Clinicians are hearing a lot about being more efficient in their practice and it’s essential for professionals practicing in the Obamacare era.
Reimbursements are being reduced by Medicare and insurance companies, and clinicians must evolve in the way they operate their practice if they are to maintain a viable business.
One of the ways clinicians can accomplish that is through the use of EMR and billing software that works together.
In Touch EMR™ and In Touch Biller PRO interact seamlessly to accomplish the three key areas to improve workflow – patient intake, documentation and billing.
Patient Intake
During the intake process, In Touch EMR™ allows the front desk to verify and obtain patient information directly from the payer, create a patient file and schedule an appointment.
The information automatically goes into the EMR system where it can be retrieved by the clinician when the client arrives for their appointment.
Automatic Documentation
The one-click documentation available with the In Touch EMR™ saves an enormous amount of time. With one click, the clinician can create a document for that patient to record everything from an evaluation to treatment notes.
One of the unique features of In Touch EMR™ is that clinicians can make progress notes and they all appear automatically anytime the patient record is opened providing them with an at-a-glance overview.
Practitioners can make changes to their notes to reflect changes within the patient and their progress.
The EMR system also alerts clinicians to G codes and other pertinent data.
One Touch Billing
In Touch EMR™ works hand-in-hand with In Touch Biller PRO to make the billing process as easy as possible.
At the conclusion of the patient’s visit, clinicians simply hit one button – finalize claim.
Patient data and documentation is automatically sent to In Touch Biller PRO where it’s ready for submission.
The claim appears within the billing software and clinicians can designate if claims are sent individually or as batch files.
Increasing the overall efficiency of the practice workflow allows for greater accuracy, less wasted time and increased revenues.
The keys are patient intake, documentation and billing.
When those three aspects work together, it provides a better patient experience and increased revenues for the practice.
