Chhoda Recently Released How Private Practices Can Maximize the Marketing Tools of EMR System
Denville, NJ (PRWEB) November 27, 2013 -- “EMRs are already a large part of physical therapy management and used to keep track of patient physical therapy billing, appointment history, and other pertinent information,” said Chhoda.
He has found that EMR systems can also monitor the total number of new patients and referrals received each month. Medical practitioners can quickly see the amount of patients that scheduled appointments. The source of those referrals can be charted to discover where marketing efforts should be focused. The statistics provided by the EMR offers valuable information for therapists who want to expand their services, open a new facility, and determine staffing requirements.
According to Chhoda, EMR provides the tools for clinicians to see how many visits are being cancelled, if the appointments are being rescheduled, and how soon. The physical therapy software system allows therapists to determine the average number of visits by each patient and identify at what level of treatment patients are ending their visits. The data presents a great deal of management tips and marketing plan opportunities for facilities.
It’s always been critical that customer service is a direct reflection on patient satisfaction. And Chhoda said that satisfied patients will continue to patronize a physical therapy facility. EMR is valuable in determining how many patients are receiving treatment, which procedures are being received and the amount of hours invested to deliver therapy services. This information creates valuable insight that can be used to schedule staff, offer new procedures and manage patient cases more efficiently for greater productivity and increased client satisfaction.
Chhoda’s new tools for physical therapy marketing provide the practice owners and staff with new ways to monitor patient visits, referrals and gauge the success of their marketing efforts.
Initially, an EMR can seem intimidating to practice owners, but Chhoda is certain these systems are well worth the effort. They effectively and efficiently provide physical therapists with high tech tools that provide enhanced customer service, increased revenues and help expand physical therapy practices.
