Surgical Healing Arts Center Case Study

This case study details the collaboration between Surgical Healing Arts Center and Bamboo Health to enhance the integration of E-FORCSE, Florida’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, with the eClinicalWorks electronic health record (EHR) system. The center, located in Fort Myers, Florida, specializes in bariatric surgery and faced challenges in accessing comprehensive prescription histories for patients who are dual residents or visitors. The integration aimed to streamline the process of querying PDMP data, which is crucial for managing the high prescription rates of opioids among bariatric surgery patients. The solution implemented allows physicians to access PDMP data quickly during patient encounters, significantly reducing the time spent on this task. This integration not only improves patient safety by providing a consolidated view of prescription histories but also enhances communication with insurance companies regarding prescribing patterns. The case study highlights the positive impact of this technology on patient care and the efficiency of clinical workflows.
