Gonzaba Medical Group Selects Intergy By Sage Electronic Health Records at New Paperless City of San Antonio Clinic

Posted on: Wednesday, 9 July 2008, 09:01 CDT

TAMPA, Fla., July 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Gonzaba Medical Group, a multi-site medical practice with 20 physicians, has selected Intergy EHR by Sage Electronic Health Records and Intergy by Sage Practice Management (PM) system to provide its newest San Antonio-based clinic with seamless access to patient and clinical data at all points of care -- without the use of paper charts.

"We researched a multitude of healthcare IT vendors and found that only Sage Software offered a fully integrated database system that would allow us to interoperate with legacy clinical, administrative and financial applications," said William Gonzaba, M.D., founder and CEO of Gonzaba Medical Group. "Since we have Intergy by Sage already installed in our other clinics and have experienced the resulting improvements in productivity and cash flow, we are confident that the addition of Intergy EHR will also deliver substantial workflow efficiencies and enhanced patient care."

For 24 years, Gonzaba Medical Group, with more than 200 clinicians and staff, has been in the forefront of healthcare delivery in San Antonio with multiple clinic sites offering primary care and ancillary services such as physical therapy, radiology, MRI and CT imaging and occupational medicine. On August 1, 2008, the organization will launch a health and wellness clinic dedicated to fulfilling the needs of the City of San Antonio's 11,000 employees. The facility will leverage Sage Software's electronic health records and practice management solutions, as well as onsite medical equipment such as MRI scanners, bone densitometers and spiral CT scanners, to provide a "one-stop-shop" medical clinic experience. This new facility will allow patients to obtain all diagnostic procedures and therapeutic interventions in one visit, reducing the impact on patient's limited time, travel and financial resources.

"Intergy EHR will enable us to save precious minutes once wasted searching for patient data -- minutes that could make a difference in a patient's outcome," stated Dr. Gonzaba. "Additionally, the integrated system's clinical decision-making tools will result in reduced patient errors and improved clinician compliance with best practices."

"We share Gonzaba Medical Group's passion for delivering exceptional customer service and patient care," said Sharon Howard, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing for Sage Software. "The intuitive design of our solutions, combined with our extensive online and onsite training, will ensure that the August 1st launch will occur with great ease and success."
