The Solution
In response to these challenges, Bend Surgery Center transitioned to HST’s electronic charting as their EMR solution. This decision was driven by several factors including positive past experiences with HST’s surgery center management and notably, HST’s exceptional customer service. The transition began in 2021 amidst the pandemic, which necessitated remote training and careful implementation. The management and staff, despite initial hesitations, recognized that moving to an electronic system was crucial for efficiency and ultimately were excited to make the change.
We wanted to get away from the paperwork shuffle on the front-end and back-end. We knew we were going to be doubling in size, and we did not want to double our paperwork or workload. The team was eager to change to a new solution.
