Case Study

Hyland Software OnBase ECM enabled WESTMED to streamline paperless processes across departments, delivering greater value to the entire organization.


WESTMED Medical Group, a physician-owned and managed multispecialty group practice founded in 1996 and based in Purchase, NY, has been an early adopter of health IT, implementing its GE electronic medical record (EMR) system and Hyland Software’s OnBase enterprise content management (ECM) system in 2002. Led by President and CEO Simeon Schwartz, MD, and Medical Director Barney Newman, MD, the visionary medical group developed a strategy to completely move from paper to electronic records, eschewing the common practice of having both an EMR and paper record. OnBase is helping WESTMED to achieve its paperless vision in the clinical environment, but the ECM solution is also enabling the management of all forms of content and streamlining of paperless processes across departments, thereby delivering greater value to the entire organization.
