Chhoda Recently Released the Latest Benefits of a Web-Based Physical Therapy EMR Documentation System
Denville, NJ (PRWEB) July 16, 2013 -- Chhoda said that it is essential to obtain an EMR for physical therapy services. He added that "To obtain the full benefits of an EMR system, it should be specifically designed for use in a physical therapy practice."
EMRs for physical therapists run the gamut from those that provide basic documentation services to complete systems that address all facets of the practice and integrate easily with the normal workflow of the individual office. Chhoda cited the following benefits of a web-based physical therapy documentation system.
• Business metrics. An electronic medical records system provides the means for physical therapists to monitor and track the success of marketing efforts, determine where to focus future efforts, and ascertain where referrals are originating. Therapists will locate which referrals are making appointments, identify those unlikely to follow through with treatment, and establish protocols for patients that require reminders.
• Pace. Physical therapy documentation software enables fast access to records from virtually any location. There is no need to wait for records to pass through the postal system or rely on the memory of patients about the treatments, procedures and prescriptions they may have had. Billing can be done electronically to reduce reimbursement turnarounds and bring funds into the practice quicker.
• Establishment. Chhoda noted that physical therapy documentation software offers intelligent organization of information, allowing for quick and easy documentation. A user-friendly interface decreases the time needed to learn the system and provides an intuitive means of entering information.
• Flexibility. Electronic medical record for physical therapy services can be customized to accommodate the needs of individual practices. As treatments and procedures evolve within the practice, an EMR gives the ability to reflect changes in the industry.
• Cost-effective. A physical therapy EMR lessens the costs in a number of areas, from postage and paper to storage space and bulky computer systems. A system such as In Touch EMR system, developed by husband and wife team, Nitin Chhoda and inventor Ritika Gulrajani PT, DPT, is also available for the iPad.
Chhoda said an EMR for physical therapy services meets all the needs mentioned above. His new list of benefits for a web-based physical therapy EMR documentation system provides physical therapists with a starting point to seek the EMR system that’s right for their practice.
