EMR – The Easier Way to Keep Records

2010-09-22T08:07:00.001-07:00

EMR

With too many hassles that can be encountered with a paper-based recording, it may lead to a lot more problems, more than the ones that you encounter while you are searching for that certain record. To avoid encountering these situations, you can utilize an EMR to manage your records.

EMR – The Easier Way to Keep Records

In the health care industry, documentation is a very important part of the jobs of both nurses and doctors, including the other members of the health care field. If you take a look at what these health care professionals do, they always have with them their charts, where they take note of what is happening to their patients, whether there is prognosis in a patient’s condition, or whether the patient is deteriorating. The documentations that they make are considered as legal documents, and when requested by the court during legal proceedings, they should be presented. All the things that were written there will be considered as true, for if there are any false data that you have entered, you can be accused of false documentation.

Because of the importance of documentation in the field of health care, there is a need for an easier method of documentation, instead of the traditional patient’s charts. An Electronic Medical Record, commonly referred to as EMR is the most preferred method of keeping medical records. This system allows for the storage, retrieval, and manipulation of records. This way, workflow in the office will be smooth, without having problems on where you have written something, where the chart of your patient is, and whether you have written something important or not.

What is the difference then of using a paper-based record and an as EMR? First of, paper documentations need a significant amount of time before they are completed. In some countries, they require records to be kept for several years. Keeping these in order then would cost you much especially for the paper and film. If these papers are kept in different locations, arranging them would be difficult. You have to develop a way of arranging them in a way that will keep data easier to track. On the other hand, if you have an EMR, you will be working on a centralized database system. Here, you can work with just one computer, with the EMR set up, so that all the pertinent data that you need in a client will be presented to you with just simple clicks of buttons. You will not need to be flipping through pages, going through stacks of paper just so you can find a single data. In addition to that, an EMR can be constantly updated, so that with every client’s visit, you already know what his last visit is for.

It is unquestionable how hard it is to keep records for a certain company. You will need to have a very effective method of organizing data, such that they will not be scattered somewhere. To help you ease your problems, it would be better to have an EMR. To buy these ones, you can visit Healthtec Software to have more information on all the EMR units available.

Electronic Medical Records

Electronic Medical Records

Electronic Medical Records do not just make the work of documentation easier to health care professionals. These have other benefits as well, such as saving time and space, and the most important of all is the coordination of care for patients by the people who are in charge.

Advantages of using Electronic Medical Records

Among hospitals, clinics, medical offices, insurance companies and other institutions that need to keep their clients’ records, the use of Electronic Medical Records have become increasingly practiced. This has begun in early 2006, seeing how difficult it was to maintain the records of too many people coming in for consultations and for other services. If an office would have approximately 150 people in a day, and that happens for about 6 days a week, then think about the huge piles of records that would be created if paper-based recording is utilized by the institution. You will be required to keep these papers for some years, and then you have to have them shredded so as to protect the privacy of your clients.

Because of the difficulties of keeping paper-based records, the Electronic Medical Records were developed with the hopes of making things easier for those who are encountering these problems. Other than helping in doing works easier, there’s a lot more to these electronic medical records. One of the most obvious benefits that you can get from using EMR’s is the space that you can save. No longer will you have piles and piles of paper stacked in a room. Instead, you will just have a computer or two, which can be accessed by all your staff. With the space that you have saved, you will have more room for a waiting area so that your clients will not just be standing up in a corner.

Another great benefit that you can get from Electronic Medical Records is the coordination and understanding that can be developed within the health care team. This will be a great way of avoiding various miscommunication problems within the staff such as repeated doses of medications, prescriptions that were given twice to the patient, and so on. With the data right there in front of you, there’s no need to give calls to other doctors or those who are in charge of the patient.
Time is definitely saved with the use of Electronic Medical Records. Because you are working in a system that has a centralized database, you don’t have to go from one area to another to get information that you need such as laboratory test results. With the EMR, these can be sent to you in just a few seconds after you have made your call. So instead of wasting your strength going up and down the stairs, you can concentrate better on the care that you are giving to your patients.

Electronic Medical Records need to be safe since these are important information in a client. So to avoid this problem, it would be better to buy an EMR from a trusted source. To shop for these ones, you can go to Healthtec Software.

Medical Billing Software Helps Practices Improve on Many Levels

2010-08-19T13:20:00.000-07:00

The medical billing process is long and complicated when using paper. To comply with HIPPA, most billing claims for services where a doctor or other staff member interacts with a patient must be submitted electronically. To be compliant, medical practices must have medical billing software.
Medical billing software makes sense. In order to have insurance companies pay claims the old way, a paper bill had to be submitted and a record of services with proper proof the services were necessary was required. To be paid by insurance companies, medical staff had to get the paperwork done right the first time, or wait weeks or months to get paid for services rendered.
Medical billing software cuts weeks or months off of insurance payments, even for Medicare payments. Insurance companies strongly prefer to work with electronics claims rather than paper claims. Medical billing software, especially when integrated with EMR, or electronic medical records, helps doctors get payments from insurance companies faster.
Claims scrubbing medical billing software is designed to clean up billing and paperwork so it is complaint with all insurance company standards before it ever leaves the system. If something isn’t quite right, the system automatically flags the problem and gives suggestions for correcting it.
EMR, or electronic medical records, software systems often go hand in hand with medical billing software. Some high end software service providers, such as Healthtec Software, offer upgrades such as live attorney services, CPA and accounting services and more. When integrating all these services, it helps medical practices run more smoothly, efficiently and cost effectively.
Flexible scheduling software smoothly schedules doctor’s hours with office staff, nurses, physicians assistants and patient appointments. Follow up visits are easily fit in to schedules and appointment setting becomes much easier when these systems are integrated. Billing and scheduling software is a boon for medical practices.
Even lab results and scheduled tests are easily scheduled and later billed to insurance companies easily using these software programs. Healthtec Software is a premier software service provider with nearly 25 years in the business. Their software systems are custom fit to suit each client individually.
Healthtec Software offers many extra services not many other companies provide.

EMR for Medical Practice’s Efficiency

2010-08-17T21:33:00.001-07:00

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.

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.

Healthtec Fusion Software a Boon for Doctors Offices

2010-05-31T07:26:00.002-07:00

Heathtec Fusion Software is a revolutionary new way for doctors to improve their practices. Healthtec's EMR software organizes and eases the strain of keeping medical records and financial books in order.

Healthtec Fusion Software a Boon for Doctors Offices

Thanks to recent technological advances, doctor's practices across the world are changing the way they do business. Electronic Medical Records software is the biggest thing to happen to doctor's practices since the advent of the computer. News was releases last year that government is strongly encouraging the use of electronic records in health practitioner's offices to cut down on deadly mistakes, fraud and an amalgam of other issues affecting practices and insurance companies. Not only is EMR being strongly encouraged, it may be required by law, especially since the healthcare bill has passed and will come into effect soon. There will be a shortage of practitioners and support staff, which only complicates the healthcare industries' problems.

Healthtec Fusion EMR Software with optional upgrades is a revolutionary new way for doctors to improve their practices by easing the strain of medical and financial record keeping.

Software systems help speed the process of record keeping for physicians and clinical staff by providing efficient and easily accessible information. EMR software is custom programmed to fit each office and practice's needs. There are many optional upgrades available, including practice management tools and scheduling modules that create an "end to end solution" for enterprises, group practices or even solo practices.

