HealthTec: The Medical Billing Software Will Put Your Medical Practice At Ease
San Antonio, Texas, October 11, 2009 – HealthTec Software Inc. believes that the key to a successful medical practiced is when every member of the facility – from doctors to nurses, to pharmacy and auxiliary departments to the administration – are working on their maximum potential in providing quality patient care and profound customer services. The Medical Billing Software is a good asset to any healthcare facility as it is convenient to use, it provides accurate and efficient provision of medical services and is more cost effective.
Most of the time, the personnel at the records section are spending a lot of time on the encumbrance brought about by the paper based medical records such as filing, stacking and recording. What’s more waste of time is retrieving medical records of formers patients who are once again re-admitted. With the implementation of the medical billing software, retrieval of records and old charts are easily done.
This is just one of the crumples that HealthTec wants to straighten out. HealthTec provides medical billing software that will surely put an ease to your staffs and at the same time put the patients, who are the focus of care, in priority. With the paper-based methods, your staff is too busy in writing down orders, transcribing orders and in filing insurance claims, without even noticing that too much time is already spent on paper works. They are no longer able to do what is supposed to be done – spending time with the patients and providing healthcare services.
HealthTec wants to emphasize that the Medical Billing Software is a solution to the problems encountered by your facility as it can meet the growing demands of the facility’s staff by doing most of the filing of insurances and in expediting the payments made by the insurance.
As opposed to the paper-based methods, the medical billing software eliminates the likelihood of file misplacement and loss, as the patient’s medical records are all stored in the computer’s memory and are safely guarded with password to prevent personal information disclosure to unauthorized personnel. It is also a good way to save a large amount of space. Your staff will surely be able to work more efficiently in an environment that’s free of rubbles from the many storage cabinets and racks used in filing the medical records.
It’s about time that you give your facility a break from all the encumbrances made by the paper method of medical practice. Let them be the best that they can be in providing quality medical services to your patients, rather than on papers. With that, you will not only improve your facility’s workflow efficiency, but will generate an increase in the revenues.

HealthTec: Promote Proper Management to Improve Your Facility’s Service Efficiency
San Antonio, Texas, October 11, 2009 – HealthTec believes that a facility can only improve its efficiency in providing medical services if it is properly managed. This can be achieved with the implementation of the EMR (electronic medical records) in the day to day workflow of the frailty.
As the leading consigner of EMR, HealthTec stresses out the importance of proper management of practice especially in the healthcare setting. This can be achieved if all concerned in the care of the patient are communicating well. Through constant and uninterrupted flow of communication among healthcare providers and departments, healthcare services are easily implemented and carried out more efficiently and faster. When healthcare is promptly rendered, chances are patients will also have shortened hospital stay because of fast recovery.
Time management is also a key to successful service efficiency. However, time management is often times not fully established in a facility that continues to work on paper-based methods as more time is spent on paper works rather than actually spending it with the patients and customers of the facility. With the EMR, there is no worrying about time management as most of the paper work are eliminated and changed into computerized files. Just with a few taps on the screen or clicks of the mouse, the work is done, there’s no need to write or pull out records from racks. All are stored in the EMR’s memory.
“A medical service can only be considered efficient if he personnel are prompt in responding to their patients’ needs,” said Vance Nelson, President of HealthTec. The most crucial thing to consider here is how the services are delivered to the patients, especially if the facility is dealing with people’s lives. Any delay in the delivery of care could result to further morbidity or worse, death.
This is why the EMR is important. It does not only allow the administrative staff to keep records of all the facility’s activities and medical records, but it also upholds the facility’s ability to work properly. HealthTec’s EMR allows proper documentation, provision of quality services and easy retrieval and storing of patient’s files all rolled up on one package. The EMR software can adapt to the growing needs of quality and efficient medical services today, that’s why having an EMR software integrated in the healthcare setting is a must.
The quality of care being rendered to the patients is all related to how efficient the staffs are in providing medical services. The EMR also prevents the occurrence of errors among the medical and nursing staff as the EMR is customized to cater not just the needs of the patients but also the staff who are the providers of care.

