|
| The industry switch to Electronic Medical Records has been nothing short of difficult. We understand the hesitancy of providers choosing to implement an EMR, however there is much value that these systems bring to a practice beyond stimulus payments. Our EMR+PM platforms were designed to help expedite all processes from patient visit to billing. By utilizing the tools built in to this state-of-the-art technology, providers will reap the monetary benefits of coding, documentation and billing. Also, unlike many vendors out there, ours is user friendly; see for yourself through a quick one-on-one demo with our experts now! | | Importance of using Professional Coders |  | Ability to guide custom template building | | | Subject matter specialists | | | Certified; Professional | | | Knowledge of coding guidelines | | | Ability to audit | | | CODING/DOCUMENTATION OPPORTUNITIES | | | As EMR usage increases so will the amount paid to each physician for E&M (Evaluation and Management) services. Vast majority of increased payments would be appropriate based on: - Medical necessity
- Documentation
- Current coding guidelines
| | | Coding impacts will come about with EMR implementation which could either provide a major ROI for physicians, or a lost opportunity - CMS estimates physician E&M “under-coding” rates in excess of several billions dollars per year
- EMR provides opportunity for improved documentation and increase coding levels
- Some estimates project $50,000 per physician, per year increase
| | | HOW WILL AN EMR AFFECT MY PRODUCTIVITY? | | | The #1 fear of physicians when it comes to EMR implementation is the impact on productivity
– A study conducted by the MGMA reported that: - 72% of physicians were satisfied with their system
- 26.5% of physicians reported an increase in productivity
- 30.6% of physicians reported a decrease in productivity
- 42.9% of physicians reported no change in productivity
| | | What do these numbers mean?
– There are many different factors that contribute to successful/unsuccessful EMR adoption within practices including, but not limited to: - Time spent learning/mastering EMR
- Cohesiveness of staff and implementation team
- Quality of training
- Detailing & executing a plan of action
- Overall quality of system
| | | HOW DO I KNOW I AM GOING THE RIGHT ROUTE? | | | It is imperative on both a productivity and financial level that you choose the technology partner that best fits your practice’s needs
– Identify the best system for you - SAAS “cloud” platform vs. Client servers
- Customization abilities
- “Meaningful Use” guaranteed
- System that fits your workflow rather than vice versa