One optional upgrade, Healthtec Practice Management, also known as Healthtec PM, offers financial and business control over receivables, which eases cash flow issues. There is even a practice analysis included with the program. It can be expanded with accounting upgrades to include revenue cycle management tools to make electronic claims simple and easy. The claims scrubbing, electronic patient statements and auto-appeal rules engine features are extremely popular.

Another popular upgrade is the Healthtec Visual Scheduler, which was years in the making. The program allows scheduling of providers and their staff, patients, equipment, surgeons and virtually anything else that needs to be scheduled. This program isn't just an upgrade though. It can be used as a "stand alone scheduler" or can be integrated with other available systems on the market.

Ten Questions to Ask a Patient before Scheduling

2010-05-31T07:26:00.000-07:00

According to the American Medical Association, receptionists should ask patients 10 questions before scheduling an appointment. Read on to learn more. To obtain Electronic Medical Record software to make scheduling easier, go to http://www.healthtec-software.com/Fusion.htm

Ten Questions to Ask a Patient before Scheduling

Patients generally judge their medical care by how quickly they can get in and out of a doctor's office, the bedside manor of the staff and the level and accuracy of care. According to the American Medical Association, it is the office receptionist's duty to ask patients a series of questions to help doctor's and nurses give their patient proper care.

1. What is your full name and how is it spelled? In order to verify insurance coverage, providers require the patient's full legal name, spelled correctly.
2. What is the purpose of the appointment? You will need to know about how much time an appointment will take. If lab work and x-rays will be required, a sufficient block of time should be reserved for that patient.
3. Do you have insurance? If so, what is the name of your provider? This information is necessary to verify that the patient has current coverage and to determine their co-pay and deductible due at the time of the visit. Check with the accounting staff to what additional information, such as the patient's date of birth and current address, is required.
4. When did you last have a doctor's appointment? Always verify that a patient has accurate contact and insurance information.
5. What is your age? If the patient is a minor, which parent's insurance plan covers them and what is their contact information? How is their name spelled? Who is responsible for decisions about the child's care and which parent will bring the child in?
6. What is your work and home phone number and what is the preferred method of contact? If your office gives confirmation calls, this information is very important. It is also useful for getting more information from the patient, such as billing information, treatment information, etc.
7. Where you referred by another doctor? If so, what is the doctor's name and contact information? It is important to know the name and contact information of the referring physician in order to obtain the patients medical records and other information from their office.
8. Should specific results and records be brought to the office with the patient? It is very important for patients who have been referred by other doctors or who have gotten test results from other physicians to coordinate those records with your office's records. If your offices use electronic medical records or EMR software, this is much easier.
9. Are you familiar with our office's policies? Your physician my have special instructions for their patients, especially if your offices is that of a specialist. For example, does the patient need to fast after midnight or take or cease to take any medications?
10. Do you have any questions? It's very helpful to both you and the patient to get any other questions out of the way before their visit. This can save time on both your parts, as well as save trouble for the physician and other medical staff.

How to Schedule Effectively in a Clinic

2010-05-31T07:25:00.001-07:00

Learn how to schedule patients in a clinical setting. With Healthtec Software's
EMR programs with scheduling program upgrades, go to http://www.healthtec-software.com/Fusion.htm

How to Schedule Effectively in a Clinic

Step 1 – Try to identify the average number of appointment your offices has per day. This will allow you to identify how many slots you will need to leave open each day. Keep track of the percentage of walk in appointments and last minute calls you get on the average day. Be sure to leave about 10% percent of the slots open for the nurses to schedule triage appointments.

TIP: Generally speaking, Mondays and Fridays are extremely busy days. Most offices keep about 50% of their slots open on these days for last minute and follow up appointments. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays 30-35% of the slots are usually held open.

Step 2 - Leave half the open slots and one hour in the morning and one in the afternoon open per doctor. These slots will be filled with same day appointments.

Step 3 – Stagger the open slots so if a patient can't make it in during a certain time with their usual physician they can see another physician at their requested time. For example, if a patient wants to see their doctor between 1 and 2 but that slot is full, they can see an alternative doctor during that time.

Step 4 – The other 50% of appointments should be filled by those who schedule appointments two weeks or more in advance. These appointments are usually for annual exams, routine checkups and for patients with chronic illnesses. Be sure to stagger these appointments as well. Doing so will prevent back ups at the scales, restrooms and eye charts and will give nurses more time for blood draws, urinalysis, etc.

It is not advisable to schedule early morning hours for same day appointments. These appointments should be scheduled for people who need to make it to work on time and are prepared to be at their appointment on time. It is also illogical to leave these appointments open as offices that open at 8AM begin accepting patients and open phone lines at that time. It is very rare that a patient calls at 8AM and can make it on time for their appointment at 8:15. Therefore, the slots are rarely filled.

The remaining open slots should be filled with follow up appointments. These slots should be scheduled no later than two weeks from their original appointment time. The patient will usually schedule the appointment before they leave the office. If there are any remaining slots open, they can be filled by walk-ins or same day appointments.

HEALTHTEC - MEDICAL BILLING SOFTWARE INNOVATIONS

2010-03-26T06:55:00.000-07:00

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 16, 2010
HEALTHTEC - MEDICAL BILLING SOFTWARE INNOVATIONS
The medical billing software of today enable the free flow of important information regarding patient care, equitable billing, administrative workflow and many other concerning areas of medical care. Whether by software platform or web-based access, medical billing software can save time and increase revenue. In addition, a medical office or hospital can use software programs designed specifically for their own specialty areas of practice, such as family practice, general care, or geriatrics, for example.
Whatever the specialty may be, the real bonus of utilizing medical billing software these days is the added capacity for quality of patient care. Medical billing software can do this by enhancing the physician/ staff experience first-hand through such innovative fusion features as the ability to handwrite as one is accustomed, with a pen- no keyboard! Envision a graphics interface which will absolutely enhance the charting experience by providing automatic coding for billing needs, both to the patient and to claims review. Tables and graphs are among the most useful tools of evaluation. A physician’s office or hospital utilizing medical billing software can take advantage of graphical overviews of the financial situation at any time.
Imagine the comfort provided to the physician, staff and the patient concerning accuracy of procedure codes, and the appropriate costs involved; not to mention the security of prescribing the appropriate medications in the intended dosages. Fusion of information input to medical billing software ensures along the communication line that the patient will go home with the proper prescription! This in itself is invaluable to not just the patient, but also the medical practice with its physicians, staff and investors. Medical billing software increases the capacity of the doctor to stand behind his recommendations, solid in the faith that the doctor’s orders will survive the fallible human chain of information by the aide of software management.
When a medical billing software is incorporated into the practice of healthcare, electronic health information is almost immediately available to appropriate personnel when that information is needed, whether in the originating office or outside the realm of immediate concern to that office. The idea is to let the billing software connect the dots of healthcare for your patient and your practice, which will cut down on human error and potentially lack of care due to simple ignorance of medical information or procedures which may be commonplace in another venue.

