Chhoda Says Physical Therapy EMR Documentation Software Just Got Easier and Better
Denville, NJ (PRWEB) July 26, 2013 -- "Physical therapy EMR software offers significant advantages over paper documents. It increases efficiency and productivity, and they offer a secure means of documenting a wide range of information," said Chhoda.
EMR software system is very portable that it can be operated from a laptop or tablet for convenient access from any locale. Chhoda noted that EMRs are changing the way medicine is practiced, from scheduling to billing, allowing therapists to document every aspect of a patient’s visit in real time as exams and treatments are taking place. Every single detail can be entered, from symptoms and prescriptions to billing information.
There’s no longer a need for transcriptions or entering notes at a later date because the information is entered into the patient’s permanent record at the time of the visit which can be accessed immediately by anyone who is authorized to know. Patient data is available in a clear and readable format, with no need to decipher notes made on the fly.
EMRs offer a whole-office system of practice and patient management. Physical therapy scheduling software allows clients to make appointments online, provide insurance information, and set up a patient profile before they even visit the office. Time spent in the waiting room filling out pages of medical history is reduced, allowing therapists to provide treatments in a quicker and more efficient manner.
The marketing capabilities of EMR is often overlooked facet of the system. Chhoda said that EMRs provide therapists with the means to document referrals and monitor marketing efforts. Clinics need new patients to grow, and electronic documentation provides the analytical tools to market successfully for an expanding practice.
One of the biggest advantages of physical therapy documentation software is its integration to electronic billing. Physical therapy billing is quick and can be ready for submission before patients have completed their treatment. Data can also be saved and batch submitted at the end of the day. Clinics enjoy better cash flow for a more profitable business.
The possibility always exists for a lawsuit and reimbursement paybacks. Occupational therapy software provides a date stamped record for complete accuracy. EMRs provide multiple billing and coding options to reduce mistakes, errors and paybacks.
As part of that effort, Chhoda shares new ways to utilize physical therapy documentation software and offers the no cost trial of In Touch EMR, created by him and his wife inventor Ritika Gulrajani, PT and DPT. His expertise assists therapists with the transition process and helps them establish an EMR in their practice before the 2014 deadline.
