Medisoft Clinical Is an Integrated EMR and Medical Billing Solution

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.