EMR – WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

2010-03-25T13:27:00.001-07:00

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 16, 2010
EMR – WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
In today’s ever growing world of medical care needs and options, it is more important than ever to have the ability to share the medical health information of patients on a national level and abroad. Electronic Medical Records (EMR), as the newer trend in medical records keeping, carries with it much promise for the future of medical care here at home, and around the world. There are several potential benefits to the physician’s practice, the hospital, and the patient by being part of such a system.
There is no better way to ensure that a patient’s medical needs are being met in the best manner possible than to participate and have access to a database of evidence based medicine. Many times a patient simply cannot get well despite receiving the very best care available through their personal physician. Even in cases where a physician uses a computerized practice management system, if that system does not take advantage of the hoards of clinical data input available via EMR, then the patient is likely to miss out on what could be life-saving treatment. While this is no fault of the physician or the hospital, it is unfortunate nonetheless.
When a hospital or physician’s office steps up from paper files to a computerized practice management system, they’ve obviously taken advantage of an electronic system of sorts; however, this is primarily of assistance within the office itself, or the hospital, as the case may be. Such programs are beneficial to the particular company regarding their records-keeping, billing, contact information, etc. The practice management software alone guards against such common errors as non-legible handwriting regarding patient treatment or prescribed medicines for instance. Contact information is easily accessible with the touch of a button. A practice management system by itself however, cannot deliver the sheer volume of information available in the world today- not even on a national level. The good news is that the use of a practice management system in conjunction with utilization of an EMR database is possible. Most practice management softwares are-or can be, with a little engineering- compatible with EMR systems in general, greatly benefitting not just the practice, but the patient also.
The absolute mobility of information available when using an EMR system has the potential of making everyone’s job easier and the information they’re producing more tangible and reliable- both in the short term, and in the long run. Information from the patient to the medical staff to the doctor, then to the pharmacist and his/her technicians, to the patient. When the need is static accuracy and wealth of knowledge for the benefit of the patient (most important), EMR can deliver this for the benefit of everyone involved.

ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS FROM HEALTHTEC SOFTWARE

2010-03-23T10:56:00.000-07:00

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 17, 2010
ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS FROM HEALTHTEC SOFTWARE
The trend of keeping electronic medical records has been fairly slow in catching on due to somewhat high costs of the fairly new systems. However, as will happen with time, there are systems available today which are actually very affordable, especially when one dedicates hard consideration to the positives of using such a system of medical records-keeping.
How often does it happen in your practice that health care claims are denied, only to result in the loss of money to the practice and the patient? Often times when claims are denied, the patient simply cannot pay and so the practice loses money and the patient loses potentially critical care. Even when a procedure has not yet been done, the practice loses the future financials of the case already in progress and most definitely loses in terms of time spent by the staff in handling the denial. This is just one highlight in the list of reasons to cross over to electronic medical records, or EMR.
Maybe it’s time to take advantage of a system which will inspect your claims before they leave the office, validating the information input for accuracy and viability. This ensures that contracts between insurance payors and the practice are honored and the patient receives the benefits they have coming to them. Maybe it’s time to secure you own future by ensuring there are no human errors in the record-keeping of your practice, which can result in ill-prescribed medications or procedures and puts your patients- and your practice- at risk.
Electronic medical records systems generally come with tutoring, or continuing education courses tailored to the needs of your practice. Whether you are installing a new system or upgrading your current system, continuing education can help you and your staff to bridge any gap of knowledge, naturally increasing your dedication to the system. Provided education is also helpful when you add new staff members and don’t want to dedicate valuable office time to full system training.
More and more offices are taking advantage of the wide array of benefits that come with a dedicated software program which will integrate with their own particular way of doing business, and also integrate with electronic medical records world-wide. Custom programming is available to enable you to tailor your electronic medical records to the needs of your practice. Never again need you be concerned that investment in an EMR system may pigeonhole you into a way of records-keeping that you’re either unaccustomed to or which only partially works for you. These programs are tailored to your needs, and increased affordability offers you the opportunity to get current and become involved in the future of medical care.

Anyone who has worked with insurance companies knows that once a claim has been denied, it is very difficult to have it go through on the second round. EMR software allows claims to be processed electronically. Claims are scanned for errors, or scrubbed, before they ever leave the system. When claims are sent to clearing houses, it takes literally minutes to learn whether or not a claim has been accepted or rejected. That's quite a reduction from the weeks it takes for paper processing to be completed. EMR claims result in faster reimbursements by insurance companies and drastically increases reimbursement rates. Because of these time saving benefits, most offices become more productive and streamlined and paperwork is reduced, saving space and money while increasing accuracy. Electronic Medical Records

With EMR services, if a claim is denied for some reason appeal letters are automatically generated. Some services, such as MedAppeal, will even monitor insurance payer behavior after claims leave your system. The software identifies fee schedule underpayments, misuse of clinical edits and late payments without penalties or interest. High end software service packages even include actual labor to help monitor and work receivables of qualifying insurance carriers. Legal services can be provided by attorneys to bring about resolution to practices according to law when contracts between the practice and insurance payors have been violated.

Benefits, such as eServices, where customer service agents help resolve issues with medical practices make getting the help you need easier. Because every practice is different, software can be custom programmed. Third party software integrations also make reading medical files easier and make caring for patients more accurate and safe. Some programs even alert providers when a patient has an allergy or a dangerous drug interaction could occur by prescribing a certain combination of medications.

The Benefits of Electronic Claims Processing with EMR

2010-03-17T14:12:00.001-07:00

Electronic claims processing is the way of the future for medical offices. Paper billing processing is time consuming and expensive. The days of paper billing are numbered. With electronic medical record software, electronic claims processing makes receiving payments faster, and billing easier and more accurate.

The Benefits of Electronic Claims Processing with EMR

Electronic claims processing is a method of sending claims to insurance carriers electronically rather than by paper. Health care providers often use electronic medical records, or EMR, to generate billing invoices automatically. Electronic claims processing is just one of the many benefits of EMR software and service packages.
Using an electronic data interchange, or EDI, electronic claims are sent using an internet connection. Claims can be sent to insurance carriers directly or to a clearing house where bills are processed. Clearing houses send claims to several insurance carriers for you, saving you time and money on man hours. Larger insurance carriers, such as Medicare, Medicaid and BC&BS have created direct claims services. There are many benefits to electronic claims processing.

EMR software error checks invoices. Without error checking, electronic claims sent to clearing houses are checked for errors and immediately rejected if there are data entry mistakes, missing information, invalid information, etc. In most cases paper claims are processed once. After the first rejection, the claim is rejected totally. Electronic claims processing scrubs the entire claim file and alerts you of errors that would cause a claim to be rejected. It is then easily fixed so claims can be streamlined through clearing houses.

Because paper claims take days to reach the payer, electronic claims processing speeds reimbursement. Most carriers delay paper claim payments, with Medicare delaying payments for a minimum of 28 days on paper claims. Electronic claims processing cuts that down to 14 days, and since claims are scrubbed before leaving the office, delays are cut back dramatically. Rejections can be resolved in minutes rather than weeks.

Because electronic claims processing allows much more information to be provided to the insurance carrier, claims are rejected less often. Payers have less overhead costs with electronic claims, which make them much more likely to process claims quickly. Insurance companies appreciate electronic claims.

EMR software helps clinics and hospitals increase productivity in their business office. Because the software verifies the billing is correct, eliminates the need to print labels, bills, etc. offices are spared hours of wasted time. With electronic claims bills are sent directly to insurance companies or clearing houses, where you can find out in seconds whether or not a claim was accepted or denied, and why.

