“All ASCs are focused on cost savings. And SIS Complete provides us with cost-effective access to the latest in ASC software, while also handling software updates, technology, and security needs.”
The surveyor who I went over medical records with did nothing but rave over how easy and good SIS Charts is. I was able to run through her questions so quickly and efficiently. She told me she sees a lot of EMR systems or paper charts still, and this is the best.
Having everything on one platform [SIS Complete] increases the interconnectivity between staff, physicians, and patients throughout the process, not just on the day of surgery.
Physicians increasingly expect technology to be a part of their professional lives. SIS Charts Physician Mobile helps physicians prepare for surgery by giving them convenient access to the current schedule, case details, and attachments. They can also sign off on orders, medication reconciliation, and op notes using whichever device they choose.
SIS has reengineered ASC management software to streamline the steps to perform various functions. Everything you need is on one screen.
Using SIS Link has been very easy from our ASC's perspective and the perspective of our physician offices. The flow of the offices scheduling their procedures into the ASC through SIS Link has been a great feature. We thought we would need to put more man hours and work into explaining SIS Link and getting the process to work well with the offices. That has definitely not been the case.

In the operating room, I like that SIS Charts Anesthesia starts capturing the patient’s vitals without me having to do anything with the documentation. That allows me to focus on my patient first and then pull the vitals into the chart once the patient is stable.
The business and clinical desktops [of SIS Complete] have the same layout that everyone is used to. It makes it easy to train users on the system.
We felt it was going to be a very easy migration [to SIS Charts from AmkaiCharts]. And we were correct. Gone are the days of intensive on-site training because it is just so easy to use.
The medication documentation process using SIS Charts Anesthesia is great. It’s easy to access, easy to record the drugs, and easy to correct the documentation of times or dosages, if necessary. I really like the ability to click and slide to change a time. Everything is very easy and straightforward.
Everything I need is on a single screen [in SIS Charts]. I can walk to the computer we keep in between operating rooms and complete my post-op note and the procedure note using these templates in just a few minutes, tops.
I had never used an EMR before, and didn’t want to start. But once I began working with SIS, I had an instant change of heart.
Revenue Cycle Services has helped us decrease AR over 90 days from 41% to 26% and increase net collections by more than 60% so we have more revenue to invest in patient services.
For centers that are unable to take on the work internally [to prepare for a AAAHC certification survey], you can’t just coast along hoping the problems will solve themselves. Over time things will only get worse. Outsourcing to an ASC expert like SIS' Ann Geier is the way to go.
Working closely with SIS has helped us lay a great foundation with our physicians and staff who now have a better understanding of how to be effective and efficient from operations to reimbursements, and that translates into long-term success for our center.
