Problem

Scaling with Spreadsheets Led to Operational Gridlock

A fast-growing provider of vein care services, was rapidly expanding across clinics in Texas, Arizona, and Florida. With that growth came increasing operational complexity. Each clinic was managing patient acquisition, scheduling, insurance authorizations, and treatment workflows through a tangled network of Google Sheets.

Manual tracking across the entire patient lifecycle led to inefficiencies, redundancies, and a high risk of error. Patient information had to be copied and pasted between tools, with the same data entered multiple times across spreadsheets and the EHR system. Without a centralized platform, departments—from marketing and admin to clinical staff—operated in silos.

High-value employees were bogged down with repetitive data entry, spreadsheet maintenance, and cross-clinic coordination, all while lacking real-time visibility or workflow automation to streamline operations.

Q1

Solution

SmartSuite Transformed Disjointed Clinics into a Unified Workflow

To streamline operations, the medical provider adopted SmartSuite as the central system for managing the full patient journey. The team replaced their sprawling spreadsheet-based system with a unified, automated solution tailored to their workflow needs.

SmartSuite enabled a standardized data structure across all locations. From intake to treatment tracking, every step of the patient lifecycle was brought into one platform. Teams could now manage referrals, verify insurance, and coordinate appointments in a consistent and centralized manner.

Custom forms were used to intake patient data, which then flowed automatically into structured views and dashboards. This eliminated manual data entry while improving traceability and coordination between teams. SmartSuite’s ability to integrate with existing tools also helped bridge gaps with their EHR.

Q2

Results

Major Time Savings and Clear Visibility Across All Clinics

By implementing SmartSuite, the organization aligned over five partner clinics around a shared set of processes and data views. The need for manual copying of data across spreadsheets and systems was eliminated, freeing up an estimated 50+ hours weekly that were previously spent on repetitive tasks.

Teams gained a shared, real-time view of each patient’s progress, from initial inquiry through post-treatment. Administrative overhead was reduced, and the accuracy of scheduling and insurance workflows improved significantly.

SmartSuite has become the backbone of operations for this medical provider, offering automation, collaboration, and visibility in one scalable platform. As expansion continues, the system will support additional clinics and services without additional complexity.
