How to Enter Patient Information Into Medisoft Clinical

Medisoft is a medical billing software suite that lets individual practitioners, group practices, clinics and hospitals manage patient data, generate reports and file medical claims electronically. The latest iterations of McKesson Medisoft include a fully integrated EMR that meets the requirements for physicians and practices to participate in the Meaningful Use Incentives authorized in the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The electronic patient records module allows doctors and health practitioners to enter information and encounter notes in the manner most comfortable to them, and integrates the diagnosis and billing codes directly into the database where they can be accessed by billing personnel and accounting, as well as being available for diagnostic, prescription and other medical purposes. Entering patient information into the Medisoft interface is quite easy, and all the necessary settings are accessible from a single integrated dashboard, which can be personalized for each member of the staff who needs access to any portion of the electronic patient records. Here’s how to enter patient information into Medisoft Clinical.

Entering New Information on Existing Patients in Medisoft Clinical

From your dashboard, click the List menu, then select “Patients/Guarantors and Cases”. Find the patient name and select it, then click the “Edit Patient” button in the bottom-left corner of the window. Enter the new patient information in the appropriate field s in the Medisoft template. Click “Save” and you’re finished.

Adding New Patients to the Medisoft Clinical Database

From your dashboard, click on the List menu and select “Patients/Guarantors and Cases.” At the bottom of the windows, click on the “New Patient” button. Enter the information for the new patient into the appropriate database fields and click “Save.”

It’s that simple to enter and edit information in Medisoft Clinical. The electronic patient records software also makes it easy to accomplish basic tasks related to check-in, patient encounter notes and after-appointment. Among other things, you can check patient insurance eligibility in real time from the dashboard. Once the patient’s insurance information has been entered into the database, all it takes is a simple click of a button to send an Internet request to the insurance company regarding eligibility and get a return response immediately.

Once the patient has been escorted into the exam room, a nurse of PA can log into her dashboard and record patient history, main complaint and vital signs directly into the patient chart. The physician can enter progress notes in a number of different formats, depending on the methods he or she is most comfortable using. At the end of the visit, the front desk can process payments, schedule tests and appointments and provide any referrals needed, all using Medisoft EMR to track and record everything.

Medisoft is available through certified resellers, many of whom offer training and additional modules to help you get a head start with using the award-winning software in your office.
