Automating Physical Therapy Documentation Process is Possible with EMR According to Marketing Expert
Denville, NJ (PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- “An electronic medical record automates the whole physical therapy documentation process, from managing patient scheduling to handling billing. It allows therapists to develop more effective treatments. This physical therapy software streamlines every aspect of practice management, from documenting patient visits to faster reimbursements,” said Chhoda.
Chhoda has recently collaborated with inventor, Ritika Gulrajani, PT, DPT, to create In Touch EMR, which is specifically developed for physical therapists. This software provides a complete patient care platform and electronic billing center, utilizing electronic versions of forms with which therapists are familiar. The program can be customized to address the needs of individual practices.
The hallmarks of an EMR system are to deliver better patient care, enhanced efficiency and greater profitability. Clinics employing occupational physical therapy software experience significantly fewer reimbursement denials and quicker turnaround on payments for increased financial health. Chhoda noted that electronic medical records provide therapists with a complete system of documentation and protection should a malpractice suit be filed.
According to Chhoda, patients have access to an extensive array of treatments, procedures and prescription medications even before the creation of EMR systems. However, therapists, would wait days or weeks to obtain pertinent medical information from other providers. With EMR, therapists have instant access to complete patient records from any location. Medical professionals are known for having notoriously bad handwriting and EMRs provide clear, legible notes and instructions.
This physical therapy management software integrates easily into the normal workflow of any practice for greater efficiency in all departments. Clients can utilize an EMR patient portal to schedule appointments, enter insurance information or request information. The software offers an efficient means of gathering contact information of potential patients, ascertaining where referrals are originating and where marketing efforts should be focused.
In Touch EMR, a recently developed physical therapy software, provides a new level of documentation for all facets of physical therapy practices. Chhoda and Gulrajani team offers therapists a physical therapy documentation system that requires no expensive monthly fees and integrates the abilities most desired by practice owners to move them forward to the next level of patient treatment and clinic profitability.
