Dr. Nadeem Dhanani, a Texas-based urologist, has had extensive exposure to EMR systems and yet always felt as if something was lacking. “I’ve had quite a lot of experience with EMR systems in various settings, since after finishing my fellowship I’ve worked in academic institutions, large health care organizations and smaller practices,” he said.

“I’ve always tried to utilize the EMR technology provided. My experience ranges from simply drafting templates to serving on IT steering committees to trying to optimize large EMR systems and tailor them to departments and group practices. I have always had this sense that something was missing that made these systems more of an obstacle to overcome to treat patients, rather than a tool that facilitates and improves the patient/physician interaction at the point of care,” Dr. Dhanani explained.

“A colleague of mine introduced me to Modernizing Medicine’s Electronic Medical Assistant® (EMA™), and I learned that the company was interested in developing EMA for urology,” Dr. Dhanani said. “I participated in a demo and was absolutely blown away. It’s a paradigm shift from what we as physicians are used to and the current technology available. EMA is so intuitive and minimizes the mundane tasks of documentation. Even more, EMA allows you to capture the essential parts of a patient story, physical exam findings and the thought process that goes behind making management and treatment plans. I decided to join the Modernizing Medicine team as the Medical Director for EMA Urology to help develop the product for my peers who are in need of the features and benefits that EMA offers.”
