The Effects on Scheduling, Documentation, Billing and Marketing Modern Clinics Using the EMR System Are Shared by Chhoda
Denville, NJ (PRWEB) October 16, 2013 -- “Those four areas are key for any practice,” said Chhoda. “EMRs have advanced tools to expand clientele, conduct targeted marketing campaigns, and collect reimbursements quicker. Documentation is easy, detailed, and able to handle the new ICD-10 codes.”
He added that one of the advantages of an EMR is the ability to collect an extensive amount of patient data for scheduling rather than a simple notation in an appointment book. The EMR system can also function much like a personal assistant to schedule professional and personal events, meetings, staff vacations and sick days, and when other medical professionals won’t be available.
As an alternative of having staff call and arrange lab work, x-rays or surgeries, therapists can utilize the power of their EMR to coordinate client services in multiple locations with virtually any healthcare professional. EMR calendars are accessible from any point around the globe where an active Internet connection is available.
Electronic medical records provide practitioners with the most detailed physical therapy documentation available and records are instantly updated. Chhoda noted that EMRs can virtually eliminate reimbursement contestations, denials and rejections. The systems encompass complete diagnosis and CPT codes and have the ability to flag requests that could cause potential problems within the reimbursement process.
An EMR provides therapists with valuable information that can be used to execute a wide variety of marketing efforts and customized for specific demographic groups. Clinicians can monitor the success of each strategy, determine its efficiency, develop plans for optimum success, and determine where referrals are originating.
Appointment scheduling, documentation, medical billing and marketing are key tasks for any clinic and Chhoda’s new EMR information provides practitioners with essential data that can be used to improve every department within a practice. Chhoda noted that EMRs are high-tech tools that every therapist needs to provide better patient care, increased efficiency within the practice, and facilitate reimbursements.
