This partnership provides an automated interface between the two systems allowing practices to increase cash flow and save staff time, improving the economics for the practice. The bi-directional interface electronically populates demographic, financial and clinical data collected by Phreesia at check-in into e-MDs Solution Series, eliminating the need for manual data entry from practice staff.

"Medical practices are looking for integrated solutions that can help them improve operations," says Michelle Steil, LPN/Practice Manager at VIP Pediatric Associates, a Vanderbilt Integrated Provider. "Together, Phreesia and e-MDs give us the ability to maximize our time with our patients by eliminating the manual work involved in patient intake and managing finances."

Together with e-MDs' industry-leading EHR solution, the two systems now offer a comprehensive solution that streamlines practice operations. Phreesia, which checks in millions of patients each year, collects and updates critical patient information, verifies insurance, and collects copayments and balances during check-in.

"Our clients have been asking e-MDs for a tightly integrated point-of-service check-in solution," says Patrick Hall, e-MDs' Executive Vice President of Business Development. "e-MDs already is the most user-friendly EHR solution on the market for medical practices.
