Office Manager for Dr. Ryan, Rebecca Willhight told Benchmark, “We originally became interested in purchasing an EMR after I attended a Lean Conference and decided that an EMR would help us become more efficient. At that point, I began researching different EMR companies and went through about 25 different EMR software packages. I selected Benchmark because of their flexibility and ease of use.  I especially like how customizable the encounter templates are and how helpful all of the trainers and support staff have been. My medical assistants quickly learned the practice management software and are very eager to begin using the electronic medical software portion.”
