Dr. Robert Segal, founder of Manhattan Cardiology, has built his practice into a multi-specialty group in cardiology and internal medicine with seven locations. One of the keys to this expansion has been Studycast.
“I can’t say enough about Studycast and its personalized approach to our private practice,” said Dr. Segal. With Studycast, Manhattan Cardiology has been able to expand to multiple locations and dozens of physicians, and even undergo an EMR migration, without an interruption in service or a reduction in output. “It’s been one of the foundational operational systems that integrate with our EMR.”
“We’ve saved a lot of time. Quality has only gotten better.”

Meanwhile, the time savings that Manhattan Cardiology has experienced as a result of using Studycast has been substantial. “Having a worklist has been a huge time savings for us,” Dr. Segal explained. The order is placed in the EMR, and then all relevant information is sent to Studycast. This has significantly reduced manual data entry. “Staff morale is up. I know when we hire staff that haven’t worked with Studycast, they’re always kind of amazed.” This, in turn, has helped with staff retention.
Ninety-nine percent of the practice’s studies are read within 24 hours, a metric Dr. Segal attributes directly to Studycast: “We’ve saved a lot of time. Quality has only gotten better.”
Whether it’s maintaining accreditation or supporting evolving cardiology guidelines, Studycast has kept Manhattan Cardiology ahead of the curve. “It’s very user-friendly, and the reporting is outstanding. I think Studycast is one of the main drivers for our success, and my team members can’t say enough about the platform.”