Electronic Medical Records (EMR): Medical Practice Management Made Easier

EMR makes claims processing by insurance companies easier. It also helps practitioners manage claims denials by insurance companies: a growing problem that will not be reduced until reforms are in place. Electronic Medical Records enables doctors and nurses to increase the safety of their work for their patients. Due to automated drug and allergy interaction checks, EMR makes prescribing drugs easier and less complicated. Prescription records are at the practitioners' fingertips, as well as lab results and clinical notes.

EMR also has added features for scheduling and accounting. Claims service software scrubs claims before they leave your system. Certain programs use millions of payor specific payment rules to identify fee schedule underpayments, misuse of clinical edits and late payments. Some service packages will even automatically generate appeal letters and make management reports online. Top of the line service packages come with legal services through attorneys in order to resolve contract issues between insurance companies and health care providers according to the law.

The Importance of Electronic Medical Records

2009-12-14T19:12:00.001-08:00

The traditional hospital setting would include nurses and physicians carrying the conventional paper-based charts wherein the patient’s information will be seen in that bunch of papers. These charts are very important since this is where healthcare physicians write their orders, and this is also where nurses write their patient’s progress.

Through the years, advancements in technology had already occurred and the conventional papers had been replaced with Electronic Medical Records. These records are basically computer based. Since electronic medical records were invented and developed, there had been a noticeable drop in medical malpractices. As a matter of fact, some studies showed that medical malpractices were caused by not properly understanding the handwriting of physicians and some other nurses as well – an unintentional mistake if I should say.

Since everything is going to be computerized, there is no way that healthcare professionals would not understand the orders and information that has been indicated on the records.

With just a click of a mouse and some buttons on the keyboard, healthcare professionals including nurses and doctors can easily access the patient’s chart as fast as possible.

Instead of doing the charting manually, which takes a lot of time, healthcare professionals can delegate most of their time in providing quality health care to their patients. This has been scientifically proven already. Some tests were conducted in the United States of America, and it has been shown that patients were a lot more satisfied with the kind of care that they have received from hospitals who use electronic medical records from hospitals and healthcare professionals that who doesn’t.

Data and other important information are backed up just in case something unexpected might happen. However, be cautious in choosing which software to use. There are some, that doesn’t have back-up storage – that may cause a lot of problem in the near future. Information from patients is very important and without these, the hospital may be at great loss. It is important that before you decide on which software to use, you have to ask the manufacturer what kind of database system that they use, and if the package would include backing up of data and information.

The patient’s charts are the most important documents and the most confidential files that should be kept in any medical field.

EMR – Healthtec Software

2009-11-11T05:57:00.001-08:00

EMR – Healthtec Software
EMR or Electronic Medical record is a computerized legal medical record that is generated in an organization dealing in providing care such as hospitals. This is a part of a stand-alone system capable of storage, retrieval and manipulation of records.
According to a recent survey in United States, only a few physicians use the EMR system. It is to be noted here that the EMR used by them is partial. Only a fraction of physicians have a complete EMR system that requires four functions:
• Computerized order for prescriptions
• Computerized order for tests
• Reporting of test results
• Physician notes
EMR should always be kept unaltered. This can be achieved by proper authentication by the creator of the system. The creator (Physician) or the custodian of the record of the health care practice or facility is bound by legislation to be responsible for the patient’s record. These records or the physical medical records are the sole property of the medical facility that prepares it. These may include but is not limited to X-ray, CT, PET, MRI, Ultrasound etc. According to the HIPAA standards, the patient possesses every right to access the information, view the originals and obtain the original copies under the law.
According to the National and International standards, electronic signatures are legal and accepted. Whenever an EMR is used to read and write a patient’s record, it doesn’t rely only on the capabilities of the workstation. The system also depends on the type of system and health care settings. This may be possible through mobile devices with handwriting capabilities as well.
Many EMR systems monitor the medical events automatically. This is done by analyzing the patient’s data to predict, detect and prevent any adverse actions. Such a procedure would also include discharge/transfer orders, pharmacy orders, radiology results, laboratory results and any other necessary and critical provider notes.
In the EMR system, privacy is a huge concern for a patient. The physician or the provider can access to the patient’s records during hospitalization, payers, providers as well as the billing data associated with them. The PHI or the Protected Health Information in United States is addressed by the HIPAA or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. This confers with local as well as International laws. There are stringent laws associated with the movement of such sensitive data including that of health care.

A few of the standards used for EMR system today are:-
• XML - Document format with interpretability
• HL7 - Format for interchange between different record systems and practice management
• ANSI X12 (EDI) - Transaction protocols used for transmitting virtually all the aspect of patient data. This is prominent in United States.
• CEN - CONTSYS (EN 13940), Supports continuity of care
• CEN - EHR (EN 13606), Standard for the communication of information
• CEN - HISA (EN 12967), Standard for inter-system communication in a clinical information environment.
• DICOM - Standard for communicating radiology images
The EMR system has made things simpler for both physicians and patients in today’s medical field. Please visit http://www.healthtec-software.com/emr.htm for more information.

Electronic Medical Records

2009-11-11T05:55:00.001-08:00

Electronic Medical Records
Electronic Medical records are medical records that are generated by organizations such as hospitals that specialize in providing care. These records are legal and computerized. The records are a part of a stand-alone system that has record storage, retrieval and manipulation capabilities.
A recent survey done in the United States stated the fact that only a few physicians use the Electronic Medical Records system. Additionally, what they use is just a partial Electronic medical records system. A full records system facilitates and requires four major functions:
• Computerized order for prescriptions
• Computerized order for tests
• Reporting of test results
• Physician notes
Electronic medical records have sensitive information thus, they must be kept unaltered. A proper secured authentication method can help in protecting the sensitive data. This can be enabled by the creator/administrator of the system. The physician can be the creator or the custodian of the record system and he/she is bound by the legislation to protect the patient’s record. The medical property that prepares these records has the sole ownership of such medical records. Some of these may include X-ray, CT, PET, MRI, Ultrasound etc. The HIPAA standards state that a patient has every right to access the information (medical records), view them and obtain the originals under the law.
The National and International standards approve the legal nature of electronic signatures and accept it. Electronic media records don’t solely depend on the capabilities of the workstation itself. There are other factors involved such as the type of system and health care settings. The dependence may be associated with mobile devices that have handwriting capabilities.
Electronic media records systems automatically monitor the medical events related to a patient. This is achieved by analyzing the patient’s data that is used for detection, prediction and prevention of any adverse effects. Other things included in the procedure are discharge/transfer orders, pharmacy orders, radiology results, laboratory results and any other necessary and critical provider notes.
Privacy is a critical concern for a patient in Electronic media records. This is so, because the records of the patient can be accessed anytime by the physician or the provider. This relates to the records generated during hospitalization, payers, providers as well as the billing data related to the patient. The Protected Health Information (PHI) in the United States is addressed by the HIPAA or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. This is applicable both locally as well as internationally. The laws on record maintenance are stringent particularly those associated with sensitive data.
A few of the standards used for Electronic Medical Records system today are:-
• XML - Document format with interpretability
• HL7 - Format for interchange between different record systems and practice management

