How Franco & Co Set Itself Apart from the Competition with a Fully Integrated Platform

Franco & Co, a Podiatry practice operating 2 locations with 1 provider, struggled with paper-based workflows, limited mobile access, and outdated patient experience tools. By implementing FutureMD’s integrated platform, Franco & Co improved charting workflows, streamlined patient intake, and strengthened revenue collection performance.

The Challenge

Like many growing specialty practices, Franco & Co needed a more flexible and modern healthcare platform to support both clinical and administrative workflows. Managing patients across multiple care settings while relying on outdated systems created inefficiencies that affected productivity, documentation, and patient experience.


1. Limited Access to Patient Information on the Go

Managing Patients Across Multiple Care Environments

Dr. Sandra Lee Franco works closely with nursing homes, assisted living facilities, hospitals, and office-based patients. Accessing patient records while moving between locations was challenging without a mobile-friendly solution. The lack of real-time access made it difficult to securely review schedules, update charts, and manage patient information efficiently outside the office.

2. Inefficient Documentation Workflows

Paper-Based Processes Slowing Productivity

Without reliable mobile support, Dr. Franco often relied on paper charts during patient visits. Documentation would pile up throughout the day and later needed to be manually entered into the EHR system. This process consumed valuable time and increased the risk of incomplete records, especially when documenting wound care cases and lower extremity reconstructive surgeries that required patient images and detailed notes.

3. Outdated Tools Undermining the Patient Experience

A Modern Practice Running on Old-Fashioned Software

Franco & Co built a beautiful and clinically innovative medical spa experience, but their older software system didn’t reflect the same level of professionalism and convenience. Dr. Franco wanted technology that was intuitive for providers and staff while also delivering a smooth, modern experience for patients.

The FutureMD Solution


FutureMD Solutions implemented a fully integrated, cloud-based platform purpose-built for specialty practices. The platform eliminated the fragmented, paper-based processes that had been holding Franco & Co back, replacing them with seamless digital workflows across documentation, scheduling, patient communication, and revenue cycle management.

Key capabilities deployed:
  • Mobile app (Companion) for secure, on-the-go access to patient charts and appointments.
  • Streamlined point-of-care documentation, including direct photo capture within patient charts.
  • talkEHR with one-click provider communication and integrated office chat.
  • Breeze for a modern, patient-centered intake and check-in experience.
  • Integrated RCM for end-to-end revenue cycle management.

The Results

By adopting an integrated and mobile-friendly platform, Franco & Co achieved measurable improvements in efficiency, collections, and patient satisfaction.

FutureMD's RCM team manages the full revenue cycle using the same integrated platform, creating end-to-end accountability that drives faster, cleaner collections. The result was a measurable improvement in net collections and stronger, more predictable cash flow for the practice.

Enhanced Patient Experience

Modern Intake, Loyal Patients, New Revenue Streams

Franco & Co now leverages Breeze, integrated directly into their EHR and practice management system. Patients can check in, update their information, and complete intake forms from home or using a tablet device in the office. Combined with an in-office retail store offering spa products and over-the-counter medications, the practice now delivers a modern, relaxed experience that attracts new patients and opens up additional revenue opportunities.

Greater Clinical Efficiency

50% Faster Charting & 10-Min Reduction in Patient Intake

By replacing paper-based workflows with FutureMD's mobile-enabled platform, Dr. Franco dramatically reduced documentation time. Charting is now completed at the point of care, whether in the office or in the field, and wound photos are added directly to patient charts through the Companion app, eliminating the need for manual re-entry entirely.
