

Gastro Health of Miami, FL, one of the leading Gastroenterology practices in Florida, has selected gMed’s gGastro for their EMR solution.

Miami, FL (November 01, 2010) –

The 32-provider practice will be among the first practices to benefit from the lucrative incentives brought by the HITECH Act.

“Gastro Health evaluated many EMR platforms and decided on gMed for several major reasons, including its vertical stratification within the Gastroenterology specialty, logical way the software is presented, and the versatility of incorporating it into our practice with our ancillary lines of business and practice management partner. A large amount of a gastroenterologist’s time is spent in the Endoscopy Center. The integration of the gGastro endoscopy report writer with the patient chart and the ability to work directly in the patients chart to document a procedure and prepare orders at the Endoscopy center, was a definite advantage when compared to the limitations of other EMR software.” said Eliot Appel, Executive Director of Gastro Health.

“Gastro Health of Miami, FL is one of the most prestigious and progressive groups in the nation and we are very pleased they have selected gMed. We expect this to be one of our most advanced Gastroenterology implementations,” said Joe Rubinsztain, CEO at gMed.