Medical Billing Software

2009-11-11T05:53:00.001-08:00

Medical Billing Software
Medical billing software is computer software that caters to enhance the medical billing process. For any medical organization or facility, medical billing can be a tedious process. It is extremely complex and more so when the medical facility is taking care of the billing formalities and processes for multiple insurance companies. This is made even more tedious if government agencies, private consumers are involved as they require a different billing procedure altogether. Additionally, medical billing software is capable of tracking payments. It furthers the process of tracking the overall patient and facility trends that can provide assistance to the facility, patients, and other involved bodies in numerous ways.
The vendors or the companies that design the medical billing software customize it to work on a standardized framework. For instance, they may work on the framework catering to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD). Such a framework is utilized in the creation of a series of codes that can be entered into the software. This can be used to describe the treatments, conditions, alternatives etc. It is imminent for the medical expert or the care provider to know the codes for multiple procedures or treatments. These codes can also be integrated into the paperwork that is used by the organization or the medical facility. This helps in providing convenience of the people who take care of the billing processes in the billing department.
Once the medical billing software is used for any patient record, the patient’s previous medical history can be entered into it. Additionally, the operator can also feed in the outstanding unpaid charges in the system. The software can be given a command to generate bills for the patient, insurance companies, employers and other people who are associated with the billing process and would pay for the patient’s bills. Generally, insurance companies have a different code that is changed on a regular basis. Therefore, the medical billing software needs to be updated periodically to get the latest information. The software can automatically updates the changes by converting them from standardized codes used in general to the insurance specific codes used by them for billing.
Medical billing software is highly specialized in each of its functions and the way it is designed to work. Just like accounting software, medical billing software also maintains records on the patients, their payment history and anything extra or special that had to be arranged for them. This is essential because the medical facility would not have to work hard the next time in case the same patient arrives. The software is also made to be secure and confidential as there are many concerns associated with the privacy of patient records. The medical billers are at times given special training laying emphasis on patient confidentiality to ensure that the movement of the sensitive data is done with responsibility and effectiveness.
Medical Billing software suites can be expensive at times however; they provide a streamlined billing cycle in the facility. Without it, the chances of errors and paper work increases thus reducing efficiency.

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

2009-10-24T09:54:00.001-07:00

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. You just have to have faith on the managerial tool and make necessary adjustment to maximize its working potential.

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

2009-10-24T09:53:00.000-07:00

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.

EMR Incorporates Patient Portals

San Antonio, Texas, September 19, 2009 – As the healthcare industry changes its gear to Electronic Medical Records (EMR), a lot of practices are asking about how patient portals work. HealthTec’s EMR allows easy access to patient’s data, services, and contents that typically provides communication services between the patients and the healthcare providers. HealthTec allows the patients to gain access to their medical information through a web connection with the use of a secured username and password.

The patients can log into the portal systems of the EMR to check for their appointment schedules, to schedule an appointment for clinic visits, to check for their laboratory findings, to check for their statement of accounts, or to request for a refill of prescription. Healthcare providers are also given the privilege to be in touch with their own patients and send messages such as reminders for check-up, laboratory results and statements as well as send important information regarding the patient’s medical records to other physicians who are attending the patient.

“HealthTec’s EMR is Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act compliant to make certain that all of the patient’s medical information are secured and are disclosed only for medical and legal purposes within the network of direct providers of care,” Said Vance Nelson, President of HealthTec software, Inc. Confidentiality of the doctors’ and nurses’ notes remains intact and is not shared with the patient. The physician has the right to choose which information regarding the patient’s medical records is to be shared with the patient.

The EMR also enables continuity of care given by the physicians coming from different fields of specialty at different locations. Because the patient’s files are easily accessed, doctors can view what medication was prescribed or what diagnostic test was ordered by the other attending physician. In that way, the likelihood of doubling the medication dosage and laboratory and diagnostic requests are avoided.

It’s not only the physician and patients who will enjoy the benefits of the EMR but the administrative and business office staffs too. They don’t have to wait for the patients to fill in necessary information on the data sheet since patients can do this at the luxury of their own home and that all pertinent information are made ready prior to their scheduled visit or hospitalization.

As more and more consumers are demanding automation of almost all aspect of their lives especially those that involve data storage, medical billing and medical records, healthcare providers and medical practitioners are switching o from the conventional paper-based medical records as they aim to provide quality patient care and render premium customer services to their clients.

Quality Medical Billing Software Offers a Bunch of Benefits

The medical billing software is a filling system that which is tailored to cater the demands of the medical billing processes. The medical billing process can be considered Byzantine and knotty and requires a lot of work especially if the healthcare or medical facility manages diverse insurance companies including some agencies coming from the government and private sectors each of which requires a separate and distinct processing of the medical billing. Aside from the software’s purpose to generate bill, the medical billing software is also intended to apprehend payments made by the patients as well as their overall progress.

The healthcare providers and the hospital administrators nowadays are demanding for better solutions to their practice management such as the need to increase efficiency in work in providing high quality service to their patients and clients and at the same time cut costs. This is the reason why thousands of physicians and numerous medical facilities are switching to the medical billing software considering the needs of today’s healthcare office administration. With that, companies that create medical practice management software systems have generally tailored the medical billing software to function as a systematic and standardized fabric equipped with the principles of the International Statistical Classification of Disease and Related Health Problems.

The edifice of the medical billing software is customized with glossary of codes that describe a patient’s condition, type of treatments received, payments and other pertinent data regarding the patient’s medical billing needs. Healthcare providers are required to know these codes by heart to maximize the benefits that the software has to offer. Once the medical billing software is integrated into the medical facility’s system, all of the patients’ records can now be entered in including their past medical history and medical billing charges that are not yet paid or have been paid. What’s good about the medical billing software is that it can be ordered to generate charges for the patient, healthcare providers, insurance companies or to anybody who is responsible for the payment of the patient’s medical bills.

The medical billing software has to be periodically updated to subsequently cope with the insurance companies’ code changes and to be able to get a hold on the latest information regarding their processes. Updating the software means that the usual codes used in the billing office of the medical facility should be changed and tailored to the codes that the insurance companies are using in their billing and accounting operations.

The medical billing software is a vital form of accounting software as it controls and preserves patient’s records including the payments he has made. When it comes to confidentiality, the medical billing software is also designed not to disclose any medical or billing information of the patient. The procurement and integration of the medical billing software into the healthcare system requires a lot of money and preparation. However, inspite the high cost of it, many medical practitioners and office administrations have found the software to be vital in their operations. With the medical billing software, medical practitioners and administrative clerks would no longer have to handle patient’s files by hand and billing errors are less likely to occur plus the fact that more time is spent to quality patient care.

3 Common Causes of Staff’s Resistance to the Integration of Electronic Medical Records Software in the Healthcare Setting

3 Common Causes of Staff’s Resistance to the Integration of Electronic Medical Records Software in the Healthcare Setting

The integration of electronic medical records software is supposed to be the advent of a more efficient and productive medical practice. As one of President Barack Obama’s campaign for the reformation of healthcare is the integration of the Electronic Medical Records software into the healthcare delivery system all over the country. This means full automation of medical practice and letting go of the traditional austere paper-based medical records. However, it seems that not all are ready to embrace the incorporation of the electronic medical records software into the healthcare delivery system. There are a lot of factors as to why some of the institution’s staff are resistant to the EMR and these factors can be narrowed down into 3 common factors.

