Results and Benefits
chart-line-solid
Once Keystone Technologies migrated Orthopaedic Institute’s NextGen EMR to AWS they experienced a 50% general increase in speed of application responsiveness - field to field and screen to screen. There was also a huge performance improvement in moving between modules of the NextGen application compared to the past and printing large Rev Cycle reports that used to take hours, that time was reduced to minutes.
gauge-simple-high-solid
While recently working with the new Rev Cycle company hired by Orthopedic Institute, they noticed that there was a large difference in speed between what they saw at other customer sites and what they observed in the new AWS environment. They were able to place the SQL Temp file on a new, much higher tier flash storage overnight and reconfigure SQL to achieve a reduction from around 45 minutes to process a large Rev cycle batch submission down to 7 minutes.
