Experience the Benefits of Using a Web-Based Physical Therapy Documentation System by Nitin Chhoda
Denville, NJ (PRWEB) August 26, 2013 -- “A web-based EMR is environmentally friendly, saves money and doesn’t require the installation of extensive infrastructure. EMRs are available that can have clinics up and running in as little as 30 minutes and provide online training in their usage,” said Chhoda.
He added that one of the biggest benefits of a web-based physical therapy EMR is the cost savings. A web-based system operates and saves information in the cloud, eliminating the need to purchase servers and update existing infrastructure. Those who choose to house an EMR on-site are responsible for maintaining their own security and remaining HIPAA compliant. Those who fail to meet the appropriate standards face severe penalties and expensive lawsuits.
Most clinicians will be able to save valuable time with an electronic medical records system, therefore, increasing efficiency and productivity throughout the practice. A web-based system provides extreme portability within the office and for practices that offer services in satellite locations. Web-based systems can be accessed anywhere an Internet connection is available. Clinicians can easily expand their services into other areas for increased avenues of revenue.
Web-based PT documentation software offers the convenience of online training, allowing staff members to learn the system without interrupting the clinic’s natural workflow. Chhoda said with the right web-based system, transitioning to an EMR takes less time than with an on-site system and practice owners won’t have to invest in an expensive team of IT specialists.
A web-based EMR expands the repertoire of electronic capabilities for practices that allows them to save money on everything from office supplies to postage. It’s an environmentally friendly alternative that doesn’t require costly equipment and infrastructure upgrades. It also provides portability that enables clinics to take advantage of expanding opportunities in physical therapy markets.
