EMR Software Facts
Electronic medical records and EMR software adoption by physicians, although broadly encouraged, has been slow to catch on. With President Obama offering a financial EMR stimulus package to promote adoption, practitioners in long term care and assisted living facilities now have another great reason to adopt an EMR. Here are five EMR software facts about physician electronic medical record use.
EMR software fact #2. Link all patient data into one convenient physician-friendly view.
EMR software fact #3. Have networked physician tools at your fingertips.
Nursing homes tend to have few readily available physician-useful tools. Up to date drug encyclopedias, medication list availability, diagnostic code lists, laboratory results, patient and visitation schedule tracking, remote access and other tools are far from an exhaustive list. F-Tag references for physicians are EMR benefits not conveniently found in the usual nursing home practice. Electronic medical references offer a robust solution.
EMR software fact #4. You WILL optimize your revenue.
An efficient EMR will save documentation time and increase productivity, even in a fee for service model. Additionally medical billing and medical coding with automated charge capture and diagnostic coding creates timely, consistently accurate charges for your billing service and third party payers. Initial cash flow reduction is mitigated by using the EMR on a small number of patients each day until proficiency is achieved.
EMR software fact #5. You need to stay competitive.
Healthcare modernization has stimulated electronic medical records
use with growing expectations on physician practices from Medicare, insurance companies and patients to minimize medical errors, cut costs and improve the flow of medical information. Medical communication is significantly improved through data synchronization using web-based or client-server EMR software. Take a competitive advantage and the leadership role in your medical community by being the 'first on the block' to use these innovative EMR tools to improve your patient care.
