The Best Orthopedic
EHR Software Made for Surgery Centers
With HST’s ASC Software, orthopedic surgery centers can replace paper with an EHR, streamline billing and inventory, and flag payor issues early to protect margins.
Software built for hospitals or physician practices falls short of the orthopedic surgery software needs of today’s ASCs.
Disconnected billing tools, inventory challenges, and hidden payor risks drain staff time and erode margins. Our ASC software is purpose-built for surgery centers, streamlining workflows, ensuring compliance, and protecting profitability, case after case.

What’s best?
In a perfect world… your ASC schedule is full, every chart is 100% complete by wheels-out, and 90% of patient balances are paid before surgery. That world exists: HST’s unified architecture lets ASCs share one source of truth for scheduling, clinical operations, and revenue cycle operations.

Get 100% chart completion with built-in tools like status indicators, missing H&P alerts, and automated task assignments for every case.

Frequently Asked Questions
We aren’t ready to move away from paper charting. Can we still use HST without the electronic charting solution?
Yes, it’s completely possible to use HST and do paper charting. You can use HST for the financial management side, and we can even make it easy to print out paper chart packs with all the case info.
Do you integrate with the physician practice and hospital software used at sister facilities?
Our staff and surgeons are already stretched thin—will adoption be painful?
Of course, any change requires some new learning. Dean Ward from Aspen Surgery Center talked about their implementation experience with HST: “For a center of Aspen’s size—with 10 ORs across two locations—this was by far the smoothest implementation I’ve experienced. The collaboration and transparency made all the difference.”
As he said, customers have found this to be a smooth and quick process. Our customer support and success teams offer proactive monitoring, tactical insights, and quarterly check-ins. We provide practical, customized training and consultant packages to help you address challenges and improve operations, with continuous support every step of the way.
