How We Improved Our Practice and Our Bottom Line With a New EMR System
2008
Overview
Using a high-quality electronic medical record (EMR) integrated with a high-quality practice management system is the future of medicine. In an era of stagnant reimbursement rates, skyrocketing overhead costs and higher levels of accountability, medical offices need to use technology to streamline work, increase efficiencies, improve documentation, decrease malpractice risk and improve profitability. One of the major benefits of EMRs is the increased efficiency they offer. EMR's alert system helps ensure that physicians do not forget important tests, such as a repeat chest CT every four months to follow up on someone's pulmonary nodule or a repeat colonoscopy in three years to recheck a patient's colon polyps, thereby providing both medical-legal benefits and improvements in quality of care. There is no waiting for staff to enter charges from paper superbills into the practice management system. Despite the start-up cost, EMR has provided an excellent return on investment -- the gift that keeps on giving.
