Central Texas Pediatric Orthopedics & Scoliosis Surgery (CTPO) has been serving the local community since 1990. Owned and operated by Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeons with Pediatric Fellowship training, CTPO is truly one of a kind. With an emphasis on treating spinal disorders, clubfeet, leg length discrepancy, and many other orthopedic congenital abnormalities, CTPO has set a standard for exceptional care, and is the only facility of its kind in central Texas.
The Challenge
Existing CTPO paper patient files can range from ¼ to 3 inches thick, or up to 200 documents per file. All closed patient files were stored off site, and, if access was needed to one of those files, a staff member had to travel to this remote location and look for the file and document.
Pending patient charts posed an entirely different challenge that was still just as costly and time consuming. With two different locations seeing over 100 patients per day, and its doctors also on call at Children’s Hospital, active CTPO medical records were constantly having to be couriered to the doctor’s current location, wherever that may be on any given day, for review – amounting to thousands of dollars per month in courier fees.
