Highlights
The right speech and language therapy EMR streamlines every area of your practice, giving you more time to spend with your patients. The best EMR for speech-language therapy uses practice management features, automated billing and insurance, and customizable documentation and reporting to maximize efficiency for you and your staff.
ClinicSource is an all-in-one therapy EMR designed by a speech-language pathologist that checks all the boxes for EMR software for your practice.
If you are upgrading to an automated therapy practice management software, start by identifying features to look for that will solve your existing challenges. For example, if you currently use a manual method for scheduling patients, your practice may suffer due to no-shows when patients forget their appointments.
You might struggle to grow without automated billing, insurance, or simplified documentation. Without the right software, you may spend four or more hours on these administrative tasks and risk making costly billing and insurance errors.
When choosing a therapy EHR, look for a platform that offers the following features:
Having integrated scheduling features is crucial in today’s digital world. 58% of patients prefer online access to their providers, and 49% prefer online appointment scheduling. When shopping for a therapy EMR, choose a program that allows for integrated scheduling with online access.
Also, look for a speech and language EMR that uses color coding to let you see your practice’s schedule at a glance and move appointments around with drag-and-drop functionality. Finally, opt for software that syncs your schedule with Outlook, iCal, or Google Calendar and sends automated appointment reminders to patients.
Manual billing and insurance processing is time consuming and can lead to costly errors; as many as 80% of medical bills contain errors. To avoid errors in coding, billing, and insurance claims submission, look for a therapy EMR that offers automated insurance and billing.
You’ll want access to customizable billing and claims processing and an efficient payment processor that handles credit cards and e-checks. Additionally, look for a system with a built-in claims tracker that helps you submit and track insurance claims through the entire reimbursement cycle.
Your EMR software should offer robust practice management capabilities in addition to electronic health records features. For example, look for an EMR that allows for permission usage customization so you can grant access to the appropriate staff members.
The software should also be HIPAA-compliant in all areas and have a user-friendly interface to make entering patient data straightforward.
The ideal EMR software streamlines documentation through automation. Automation-driven EMRs offer templates for customized reporting and care plans with modalities and procedures specific to different therapeutic disciplines. Software that automatically updates can help you stay compliant and up-to-date with the latest requirements.
You should also look for EMRs with SOAP note templates, which allow you to quickly and easily track and report patient progress.
EMR software can simplify reporting by providing viewer-friendly charts and graphs that help inform key business decisions for your practice. These charts can yield insights into operational costs, uncover potential growth areas, and compare billing and revenue reports.
Look for a therapy EMR that allows you to personalizecustomize these charts to view specific metrics of interest to your practice.
