7 Ways To Automate Your Practice & Improve Productivity | Practice EHR

Automation

There's a lot of work that goes into running a medical practice. From scheduling to phone calls to seeing patients, there's most likely not a lot of downtime. For medical practices to operate smoothly, it truly takes a team effort and the right technology.

There are many ways to streamline operations and improve productivity by using automation. And it doesn't have to be costly or complicated. With the help of an electronic health record (EHR) practices can automate some of the daily processes that slow them down.

Here are four ways practices are automating their practice with Practice EHR:

  • Appointment Reminders - Appointment reminders eliminate the inefficiencies that come with calling every patient to remind them about their appointment. Most likely, you don’t get them on the first ring anyway and are leaving a voicemail. With appointment reminders, you can improve this whole process and remind patients about their appointment with an automated, customized message.

  • Eligibility Checks - Automated eligibility verification improves productivity for your front desk staff while saving your practice time and money. Automated eligibility allows you to verify patient coverage more efficiently, without having to call to verify by phone. Instead, the system will automatically pull a patient’s insurance status 24 hours before a scheduled appointment, freeing up your phone lines and your staff. 

 

  • Electronic Medical Record (EMR) - EMRs can help automate patient information and medical history recording. EMR can save time and reduce errors associated with manual record keeping. EMRs can also help improve patient care by providing healthcare providers with real-time access to patient information.


  • Claim Scrubbing - is a valuable tool for both physicians and billers. Utilizing an integrated clearinghouse is beneficial as it automatically checks codes for errors and warnings before submitting them for billing. This results in more accurate coding, increased confidence in the coding process, and less time spent on the phone with billers. Additionally, claim scrubbing helps to reduce denials and ensures that payments are processed quickly. Claim scrubbing is a win-win for healthcare practices, improving efficiency and profitability while providing high-quality patient care.

 

  • Reporting & Analytics - Practice software often includes reporting and analytics features that can provide valuable insights into your practice's performance. With this software, you can generate reports on metrics such as patient satisfaction, revenue, and appointment volumes. This information can help you make data-driven decisions to optimize your practice's operations, such as identifying areas where you may need to allocate more resources or adjust your services.

 

  • Integration with Other Systems - Practice software can be integrated with other systems, such as accounting software or patient portals, to streamline your workflow and improve efficiency. For example, integration with accounting software can help you manage billing and payment processing. In contrast, integration with a patient portal can allow your patients to access their health records and communicate with your practice online. This can help reduce administrative tasks for your staff and provide a better patient experience.

Running a medical practice can be hectic, with each team member juggling their daily responsibilities. But why should you sacrifice more time, productivity, and profitability than necessary? Luckily, there's a solution! An electronic health record (EHR) system can provide automation, making your work easier and more efficient. Imagine how much more you could accomplish if you had the right tools at your fingertips! So why wait?
