Despite initial resistance to change from the schedulers, the team at OrthoNY now relies on Surgimate for every step of their surgery scheduling process. A consistent workflow is in effect at each of their nine locations, so the status of any surgery can be identified instantly. Patients recommended surgery are immediately entered into the system, and a proactive follow-up processes sets into motion. All data is transferred between departments electronically, and insurance authorizations are closely monitored. As the surgery moves through the workflow, status changes trigger reminders to the staff member who needs to handle the next step. With the help of Surgimate, OrthoNY has been able to double the size of its practice and significantly increase surgical volume.
