Nitin Chhoda Provides New Information to Improve Overall Patient Experience
Denville, NJ (PRWEB) October 10, 2013 -- “Clients very much appreciate convenience. They don’t like long waits in the office,” said Chhoda. “Improving the patient experience should be a goal for every practitioner. Those who fail to do so will find their patients going elsewhere.”
The biggest boon for therapists who want to attract and retain patients is an integrated EMR. The systems provide the means to reduce patient wait times, complete essential forms from the comfort of home, and pay balances online whenever it’s convenient.
Clients can also interact with their therapist online, view test results and request medication refills with their home computer, laptop and virtually any mobile device.
Chhoda said that EMR technology handles much of the intake work traditionally completed in the office waiting room. Health histories and insurance information can be completed online at the client’s convenience. Patients no longer have to spend time filling out paperwork in the office and reviewing all records to process physical therapy documentation. Therapists have all the necessary information before the patient’s appointment, allowing individuals to be seen quicker.
Based on the coverage, caps and limitations of the client’s insurance, therapists can provide creative and effective treatments for better patient outcomes within the boundaries of the client’s healthcare policy. Collecting insurance information online expedites the reimbursement process for the clinician and allows coverage to be verified prior to the appointment.
Chhoda added than an EMR platform provides multiple methods of medical billing for patients to pay their outstanding balances online, utilizing credit or debit cards and bank accounts. Individuals have the option of making recurring or one-time payments any time of the day or night. It’s convenient for clients and provides increased cash flow for clinicians.
Chhoda’s new information on EMRs provides key points well worth considering by clinicians who want to compete successfully. EMR technology provides multiple tools to improve the overall patient experience. Chhoda said it’s important to note that happy clients establish long-term relationships with their practitioners and become a number one resource for referrals.
