If you’re prolonging the decision to transition to a therapy EMR, your practice is missing out. Transitioning from a paper system to a therapy EMR offers significant advantages for all types of therapy practices. The right EMR will save your practice time and money.
In this blog post, we’ll explore seven benefits of switching from paper records to a cloud-based therapy EMR. We think you’ll agree that completely integrated EMR and practice management software is an empowering tool for your practice and patients.
It’s no secret that the healthcare industry is undergoing a digital transformation. Cloud-based software EMR solutions are becoming increasingly indispensable to medical practices of all sizes.
An EMR is a powerful tool that can help streamline your practice operations, improve productivity, increase revenue, and give you more time to care for your patients.
Here’s a sample of what a cloud-based therapy EMR can do for your practice.
If you’re using paper records, you likely have a system in place to track data, store documents, and process clients from start to finish. But regardless of how well-organized you are, switching to an EMR will streamline data collection and decrease costly errors.
There are many types of therapy EMRs on the market. All EMRs offer some level of data integration with other systems in your practice. Therapy EMRs are designed to interface with other systems that are critical to therapy practices, such as scheduling systems, documentation, billing, and more.
Integration allows you to import and export data to maximize efficiency, eliminate redundant data entry, and reduce the risk of human error.
One of the primary benefits of therapy EMRs is that they ease your administrative workload. If you’re using a paper-based system, you may be spending countless hours on administrative tasks such as appointment scheduling and reminder calls.
A therapy EMR makes it easier to manage these tasks. You can enter all of your patients’ appointment details online, and changes automatically transfer to all system functions that need that information. Every member of your practice will always have access to up-to-the-minute data.
Automated appointment reminders save staff hours formerly spent on phone calls, giving them more time to focus on more productive tasks and boosting your practice’s bottom line.
A therapy EMR lets you spend less time on paperwork and more time caring for your patients.
Whether you’re a private practice or part of a larger organization, your therapy EMR will help you protect patient confidentiality and keep their records secure. Your EMR will allow you to create unique logins and passwords for each member of your team, so only those who need information can access it.
Your EMR will also allow you to securely share patient information with other members of your team.
Since the advent of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), standards for the security of patients’ protected health information (PHI) are strict, and financial penalties for breaches are staggering. A therapy EMR will help you meet HIPAA compliance standards by encrypting PHI and restricting access to it.
A cloud-based EMR also provides secure backup for your patient data. Because your data is stored off-site, if your office experiences a disaster such as a fire or flood, your EMR can help you recover quickly with no loss of data or fear of a security breach.
A therapy EMR can make it easier to document therapy sessions. If you’re using an EMR, you’ll be able to view client data, notes, and more in real time. This allows you to enter information during the session, create progress notes, easily submit therapy bills, and more.
A good therapy EMR will also simplify the charting process and integrate exam documentation with billing and reporting functions.
Electronic medical records are not just for recording patient information, allergies, and past medical history. Many EMRs now come with a compliance module that can help your practice stay up to date with federal, state, and local regulations.
A cloud-based therapy EMR can provide advanced performance tools, including built-in lead tracking and robust analytics. These tools can help you better understand your patients and make decisions on how best to use practice resources to attract more patients and retain the ones you already have.
