One of the best things about Medisoft Clinical
is that it is more than an electronic health records system. It is a
complete, integrated practice management solution geared to small and
medium size health care practices. If you’re looking for a system that
can handle both electronic patient records and medical billing, Medisoft
Clinical fits the bill in a number of different ways. Here’s what you
should know about choosing the right EMR and medical billing software
for your practice.
One
of the first questions you should ask your practice management software
vendor is “Is this software fully integrated or is it two systems that
have been cobbled together?” Here’s why.
When
you’re working with a medical records system that has been stuck
together with a medical billing system, you’re often dealing with
multiple databases. It often means making entries in multiple forms for
one transaction or encounter. A fully integrated practice management
system makes your life easier by pulling all records from a single,
integrated database. You only enter data once and it appears everywhere
it needs to be.
Bring the Whole Office in on the Medisoft Decision
Before
you make a decision on which medical software package to buy, make sure
that you’ve got input from all the workers who will be using the
system. Your medical staff will care a lot about things like electronic
patient records, ease of charting and access to important information,
but won’t think too much about how hard or easy it is for the
administrative staff to deal with billing, scheduling and other admin
issues. Administrative staff will care about things like error checking
and ease of creating billing forms, but not as much about whether or not
the EMR warns physicians if they’re about to prescribe medication that
will interact with another med the patient is currently taking.
When
you choose Medisoft Clinical or Medisoft EMR, you’ll get a chance to
let your staff try out the demo and give it a test run so you can get
their reaction to the entire system before you invest in it. Your
medical providers will be delighted with the system’s BrightNote
technology, which allows them to enter progress notes in whatever method
is most comfortable and familiar to them, and with the access to a
constantly updated database of treatment protocols, symptoms and
diagnostic tools. They’ll also love the integrated dashboard that puts
all of their tasks and tools right on the desktop for them.
Your
admin staff will also love the BrightNote technology, but for a
different reason. It’s a “one touch” data entry system – each piece of
data is only “touched” once. The provider enters the diagnosis, tests
and other procedures into the encounter notes, and his notes are
automatically populated throughout the database. Admin and billing staff
will no longer have to look up diagnostic and billing codes or
transcribe notes manually.
You’ll love Medisoft for the boost it gives your office
efficiency and collection rate. The full integration between different
parts of the software reduces errors and increases first-time claims
acceptance so that your office is more productive, profitable and
efficient.
