The Atlanta, GA.-based surgery practice, which has been using NCG Medical’s Perfect Care practice management software, chose d-Chart based on the product’s integration with their existing system, its functionality and the practice’s relationship with NCG Medical Systems.

“We at Peachtree pride ourselves on being on the leading edge of innovation and using technology to improve the care of our patients,” said Sherry Rogers, managing administrator for Peachtree. “Using d-Chart, along with Perfect Care practice management system, not only arms us with the best technology for our patients, but also helps our office increase efficiencies and streamlines workflow.”

Peachtree Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgeons have decided to implement d- Chart in a phased approach, eventually rolling out the product to all employees in four different locations.

Sherry Rogers, administrator for Peachtree Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgeons, said the practice had been researching EMR systems since 1997 but decided to move cautiously before selecting a system. “We wanted to see what other companies (software vendors) were doing and what NCG Medical was doing,” Rogers said. “We now realize it’s a priority for NCG Medical to have the best solution on the market.”

NCG Medical Systems’ dedication to EMR and document imaging, plus its standing relationship with the practice, made Peachtree Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgeons’ decision to select d-Chart easier.

“We’re very happy with the service and support that NCG Medical provides -- what goes on after the sale is important to us,” Rogers said. “They stand behind what they tell you.”
