Lake Forest, IL (PRWEB) December 8, 2004 -- Scribe, a leading healthcare technology company based in the Chicago area, today announced that Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush, the US News and World Report #1 Ranked Orthopaedic program in Illinois and team physicians for the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Bulls, has implemented Scribe for its documentation workflow and repository requirements. The solution centralizes workflow for multiple locations, with multiple transcription companies. It also provides a central repository with deficiency, cycle time, and disclosure reporting.

Delivering the very best patient care and strengthening relationships is very important to us. With Scribe we are able to quickly access patient information from any location. Referral letters are delivered in half the time. And weve reduced our billing cycle," says Dennis Viellieu, Midwest Orthopaedics CEO. Furthermore, weve minimized change while reducing unnecessary steps."
