His work in preventative medicine has earned him national recognition from Bridges to Excellence in diabetes, hypertension and physician office management.

• Revenue: Dr. Bradley achieved a first-year return on investment of over 250% and increased his patient load by 28%. The quality measures he implemented with Praxis also earned him reduced insurance premiums, bonuses for eprescribing, and a Stage I Meaningful Use incentive payment.
• Meaningful Use: Dr. Bradley successfully attested for Stage I Meaningful Use quickly and easily, and is prepared to instantly adjust his clinical practice guidelines to accommodate the criteria of Stage II.
• Satisfaction: Dr. Bradley and his staff report that Praxis EMR has reduced office stress, allowed them to work far more efficiently, and given them a deep sense of satisfaction knowing they are providing better and better care.
