“There are many necessary tasks that are performed every day in a clinic, but they can be tedious and time consuming,” said Chhoda. “The self-intake capabilities of an EMR can automate many of those jobs, freeing staff to attend to patient care and streamlining processes throughout the practice.”
Patient portals are the epitome of 21st century office systems, helping therapists optimize the client experience. EMRs offer patients the convenience of scheduling appointments online, completing necessary medical forms, and providing essential insurance information. A patient portal offers clients a convenient way to pay their portion of medical expenses utilizing a debit or credit card.
Pre-registration procedures with an EMR provide therapists with advance information on a client's medical condition prior to their appointment. It eliminates long waits in the office that can adversely affect the client's perception of the clinic. Chhoda noted that the information gleaned through the intake process allows staff to validate insurance information, determine covered treatments, and clarify any discrepancies prior to the appointment.
Clients can request and download information, communicate with clinicians on a variety of healthcare concerns, obtain medication refills and view their diagnostic results. Patient portals provide the means for clinicians to automate communications with clients to remind them of appointments and balances owed through email, phone, and text and voice messaging.
EMRs provide the means to automate an extensive array of office tasks that cost a clinic time and money. Chhoda's new information provides practitioners with vital uses for their EMR to enhance the patient experience, increase self-payments for the clinic, and offer an advanced level of convenience for both clients and clinicians.