First is the personality behavior issue, the staff’s aversion and insolence towards the EMR. They think that they know more about their patients and how they should carryout their duties and responsibilities and perform their functions than the electronic medical records. Sad to say but, there are other things that the electronic medial records know than your staff. For example; nowadays, a lot of pharmaceutical industries have sprouted from all over the globe and each of these pharmaceutical companies manufacture different drugs. Sometimes, it takes a while before these drugs are listed in the drug handbooks including their potential drug reactions, interactions as well as adverse effects. With electronic medical records software, an up to date drug database is made available to be used as reference by the prescribing physicians and medication nurses. Bottom line is, not all the time these so-called “the best staffs” are on top of the game. They should also learn how to accept change and deal with that change.

Another factor that affects the staff’s acceptance for the electronic medical records is their inability to comprehend as to how the EMR works and their lack of knowledge regarding the many benefits that it has to offer the institution. It is true that the concept of EMR is new to almost everybody who is involved in the care of the patient. However, electronic medical records software can be learned in a variety of ways. The internet is one resource that your staff can use to know more as to how the software works including its wide array of benefits. As a matter of fact, some of the most beneficial advantages of the integration of the electronic medical records into the healthcare network are the provision of optimum patient care and efficiency in work.

The third factor that causes the resistance to EMR is that your staff views the software as a threat. They try to protect their own interest instead of aiming for the success of the project. There are various reasons as to why such negative behavior exists. It could be that they’d rather stick to what they are used to doing rather than try out on something new. It could also be that they feel that their old ways are much more comfortable and that they wouldn’t want to start anew. Or it could be that they are afraid that the new technology would replace them and so they wouldn’t want to risk losing their jobs. The only way to deal with this problem is to communicate with them. Explain to your staff that there is nothing that they can do about the change but to embrace it. As what President Obama mentioned in one of his healthcare campaigns, the US government’s goal in 5 years time is to fully automate all healthcare institutions.

Stop the arrogance, there’s more to electronic medical records than what you think. Enough with the ignorance, it’s never too late to learn about EMR. Cease the turf protection, the electronic medical records software is meant to ease up the workflow of medical practice, not to replace you.

Preparing Your Staff for the EMR

2009-09-23T06:37:00.000-07:00

Preparing Your Staff for the EMR

In today’s world, more and more healthcare facilities are embracing the integration of EMR in their system. Other than it is an efficient way to handle patient’s medical records and income generating the electronic medical records is also a way to deliver prompt and quality patient care. However, despite the diminution of EMR to the workload of medical practice, controversies such as the high cost of EMR and the impact of EMR to the institutions’ staffs still remains.

It is undeniable that transitioning from the paper-based Medical Records to Electronic Medical Records (EMR) System is a very challenging move to make. Perhaps the implementation of EMR in the healthcare setting, may it be in the hospitals or clinics and healthcare facilities could have a gargantuan effect on its staff. It’ll take time for them to adjust as to how the EMRs work. So how can an institution prepare its staff for the big transition?

The key to an effective implementation of EMR in the healthcare setting is to circumspectly plan for it. What should be included in the planning is how much will the institution be spending for the complete transition. It is always a fact that the electronic medical records software is a very expensive file management system and requires a big sum of funds if the institution is planning for an all-out transition. By total transition, it means that medical records made of paper are to be eradicated and transferred into the computer systems. This calls for the procurement of more computers ranging from different types such as personal digital computers, tablet PC or handheld types.

Another way to successful transition is to address future problems of the staffs. The integration of EMR doesn’t only call for the conversion of paper-based records to computers but for role modifications as well. The institution’s staffs must be ready for function changes as well as how the EMR system works. It is vital for the main players of the healthcare system, in that case, the physicians, nurses, administration and business office to be prepared. Forming a committee manned by somebody who is knowledgeable about how the institution runs and committed to the project is a good place to start.

It is also required that a methodical argument as to the need of the modification should be made ready as this is what most would ask. The most appropriate thing to do is have a mission and vision statement that states the importance of the transition from paper-based medical records to EMR. Pilot testing the EMR is also one way to prepare your staff for the transition. The best move to make is to assign a group of personnel coming from different departments – physicians, ancillary, nursing, administration, and business office – and do hands-on on the EMR and teach it to their colleagues.

Take into consideration the cultural diversities. Not all members of the healthcare system are adept with computers, emails, and other advanced and complicated programs inspite the advent of the computer age. Have these people work and train on the EMR system more than those who are computer enthusiasts.
A lot of failures in the EMR system are results of poor planning, lack of knowledge as to how the system should work and be handled, as well as the inability of he main player to present and defend the case as to why there is a need for transition. Bottom line is, it takes a lot of time to plan for the integration of the EMR system before it is actually installed into the institution. However, despite all of these, in the long run the EMR system offers ore benefits than the conventional paper-based medical records.

HEALTHTEC SOFTWARE INTEGRATES EMR IN THE HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM

San Antonio, Texas – Recently, HealthTec Software has made another breakthrough as it integrates EMR in the healthcare delivery system. HealthTec’s EMR is designed to mitigate the toils of the healthcare providers – physicians, nurses and hospital administrators for a more patient-centered delivery of care.

The EMR or Electronic Medical Records was innovated by Healthtec Software to provide a more improved quality of care to the patients in contrast to the conventional, old-fashioned and cumbersome paper-based medical records. EMR allows interoperability among the primary care providers of the patient through quick access to the patient’s medical records. The patient’s medical records contain all valuable information about the patient such as histories of admissions, allergies, previous treatment received by the patient and drugs. EMR’s interoperability is not only limited to the same facility where the patient is previously admitted; it can be transferred to another facility where the patient would want to be taken cared of next, thus allowing care to be delivered in a timely manner.

"HealthTec is committed to providing an online time and attendance software solution to users that is full-featured, customizable and scalable, yet user friendly," said Vance Nelson, President of HealthTec Software, which is what HealthTec’s EMR is all about. It is easy to use software that contains all necessary features needed in the optimum functioning of the health care delivery system – hospitals, health clinic or facilities in order to provide patients with a gratifying hospital stay.

HealthTec’s EMR is designed to provide a quality of care that is improved and patient-oriented where continuity of communication is enabled. The EMR is equipped with alerts and reminders that are unique in every patient’s case based on the patient’s medical records – allergies to drugs, for example. This in turn, allows uninterrupted communication among the healthcare team as to what the treatment the patient has received and which treatment failed or contraindicated. With continued communication, redundancy is minimized and quality care is maximized.

EMR is does not only caters the physicians and nurses and other members of the healthcare team but targets the patients, who are the main focus of concern. Although medical records are the property of the healthcare facility or hospitals, patients can still access their health records as to what treatment they have received during their admission. Scheduling of the patient with an EMR is made easy, whether the patient is just a walk in or for admission.

EMR is a technology designed by HealthTec to make the lives of those involved in healthcare more vigorous and fully functional. EMR is not just a product, but the heart and soul of the company. It is HealthTec’s passion and focus to make healthcare the best as it can be.electronic medical records

With the medical billing software installed, the biller is able to access various accounts receivables reports if there is a need to open or access patient information, re-bill or gain entry to health insurance data. These features offered by the medical billing software are will double the facilities’ revenues by cutting down almost half of the time spent by the staffs in contacting insurance companies and locating patients’ files.

Transitioning To EMR – Is It Worth It?

