Turn EHR Pain Points into Opportunities
Used correctly, electronic health records (EHR) are a great tool that give physicians a complete and accurate patient file. It holds all the patient information, including appointments, authorizations, insurance information, medical records, and even billing. But without a proper management strategy, that tool can cause bottlenecks in the system.
While most facilities have an EHR system, many do not make the best use of them. EHRs can reduce medical errors, improve patient care, and provide practice efficiencies and cost savings. According to HealthIt.gov, 88% of providers report that their EHR produces clinical benefits for the practice and 75% say it allows them to deliver better patient care. Providers don’t just miss out by not implementing a management strategy for their EHR system — they create a chain reaction that can hurt their business.
What You Put in is What You Get Out
As with any management system, the effort put into entering information will ultimately affect the results down the line. It’s difficult to retrieve data accurately from the EHR if codes and medical terms are not used consistently, and unentered data from the day before causes backlogs the next morning. All of this can disrupt the workflow of the practice and eventually cause physician burnout.
Think of the EHR system like a desktop folder. Housing all your documents in a single folder makes it difficult to find what you need, but having multiple, organized folders allows you to search efficiently. Physician Office Practice Management Services with AQuity Solutions partners with you to identify your organizational needs and preferred method of data entry, giving you complete and easy access to everything you need.
