Pediatric Associates of Richmond Implements Pulse’s Patient Relationship Management Solution

January 9th, 2007

RICHMOND, VA and WICHITA, KS- Pediatric Associates of Richmond, Inc., (PAR), a public fixture in Richmond for over 40 years and winner of multiple awards for excellence in Pediatrics, chose Pulse, the leading provider of Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR) and Practice Management (PM) systems, to fully automate their medical records with the Pulse Patient Relationship Management solution. This partnership will streamline PAR’s operations and further Pulse’s presence in Virginia.

Pediatric Associates opened their doors in 1960. They were voted Favorite Pediatric Group in Style Weekly for 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006.  Their physicians have been consistently named Top Pediatricians in Richmond Magazine since 1999.  Pediatric Associates focuses on primary care pediatrics.

PAR began looking for a fully integrated PM and EHR in 2004 to replace their outdated PM system and make the transition to EHR. They hired a nationally renowned consultant to review and evaluate the numerous available options. He recommended three systems to Pediatric Associates. The staff at PAR chose the Pulse Patient Relationship Management solution because it gave them the flexibility they were looking for and the professional technical support they needed to successfully implement the solution.

Dr. Matthew Weber, physician with PAR, said that he is looking forward to easily accessing data. With two locations, and record storage at both, transferring records from one location to another is a costly and time consuming chore that Pulse EHR will eliminate. He also anticipates the efficient task organization and management that Pulse EHR offers. “I’m excited about it and looking forward to the transition,” says Weber. “We’re happy to have chosen Pulse. We’ve gotten good feedback from the implementation team. We’re impressed.”

Basil Hourani, President of Pulse says he is happy to hear positive feedback: “It’s gratifying to hear from satisfied customers. We offer innovative products based on solid technology, but we don’t stop there; good customer service is difficult to find in today’s fast-paced world. At Pulse, we pride ourselves in delivering full service and growing positive business relationships with our customers.”
