Go Electronic with Medisoft

If your health care office is still operating with paper charts, you’re falling behind the curve. Electronic patient records provide an incredible number of benefits in work reduction, easing workflow and improving accuracy – not to mention reporting that makes it easier for you to provide better services for your patients and clients. McKesson, makers of Medisoft medical billing software and Medisoft Clnical, provides affordable electronic patient records software that has all the features and benefits you’d expect in much more expensive software. It’s so good, in fact, that it’s the choice of many major trauma centers and teaching hospitals around the country.

If you’re still weighing the benefits of converting to a paperless office, consider how just this one feature of Medisoft electronic patient records and medical billing software could make your office life easier.

Automatic Data Population

In the old-fashioned office, you made notes in a patient’s chart – if the chart actually made it to the examining room before you saw the patient. Otherwise, you made your notes on a form and trusted that it would find its way into the right patient chart. Likewise, any lab reports or notes from consultants had to be manually inserted into the patient file. When it was time to bill, your office staff had to translate your notes into diagnostic codes and enter them by hand into billing forms, print out the billing forms and mail them out.

With Medisoft Clnical EMR, you enter your patient encounter notes directly into the electronic record, using whatever method is most comfortable for you. You can dictate your notes, jot them down on the tablet, type them via a keyboard or onscreen keyboard or use prepared templates. Once you’ve entered the information, the EMR automatically populates it to all relevant fields throughout the patient chart. That eliminates all the work of transcription and the risks of transcription errors that can disqualify your payment claims, or worse, impact patient health.

When you couple Medisoft EMR with the available Codes module for diagnostic and billing codes, you cut the physical labor required for billing in half. The program automatically checks your billing forms for accuracy and ensures that your billing forms comply with the standards you’re required to meet. That increases your payment rate, and reduces the amount of time you spend chasing money – which increases the amount of time and effort you can put toward what really matters – taking care of your patients.
