Chhoda Shows How Latest EMR Physical Therapy Software System Manages Practices for Better Profitability
(PRWEB) September 01, 2013 -- “EMRs have the tools to help practitioners conduct more effective marketing campaigns, manage staffing requirements and communicate with patients. These are the future of physical therapy practice management,” said Chhoda.
Healthcare practice management in the 21st century continues to undergo dramatic changes brought about by the Affordable Health Care Act and EMRs help therapists meet those challenges. An integrated physical therapy EMR offers flexibility, better patient care through detailed documentation, and access to information by multiple medical providers. Chhoda identified the following as the top ways an EMR will help in practice management.
• Reputation management -- positioning the clinic as a preferred practice for increased patient numbers due to its automation;
• Establish staffing demands and determine the most productive staff members;
• Generate more effective marketing campaigns that increase referrals and target specific demographics;
• Communicate with patients online and collect payments via debit and credit cards.
• Comprehensive documentation process that’s updated real-time and can be accessed by multiple providers for a complete history of client treatments, medications and surgeries, allowing treatments to begin sooner;
• A simplified and more streamlined workflow -- enabling therapists to treat more patients;
• Automated physical therapy billing for quicker reimbursement recovery and very few denials;
EMRs that are web-based can be accessed from any location where an Internet connection is available, providing a platform for expanded staff education. Chhoda said that in the 21st century practice, clinicians will need to take a more active role in staff education to produce the knowledgeable therapists of tomorrow and an EMR provides the means to accomplish that goal.
These new information provide therapists with additional ways to utilize their EMR to the best advantage and manage all facets of their practice. EMR is a physical therapy software tool that allows clinicians to compete successfully in the medical arena. It offers the flexibility to seek new, cost effective treatments, see more patients, and increase revenue collection to maintain financially sound clinics.
