Dr. Michael Ruma, MD, MPH, FACOG is a Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist for Perinatal Associates of New Mexico, a leader in outstanding high-risk pregnancy care. Watch as he shares how AS Software helped his practice grow and thrive while saving valuable time previously spent on ultrasound documentation.
Challenge
Manual Fatigue and Reporting Burdens
Without an automated ultrasound reporting system in use, clinicians at Perinatal Associates of New Mexico were limiting time with patients to manually type ultrasound reports and locally print them. The inefficient ultrasound documentation process was a large time burden hindering growth at the practice.
Solution
Reporting Efficiency and Automation
Dr. Ruma engaged AS Software to help drive efficiency by automating and organizing the reporting and review process:
Allowing all images to be easily accessed remotely, from anywhere in the world
Efficiently creating high-quality, succinct reports for referring providers that are easy to read
Quickly faxing and sending information through integration with Greenway EHR

“A dramatic amount of growth happened over the last decade because AS Software allows us to be highly efficient and organized, with great connectivity to electronic medical records.” Dr. Michael Ruma President, Perinatal Associates of New Mexico
Results
Increase in Patient Study Volume with Decreased Ultrasound Documentation Time
AS Software automation significantly reduced the time required to create an ultrasound report from 5-7 minutes to 30-60 seconds. This efficiency enabled the practice to expand services, accommodate more patients, and establish additional offices and satellite sites. In the first year alone, the practice increased its study volume while reducing documentation time by 86%*.
Quote
“We were able to move through the day faster and more efficiently, which allowed us to see more patients and ultimately achieve financial improvement,” noted Dr. Ruma
In the first full year of using AS Software, Perinatal Associates of New Mexico experienced a 23% increase in patient volume, resulting in a $315,000 increase in practice revenue.
Dr. Ruma and the team at Perinatal Associates of New Mexico continue to partner with AS Software to optimize their healthcare practice, achieving significant improvements in staff efficiency, business growth, and patient outcomes.

*This percentage is determined conservatively by taking the higher end of the initial timeframe—7 minutes, or 420 seconds—and comparing it to the higher end of the post-automation time of 60 seconds. By subtracting the post-automation time from the pre-automation time, dividing by the pre-automation time, and multiplying by 100, we find that each report now takes 360 seconds less to complete, multiplying savings across each report and significantly increasing the practice’s efficiency.
