The Number One Solution to Implement Better Practice Reveals by International Private Practice Marketing Expert Nitin Chhoda
Denville, NJ (PRWEB) September 03, 2013 -- “The only thing that clinicians should do is to implementing an electronic medical record system which will surely help improve patient numbers and boost cash flow. An EMR has built-in tools to track marketing efforts, increase patient counts and increase the turnaround time on reimbursements,” said Chhoda.
The Affordable Health Care Act mandates that those in medical professions implement an EMR by the year 2014. Chhoda added that therapists should make every effort to install a system as soon as possible, not just to avoid federal penalties, but for the overall benefits to their business and the financial health of their clinics.
Practice owners are seeing decreasing patient numbers due to factors over which they have no control. EMR system helps mitigate the effects brought about by patients’ declining incomes, lack of insurance and loss of employment, bringing them back into the clinic for needed treatments.
Marketing of physical therapy business doesn’t have to be expensive to be effective. Low-cost marketing methods are available that will increase patient numbers and boost referrals. Clinicians can make informed decisions about where to focus their marketing efforts and ascertain what creates the best return on investment with the assistance of information and tools which an EMR system can provide.
Client care, expansion, availability of services and a superior level of patient care is dependent upon a steady cash flow and EMRs drastically reduce the turnaround time on reimbursements. Claims are filed electronically, arriving at their destination almost immediately, and allowing them to be processed quicker. Funds are deposited directly into the clinic’s account with very little wait time. EMRs virtually eliminate physical therapy billing and coding errors, denials and the need for additional information.
Implementing an EMR provides the means for practitioners to create more effective marketing campaigns to increase client numbers and dramatically reduce the turnaround time for reimbursements. Chhoda’s new number one solution for increasing business allows clinics to maintain compliance with the Affordable Health Care Act, while maximizing their marketing efforts and dollars.
