Even with a robust EHR software practice often face a decrease in efficiency rate. The root cause of this problem is the unnecessary blockage and long waiting lists faced by your patients. This is happening because along with the delayed call turnaround, it takes a long time to manually obtain the health history of each patient prior intake. This also disturbs the actual patient-physician engagement time. This extra step sometimes also results in data entry errors which cause more issues harming the efficiency of your practice.
As Jinous Rouhani, CEO of Austin Area Obstetrics said: “We need to find a way to improve efficiency during the appointment to allow physicians to see more patients per day without being bogged down in data entry”. It is necessary that appointments should not go beyond the allocated time, practices should provide quicker response time, and reduce the error risk to provide better care.
The key to maximizing your practice’s efficiency is complete adoption of Patient Portal along with your EMR Software the atomization of all of the process including obtaining demographic details, health history, insurance claims, billing, telephonic communication response, and lab results and prescription refills requests etc. for results that only require a confirmation through HIPPA compliant secured channels.
Today there are many Patient Portal EMR Software vendors in the Electronic Health Records (EHR) Software industry therefore, just to keep in check a robust patient portal should provide:
- Automated appointment scheduling and rescheduling
- Instructions on next appointment requirements
- Online Billing
- Repeat tests
- Changes to the care plan