2009-08-28T08:20:00.000-07:00

A lot of healthcare providers in the US healthcare industry as well as in the government are now familiar with EMR or electronic medical records. EMR is a computerized edition of the traditional paper-based medical record of a patient. The EMR should not be confused or interchanged with EHR as both have different entity and coverage. However, both technologies should coexist as they are dependent on each other. The EMR is a software that is composed of clinical data storage area, medical decision making backing, medical terminologies, pharmacy applications, and medical documentation applications that are used by the healthcare providers and medical practitioners in monitoring, documenting, and managing and in delivering care to the patient.

The integration of EMR in the healthcare delivery setting offers a wide array of advantages usually outweighing the cons. One can’t deny how pricey EMRs could get; however, if quality atient care is the concern, purchasing an EMR is but the right thing to do. So why make the transition to EMR?

One good reason to make the shift from conventional medical records to EMR is that it saves a great amount of space. Instead of consuming the whole floor for the storage of patients’ medical records, all records are now kept inside the main computer’s memory. Together with the saved space, there’s also a reduction in the amount of paper used in writing doctor’s orders, documentation, lab results and history taking. It’s not only the hospitals that can benefit with the EMR but also the doctor’s clinics and health insurance companies that handle the patients’ medical claims.

Inter-operability or the ability for all members of the healthcare team who are involved in the management of the patient to coordinate is another advantage of EMR. Healthcare providers who are well-coordinated have less room for redundancy in laboratory testing, drug prescriptions and rendered care as well as prevent the occurrence of medical errors. It’s not only the primary care providers who will benefit from the EMR but also the patients, who are after all the focus of care. EMR also prevents the patient’s specialists from giving contradicting and advises and medical regimen since his medical records are accessed by anyone involved in his care.

Aside from saving space, EMR also saves time. Doctors and nurses can now have instant access to all of the patient’s medical records including his laboratory test results, x-rays, past and present medical histories including drug allergies. Once files are easily accessed the concerned healthcare provider can act right away. EMR is very helpful during patient referrals to other departments, for example: medicine to surgical referral and in urgent situations where the patient is unable to answer questions in cases like unconsciousness or severe injury.

Legibility of patient record is another advantage given by interfacing EMR in the healthcare setting. Oftentimes, nurses complain of undecipherable handwritings of the physicians. Typos can cause errors such as medication errors because of misinterpretation. EMRs onscreen and printed texts are more legible. Loss of data is also avoided with EMR being integrated in the system. All of EMR technologies have back up and recovery systems that automatically stores all of the patient’s data in cases here there is a system malfunction or compromise.

Inspite the common concerns of some people regarding breach of confidentiality, EMR is HIPAA compliant. This means that all of the patient’s medical records are only disclosed and made available or restricted within those who are directly involved in his care. EMRs are always up to date and are also based on the physician’s and patient’s needs.

Nowadays, more and more hospitals in the US and some parts of the globe are starting to integrate EMR in their heath care delivery setting for ease of work flow, time management and optimum patient care.

ONLINE BILLING SERVICE SAVES TIME AND MONEY

HealthTec, a leader in Medical Practice and Management Software and services, has added an on-line billing module to their distinguished line of products. The physician’s office uploads the data and HealthTec does the rest. But unlike most electronic statement services, HealthTec’s Patient Statement module allows the physician’s office to stay in control of the process by being able to visually review each statement before it is printed. In this way the user can either approve or deny a statement on an individual basis. Conversely, the entire batch can be sent off with the click of a mouse. An added feature of HealthTec’s Patient Statement module allows for an image of each statement to be retained on-line for immediate viewing for 90 days. This on-line billing and management software can be used as an integrated part of the HealthTec family of products as well as with other medical practice management systems.

HealthTec’s On-line billing software will save time and money for physicians by eliminating printing, folding, stuffing, sealing, metering and mailing statements. It is also designed with a number of graphic capabilities and advance features that make processing statements and troubleshooting for errors and omissions much less of a chore. Statements are completely customizable. Each statement contains blocks for payment summary information, processing bar codes to assure 100% delivery accuracy, service messages, prompts to indicate changes in billing information, account summary, statement aging and a billing statement area allowing up to nine different columns. The forms are also pre-perforated for easy separation and come in a variety of colors. The software also allows for the review and printing of 12 months worth of statements.

HealthTec understands the need for health service providers to improve cash flow. Therefore they have designed entire process to be efficient and practical. The service also includes an option for address updating through NCOAlink. Through NCOAlink the USPS National Customer Support Center makes change-of-address information available to mailers in order to help reduce undeliverable mailpieces before they enter the mailstream.

Having the billing statement information available on-line makes sense, especially when viewed in concert with HealthTec full line of products and services. By adding the Patient Statement module to HealthTec’s Fusion - a fully integrated software solution for health service providers providing electronic health records, scheduling and practice management – the savings and streamlining of back-office work is immediate and undeniable.

And when you factor the cost of maintaining supplies against the HealthTec’s service fees, the advantage of on-line billing makes sense even for smaller medical practices. Medical Billing Software

How Electronic Medical Records is a Diminution to the Complexity of Nursing

2009-07-18T09:16:00.000-07:00

How Electronic Medical Records is a Diminution to the Complexity of Nursing

Nurses are said to be the eye of the doctor’s and the voice of the patients. They are the doctor’s eyes because they come in close contact with the patients most of the time. They are able to assess the patients’ condition and their response to the treatment either they’re improving or not in a daily basis. The nurses’ relentless interaction with their patients enables them to hear their patients’ complaints of pain, difficulty in sleeping or any other discomforts. Nursing is a complex profession because it does not only deal with the patients but with the doctors and patient’s relatives as well. Other than the direct bedside nursing care, a nurse’s job also describes their responsibility in the documentation of medications, nurse’s notes and in implementing the doctor’s orders. But how can a nurse be able to focus on taking care of her patient when her 8 or 12 hours of shift must be divided in charting and transcribing the ordered medication to the therapeutic sheets, and in carrying out the doctor’s orders? It’s a good thing that the American hospitals nowadays have the audacity to assimilate Electronic Medical Records in the system as this does not only benefit the physicians, but also the nurses who are the primary caregivers of the patients.

The Electronic Medical Records that HealthTec innovated benefits the nurses in so many ways in terms of documentation, time management, patient care, medication, charting and transcribing doctor’s orders.

One can’t deny the fact that there are some physicians who writes illegibly which is a waterloo to most nurses. So much time is wasted in deciphering the handwriting of the doctor or in locating the ordering physician just to confirm the written order. Now, with the aid of the handwriting translation tool that the Electronic Medical Records bring, nurses are able to carryout the doctor’s orders without having to decipher it. This also decreases the possibility of misinterpreting the Resident’s notes, which is most likely the common cause of errors in nursing.

When it comes to giving of medications, the likeliness of committing medication errors is reduced because Electronic medical records works in combination with another important tool called the electronic medical administration records where in the dosage of the drug, the time and date of administering the medication and even drug allergies or even the occurrence of possible drug-to-drug or drug-to-food interactions are prompted.

The nursing dogma clearly states that any care not documented is care not done. That’s the importance of proper documentation. Electronic medical records is able to incorporate this clinical component in the system, as this allows nurses to properly document the care rendered to the patients as well as the complaints made by them. The electronic medical records is so sophisticated and patient care oriented that it has prompts and alerts responding to the patient’s complaints, thus stimulating the nurses to make further assessments and do necessary nursing actions and proper documentation.

