FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 20, 2009 --
There is no doubt businesses today benefit from technology. Customer retention is better achieved through CRM software (Customer Relationship Management). Financials are easier to maintain with a double sided entry i.e. debit/credit software ledger. Companies who manufacture have a host of software solutions helping them improve quality while streamlining operations and collecting costs. 100% of today’s successful businesses leverage business software.
Businesses 20-30 years ago were like medical practices are today. Skeptical of change, fearful of the software cost and unclear of the added value a software solution can bring to the table. While medical practices have leading edge technology in their instruments, only an estimated 8% of today’s medical practices have implemented an EMR solution, only 8%!
The hesitancy for medical practices to embrace EMR software can be organized into two basic categories:
1) Lack of capital resources to purchase an EMR/EHR solution.
2) Concern about the physician’s ability to use an EMR/EHR solution.
Lack of capital resources to purchase an EMR/EHR solution.
Five, even three years ago, the price for EMR software was substantially higher then it is today. As the EMR space becomes more competitive combined with less expensive hardware, prices have bottomed out. As demand for EMR software increases, prices will eventually start going back up. Therefore, this is the opportune time to make an EMR software purchase.
Concern about the physician’s ability to use an EMR/EHR solution.
Physicians may only spend 15 minutes with a patient. However, ordering radiology, lab work, consults, proper assessments and transcription can actually consume much more of the physicians time. Why would a physician want to further complicate this issue with software?
In reality, the key benefit of EMR is time. With an EMR solution, it takes seconds to pull a chart, radiology, consults, prescriptions and lab work can be ordered during the encounter. Encounter / progress notes are assimilated automatically eliminating transcription time and costs. E&M coding assistant helps to bill faster, and up bill to higher levels, quickly, efficiently, with the data required to support an audit.
With the technology advancements in tablet PC’s, it’s like writing in a notepad or log. Except with a tablet PC, concise medical information is being captured and stored in a digital patient record.
Of course there are other benefits as well. Automatic drug interaction checking, insurance validation, lowered malpractice insurance premiums, Medicare and Medicaid rebates and more.
Maybe it’s time to give EMR software technology a second look, and see how PrognoCIS EMR can give you back your time while improving patient care and the bottom line.
