With ProVation EHR, ASCs have affordable access to a single, patient-centric documentation system that eliminates printing and chart storage costs and streamlines workflow. ProVation MD, available for the full range of ASC specialties, replaces dictation and transcription and allows physicians to efficiently document procedures at the point of care. ProVation software produces complete, coding-ready and image-enhanced procedure notes that result in greater efficiency, increased profitability and clinician satisfaction.
North Shore Gastroenterology was established in 1990 as a partnership between Dr. Peter Greenwalt and Dr. Mousab Tabbaa, and its first endoscopy center opened in 1995.