HealthTec Fusion offers nurses the state of the art customizable Electronic Medical Records software in a touch screen tablet PC that is equipped with an uncomplicated edge that enables decipherable handwritings and proper documentations. Now, instead of wasting time in doing paper works, nurses can perform their primary role as care givers in promoting patient’s health and alleviating their sickness.

EMR: Improving Patient Care

2009-07-17T06:48:00.000-07:00

EMR: Improving Patient Care

Electronic Medical Record (EMR) was innovated by Healthtec Fusion to manage and ease up the hustle and bustle and the encumbrance that the conventional medical records bring. Just think about how computers tend to make our loves a lot easier. Same is true to EMR. It makes the lives of those who are involved in the care of the patient – physicians, nurses, and hospital office clerks a lot easier. This saves them time and prevents them from being interrupted from their work. EMR does not only save time, but it also generates income. Just think about the number of people that the hospital administrative clerk could cater if his or her work is not interrupted by going about the rubles of the old fashioned paper-based medical records. The more people they serve the more income the hospital gets.
One purpose of the EMR is the interoperability or the ability to quickly access and exchange patient information such as laboratory test results and past medical histories such as allergies, diagnoses and medications taken from physician to physician or other members of the healthcare team or from hospital to hospital which is necessary in ameliorating the caregivers’ ability in making unassailable decisions in carrying out a care that is conveniently patient-centered and in a timely manner.
EMR also manages how the doctors’ orders are implemented such as prescriptions for medications, lab tests and other services by entering and storing them in a computerized scheme, thus leaving less room for repetition and improves the speed of how the orders are carried out.
The continuity of communication among healthcare providers is also made possible by the EMR through computerized decision-support. A communication that’s efficiently, safely and easily accessed and shared among the providers allows room for improvement of the continuity of patient care with the use of prompts and reminders, thereby enabling them to formulate diagnoses and implement plan of care and treatments suited for the patient’s case without delays.
Every patient has the right to know every single detail about their health. EMR offers patient support by giving the patient the liberty to access his or her health archives. It also provides the patient with who has a chronic condition with home instructions like self-monitoring of blood pressure and self-testing of blood glucose levels for the purpose of continuity of care until the patient is discharged.
The computerized administrative means that the EMR offers such as scheduling and reporting systems, allows the hospitals and clinics to efficiently provide administrative support and services to the patients in a timely manner as it replaces the out-dated, incomplete, disintegrated, illegible and sometimes hard to find paper-based medical records with an updated, easily accessed source of information that has the potential for automation and modernization.
To sum it up, EMR is geared towards the provision of an improved patient care by means of a computerized legal document (including patient history, billing information, and medical transcription notes, lab results, and medications) that is secured and easily accessed and shared among the authorized healthcare providers in any venues which has the ability to incorporate the erraticism and intricacy of the prescribed medications, the diagnoses, and the plan of care.

WHY SHARED DECISION MAKING WORKS IN THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY

2009-06-22T14:58:00.001-07:00

WHY SHARED DECISION MAKING WORKS IN THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY

Shared Decision Making, as it relates to the healthcare industry, is a relatively new process that strives to bring patients and physicians to a higher level of understanding through third-party advocates. It relies on a variety of factors such as patient knowledge, treatment options and impartial advocacy. Care advocates who are able to guide participants in need of ongoing medical attention through the complexities of the ever-changing world of today’s healthcare system are generally experienced healthcare professionals. These Care Advocates offer their impartial, knowledgeable advice within the confines of the shared decision making process to facilitate meaningful dialogue and understanding between physicians and patients. The following reasons show why Shared Decision Making works when a patient is faced with significant healthcare choices.

Oftentimes patients are faced with medical situations that require them to make decisions regarding treatment that could affect their quality of life from that point on; Questions like: should an individual choose surgery instead of a more conservative approach through medication?

When a patient needs to make difficult healthcare decisions it is important to have an impartial, knowledgeable Care Advocate who can study the patient’s condition, value system and personal preferences and weigh them against the various options of treatment – sometimes options not even presented by the attending physician. Through shared decision making the patient will be advised so they will be able to understand if one course of treatment is better than another as it relates to their own particular situation.

Risk communication is an important aspect of any informed decision. Many times there are no clear-cut answers when addressing a specific treatment of a medical diagnosis. The hope is that physicians are aware of all options and present them to the patient. Ethical principles in the practice of medicine and related healthcare industries require patient consent before a physician or healthcare professional can begin treatment. Timing often plays a significant role in the decision-making process. However, many decisions regarding clinical treatment are judgment calls. A physician may not have the right information regarding the patient’s values, interests or care preferences to present alternative treatment options. It follows then, that if the physician does not adequately present the pros and cons of a prescribed course of treatment, because the above mentioned factors were not taken into consideration, a patient may make a wrong decision – a decision that could have been avoided through the process of Shared Decision Making.

In recent years the concept of Shared Decision Making has surfaced as an ideal model for enhanced healthcare treatment. When information is shared through an impartial Care Advocate the process of deciding on a specific course of action will result in treatment that takes into consideration evidence about treatment options, the pros and cons of each option and an informed decision that values a patient’s individual preferences. The process involves a sharing of information, consensus building and ultimately agreement on a course of treatment.

REDEFINING MEDICAL BILLING SOFTWARE

2009-06-22T14:56:00.001-07:00

REDEFINING MEDICAL BILLING SOFTWARE

Medical Billing Software has been a mainstay of the medical and dental industry for nearly 30 years. At first designed as a simple practice management system for doctors and dentists, this category of software has evolved to create powerful Medical Billing Software programs that function as valuable tools to enable a medical practice to navigate through all the various payment schemes available from private and government-backed insurance programs.

Choosing the right Medical Billing Software will resolve the challenges faced by medical practices - regardless of their size or patient load. But are all Medical Billing Software programs created equal? Does every program address issues such as fewer claim rejections, denials and underpayments? Is the software capable of handling the ever-changing codes used by various insurers? How does this software treat bills that go unpaid for long periods of time? And how does your Medical Billing Software interface with the dawning era of electronic storage of medical records. There are software programs that even integrate credit card payment options as a function of patient management. But there is more to running a successful medical practice than billing.

A new generation of Medical Billing Software has emerged that is integrating the three primary functions required by the medical and dental industry: Practice Management, Electronic Medical Records (EHR) and Scheduling. Traditionally, each area has been allocated its own stand-alone application, but by integrating all three patient-specific key functions into one Electronic Health Record system a new level of efficiency can be achieved. This is a sea change from the traditional paper-based record keeping systems used by so many medical practices in the past; and by using current technology upgrades issues like code revisions, rescheduling or underpayment will no longer negatively impact the efficiency of a medial office. Add-ons to the software system can include both assessments of various insurance paying patterns to detect underpayments and automatically generate appeals letters. And the innovations do not stop there.

Some companies, like HealthTec, offer more advanced software. Their Electronic Medical Records software, HealthTec EHR come pre-loaded with a unique graphic user interface with detailed templates to allow for detailed charting options; not to mention electronic prescriptions, drug-to-drug and drug to allergy interaction warnings, and even the ability to hand-write, type or dictate any note onto a patient’s chart and many more unique features.

Too often, medical practices are bogged down by the little things. Too much time gets spent on backroom stuff instead of patient care. With the right medical billing software solutions a medical practice can get back to its primary goal – resolving health issues for its patients. The more efficient the software, the easier it will be to make running a medical practice less of a hassle and a more profitable venture.