HealthTec: Double Your Facility’s Revenue With Electronic Medical Records
San Antonio, Texas – October 11, 2009 - for the past years, many hospitals and healthcare facilities integrated have reported a measurable increase in their revenue since they have started to integrate the Electronic Medical Records in their managerial working system. So how did the transition from paper-based practice to the fully-automated computerized electronic EMR have increased the income of the facility? HealthTec explains the reasons why.
Firstly, the electronic medical records can increase the facility’s revenue by enabling the capture of all charges. Contrary to the EMR, many services that were performed are lost or are not billed because the staff may have erroneously entered a data or billed lesser that expected when the paper-based method is used. The EMR can greatly increase the revenue by capturing all of the charges provided by the facility and its physician.
The EMR uses system billing codes that are acceptable by all insurance agencies. HealthTec Software Inc.’s Electronic Medical Records software is highly customizable to meet the ever-changing needs and demands of insurance companies. More so often, insurance companies are changing codes to facilitate ease in workflow, with that the EMR can easily adapt to the changes made, thereby avoiding the possibility of losing a big sum due to unrecorded services.
Another thing is that the incorporation of electronic medical records software can also increase the staff productivity by spending more time in rendering quality patient care top the patients rather than on documentation and transcribing of physician’s orders. Without the EMR, the healthcare team who are responsible for the primary care of the patient – nurses and doctors -will have to spend a few minutes writing down orders and transcribing the orders, often times, nurses are having difficulty in deciphering the handwritings of some physicians leading to errors in medication and in implementation of interventions. Confirmation of the order will also take another time before it can actually be carried out.
The Electronic medical records software can actually process penmanship no matter how the order is written. Also progress notes are easily generated in the EMR, giving the physician more time to be spent on the Emergency department of the hospital or the consultation rooms, rather than sit on the nurses. Station and write down notes. Nurses can also spend more time in bedside care rather than in charting as the EMR as the patient’s progress and work activity for the day are all generated in the EMR.
HealthTec’s electronic medical software also increases the services offered by the facility with its health maintenance reminders feature. The EMR provides computerized alerts that will prompts the patient and the physician about scheduled follow-up visits like removal of sutures or just plain check-up of the patient’s recover progress.

Put Your Staff at Ease and Your Patients First With the Medical Billing Software
Having the Medical Billing Software in your facility’s system is surely a great asset as it is convenient to use, it provides accurate and efficient provision of medical services and at the same time saves a great deal amount of space. However, despite the benefits of the medical billing software, there are still facilities that continue to use the paper-based methods. Most of them reason out that the idea of medical billing software is too much for their facility to afford and are hesitant for the transition since they are already used to the paper-based method. While some think that the transition might just cause further delay in their work since the staffs also have to make big adjustments.
With the paper-based medical records a great deal amount of time is being wasted in filing and retrieving records; time that should rather be spent on the customers. The amount of time lost is also equivalent to the revenue lost. Filling out insurance claims and filing patient accounts take a lot of time resulting in interruptions between quotes and insurance claims filed and payoffs. Because of being too tied up or overly busy, the staffs may have to sacrifice the satisfaction of their customers just to have their work done. And with that, your staff can’t be where they’re rally supposed to be – with the patient, answering their questions and hearing out their needs and meeting their demands.
Having Medical Billing Software will surely avoid those kinds of circumstances. Your staff can still meet the demands of your patients as the medical billing software will do most of the jobs that they used to do while on the traditional paper based records. The best part of integrating the medical billing software is that it expedites the payments of the insurance and electronically stores the patient’s billing records.
Another good thing about the Medical Billing Software is that it prevents the misplacement or loss of patient’s medical records since the patient’s files are neatly stored in the computers’ memory. As opposed to the paper-based methods, chances of misplacement and loss of patients’ files is more likely to occur. Aside from the fact that it saves a large amount of space, the medical billing software also decreases the facility’s expenditure in the purchase of office supplies like papers and filing racks or cabinets used for storage. No more time is spent looking around for the dusty patient files, just a few clicks and drags of the computer’s mouse will find the files, saving your staff from looking around the racks.
Erroneous data as well as errors in the actual filing of the patient’s insurance claims are also prevented from being entered in the medical billing software’s memory. Oftentimes, the conventional paper-base filing of your office’s records result to rejection of the patient’s insurance claims. With the automated billing system, your office will surely save a lot of time from refilling the rejected claims.
If what’s holding you back from investing on this practice management asset is your lack of confidence on the software, the best thing that you can do is to canvass and look for a medical billing software dealer that has built a good reputation in offering client satisfaction as this is the surest way that you will get your money’s worth.
It’s about time to give your staffs a break. Allow them to be as productive as they can be in rendering quality customer services. Build a good reputation by putting your patients on top of everything first. The medical billing software is tailored to do all of this.

