Electronic health records (EHRs) or electronic medical records (DEC), certainly not a new idea, but these days are a hot topic debate. Statistics show that only about 20-40% of physicians use some form of full or partial EMR system, but Obama has publicly stated that its target for adoption at national level over the next five years.
Many are still reluctant to adopt an EMR system, but the use of records integrated electronic health with a complete software management practices can generate cost savings and increased revenues. There are six benefits very clear that system:
Less paperwork, more patient. It may be time to pull the patient's history and document a patient's visit on paper. Using an EMR system, the history of a patient is within his reach, and mapping can be done in real time. Using structured data entry, as templates, the process can be simplified. The average time saving is estimated at five minutes per patient because the doctor visits average 25 patients a day, this is equivalent to two hours each day. This means an additional 6 or 7 patients could be seen every day.
Improving evaluation and management (E & M) coding. Unfortunately it is common for doctors Undercode, either for lack of time to document the care being provided, or fear of an audit. Medical Economics magazine has estimated that doctors routinely by the code of an E & M level lost an average of $ 40,000 to $ 50,000 a year in reimbursements. An EMR system allows for quick but comprehensive documentation of the visits. This means that cognitive services can be properly documented in order to justify the correct E & M level. In addition to increasing reimbursements from the mean, E & M coding reduces the time required of personnel needed for further processing and / or correction of claims.
Eliminate paper charts and the costs associated with them. Medical Economics has estimated that the creation, monitoring, storage and maintenance paper records cost $ 8 per record per year. An electronic record Furthermore, costs on average about $ 2. This is a significant cost saving. Moreover, DEC reduce real estate costs (by eliminating the need for storage), and labor costs required to maintain paper systems.
Reduce or eliminate the dictation and transcription costs. The average physician spends between $ 12,000 and $ 25,000 a year on transcription services. Most EMR systems important provide templates that allow transcribers, or even doctors to add notes more efficiently (and as importantly, more exactly). It may not be able of completely eliminating the need for dictation or transcription, but the costs can be reduced considerably.
Stop chasing paper. If a company insurance denies coverage, this often leads to a mad rush by all relevant documentation. Copies should be made, re-written notes, etc., and resubmitted the claim within the typical period of 90 days. With an EMR system, all applicable information can be retrieved and resubmitted instantly.
Capturing charges automatically. Bryn Technologies has identified that the average primary care practice loses more than $ 250,000 in unbilled services per year. Advanced EMR systems can automate charge capture accuracy. All valid procedure codes and delivery can be associated with a particular ICD-9 so nothing is lost.
It is clear that more money can be generated and stored by the transition to an integrated EMR system. No need to hesitate any longer. Technology the DEC and practice management software has advanced beyond the early adopter phase uncomfortable and ready to be adopted by the majority.
