EMR for Medical Practice’s Efficiency

August 18, 2010 - EMR, or electronic medical records, are computerized health or medical records compiled by doctors and staff. Medical records contain everything from billing history and lab results to discussions with doctors and prescriptions. Electronic medical records are a more thoroughly compiled record of patient’s medical history.
Traditional paper records kept in files at doctor’s offices often leave a lot to be desired. It takes days, and sometimes weeks, to properly compile records of test results, prescription medications given, office visits and hospital stays. Sometimes these records are never properly compiled. Doctors often struggle with knowing how many different doctors a patient is seeing, especially if they don’t use insurance to pay for such visits.
EMR changes all that. Healthtec Software is a premier provider of medical billing software and electronic medical records/electronic health records software. Healthtec Software has been in the business of providing software for medical practices since 1986. For more than two decades they have gained experience and knowledge about how to help practices become more efficient and profitable.
Healthtec Software understands that every practice is different, and therefore, has different software needs. That’s why they custom build software packages to best fit each practice. Their goal is to outfit their customers with the best suited, most cost effective software solutions available.
Electronic medical records and medical billing software saves time and money for practices. The costs of storing digital records are much less than storing paper records. When EMR is implemented, the cost of copying, faxing and transporting paper records is eliminated.
EMR alerts doctors before a mistake is made, such as prescribing medications that could have dangerous side effects with medications patients are currently taking. This will eventually save medical practices money paid out for mal-practice lawsuits.
Medical billing software, which is one of the many upgrades available, scrubs claims before they are sent to insurance companies. By scrubbing claims, doctors are ensured claims will be accepted at much higher rates. Insurance companies much prefer dealing with electronic medical records over paper billing. Even Medicare payments are paid out faster when submitted electronically.
Healthtec Software also provides flexible scheduling software. Scheduling becomes easier and hassle free when done with flexible scheduling programs. Doctors, nurses and staff schedules are easily integrated with patient appointments. Rescheduling appointments and follow up appointment alerts are all easily handled with flexible billing software.