EMR: Improving Service Efficiency Though Proper Management
EMR: Improving Service Efficiency Though Proper Management
The implementation of the automated EMR (electronic medical records) has profoundly increased the efficiency of the workflow in terms of delivering efficient healthcare services to the members of the public. The EMR allows interrelationship among the personnel of the different department in the facility, through constant and unblocked communication, resulting in the delivery of fast and effective medical and nursing services. The chances of the patients to get better faster are dependent on how the services are offered. The quicker and the more efficient the service is, the faster will the patient recover.
In any business setting, the most important thing to consider is how the services are made available to the customers, especially if the business is a hospital or a healthcare facility which deals in life and death situations. The medical service can be considered efficient if the personnel are prompt in responding to the needs of the patients. But how is it possible to offer prompt and efficient services to the patients when the personnel are tied up with paper works (documentation, transcribing doctors’ orders)?
Notice how most of the large tertiary and learning hospitals in the country are efficient in their work? This is because they are using EMR software. The EMR does not only allow the administrative staff to keep record of all the health records and activities, but it also upholds the facility’s ability to manage work properly. This is made possible as the EMR allows proper documentation, provision of quality services and storage of medical records easily.
The quality of care being rendered to the patients is all related to how efficient the staffs are in providing medical services. Any health institution that are not prompt in responding or addressing the problems of its patients will be questioned in their credibility to offer such services. For that matter, hospitals and healthcare facilities have implemented the use of the automated EMR in their system. As it allows better and uninterrupted communication among departments and provides a legible view of the patients’ medical records. The EMR also prevents the occurrence of errors among the medical and nursing staff as the EMR is customized to cater not just the needs of the patients but also the staff who are the providers of care. Nurse’s notes and transcription of the doctor’s orders are made easy with the EMR. It also prevents the likelihood of committing errors as the EMR is customized with alerts that prompts the physician or the nurse if an erroneous data is entered or if the patient has developed an untoward reaction to the drug as stated in his past medical records.
The EMR software can adapt to the growing needs of quality and efficient medical services today, that’s why having an EMR software integrated in the healthcare setting is a must. The EMR does not only benefit the institution from increased return of revenues but the patient as well. Provision of healthcare services is done more efficiently and much faster compared to the conventional paper-based medical records system..
From immediate medical services to efficient documentation to proper dispensing of prescription medications, to increase in revenues, the EMR is indeed a useful tool in maintaining the success of the health facility in terms of saving and preserving lives.

Increase Your Facility’s Revenue with the Electronic Medical Records
The big question when Electronic Medical Records is being talked about is if it can really increase revenues, and if it can, how? It’s already more than one year since the country was put to a state of recession. Even private companies are not spared. Some of the employees of other privately and governmentally owned companies are being laid-off just to cut down costs, including the hospitals. Fundings and donations from the private sectors are also affected. Because of the challenges in economy that the country is facing today, some physicians are being squeezed by insurance companies to accept reimbursements that are lower than expected.
And with that, any investment with an EMR can be highly justified if it can be of great help in increasing revenues, decreasing healthcare cost and in improving patient care which would lead to the optimization of reimbursements, collections and providing quality customer services.
The Electronic Medical Records can increase revenues in so many ways by improving the facility’s charge capture. Many performed services in a physician’s office or hospital are lost or not billed because of the staff may complete leave out or may have wrongly enter fewer units when the traditional paper based charts and medical records are used. The EMR can increase revenues by grabbing hold of charges for all services provided by the physician and the facility, thus the avoidance of revenues being lost.
The Electronic Medical Records also maximize billing by using system recommended billing codes that are based on the services that are precisely recorded in the EMR. Whereas in the traditional paper-based charts, some physicians are using a lower billing code just to stay on the safe side of the law and thereby losing a big sum.
Productivity of the staff is also increase when the EMR is integrated in the facility. Without the use of EMR, physicians, nurses and pother members of the health care team have to spend a few minutes per patient or task encounter. Writing down the orders in the physician’s order sheet takes time and needs to be reviewed for errors or miscalculations of prescribed drug before the doctor can sign the order. However, despite that nurses are sometimes having a hard time deciphering the physician’s handwriting, taking again a lot of time. The EMR can process handwritings and progress notes are automatically generated in the EMR’s system saving the staff a lot of time. The saved time can then be spent on other patients in the ER or consultation rooms. And the result is an increase in the revenue.
The electronic medical records software also increases the services offered by the facility with its health maintenance reminders. The EMR provides a computerized reminders and prompts that are sent to the patients who are due for their follow-up visit in the clinic. This increases revenue by helping the physician provide quality patient care by not letting the patients miss their annual or monthly check-ups.
The benefits that the Electronic Medical Records offer in terms of increasing the revenue is highly dependent from practice to practice and the type of facility involved. The key to success depends on the facility’s willingness to be subjected in full-automation and to perform overall adjustments to maximize the efficiency in work flow.
