One Of Largest Physician-Owned Neurology Practices Finds Achieving Meaningful Use Easy With PrimeSUITE's MU Dashboard

Minneapolis Clinic of Neurology

The largest privately owned neurology practice outside of an academic setting in the nation, the Minneapolis Clinic of Neurology, founded in 1955, is widely known and respected for the expertise of its staff and the quality of its care.

The clinic provides comprehensive neurology and physical therapy services through its Golden Valley, MN main office, four satellite offices and 40 outreach locations throughout greater Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Services include adult and pediatric general neurology, subspecialty neurology programs, neurodiagnostic testing, rehabilitation services, neuropsychology and psychology. www.minneapolisclinic.com

Challenge

In a large physician-owned practice such as the Minneapolis Clinic of Neurology (MCN), successfully adopting mandates for change can be difficult. But seeing the value of a modern electronic health record to support their delivery of coordinated, best-practice care, in 2010 MCN took the leap from paper charts and an old practice management system to a new fully integrated EHR/PM solution from Greenway — PrimeSUITE®.

With the new EHR in use for only a few months, the clinic began the process to attest to meaningful use so it could qualify for federal incentive funds. The challenge was how to track and prove meaningful use across so many providers and locations…especially since the organization is relatively flat, with few intermediate staff members between the front desk and the physicians themselves.
