If you work in a physician’s office you know how vital it is for everything to run smoothly each day. 

Upgrade Your Electronic Health Records System

Electronic health records (EHR) are a digital version of each patient’s full medical history. Upgrading your EHR will allow anyone in the system to view a patient’s chart, which will cut down on having to get a complete history each time you see a patient. With the chart being available across a secure system, it will cut down on a patient seeing multiple specialists and allow for a smooth transition between care settings.

NextGen EPM reporting is helping to enhance your doctor’s office by improving prevention. EHR provides doctors and patients with better access to test results, identify missing patient information. The system offers evidence-based recommendations for preventative care all through a securely shared electronic information between yourself and other clinicians. This will allow doctors to diagnose patients more easily because of the reduction in medical errors.

The goal of this NextGen software is to help the doctor’s office to maximize its potential by providing the best patient care and generating the most revenue.  

Upgrade Your Practice Management System

Practice management software is a system that allows you to run all aspects of your physician’s office efficiently. The software offers solutions in the areas of clinical care, connected health, patient engagement, population health, and financial management. One of the best parts of the software is the ability to allow doctors to streamline documentation by using their cloud-based platform called NextGen Mobile Solutions.

Other benefits associated with practice management software includes making it easier to schedule appointments. Using the systems scheduling and calendar tools, you will be able to efficiently schedule patients and staff while quickly making adjustments from the office or remotely. The software has intuitive scheduling and calendar tools that allow for easier appointment setting and making calendar adjustments, so you don’t have to worry about double booking.

PM software can automate tasks in your office to cut down on the time that is required to complete them. This cost-effective aspect of the system allows you to send appointment reminders, maintain inventory (automatically reorder when stock is low) and

automating processes such as scheduling, billing due dates, claims submissions, and optimizes patient collections. 

A practice management system will enhance patient experiences, help your office run more efficiently, all while streamlining tasks throughout the entire office. The primary purpose of PM is allowing you to focus on patient care instead of administrative tasks.

Start to Embrace Artificial Intelligence

In most physician’s offices, paperwork is one of the most time-consuming parts of the job. With today’s technology and the advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), it has allowed for the ability to streamline reports. Since AI can think and complete tasks that are currently performed by staff with higher speed and accuracy, it will enable doctors and staff to focus more on patient care instead of menial tasks like filling out paperwork.

Artificial intelligence can help with disease management, clinical trials, diagnosis, and treatment, as well as patient monitoring. Some examples of how your physicians can use AI include:

  • Virtual nursing assistants are saving the industry money by interacting with patients and directing them to the most effective care. They are available 24/7 to answer questions, monitor patients, and regularly communicate between patients and healthcare providers.
  • Medication management can be done through a smartphone webcam that is partnered with AI to autonomously confirm that the patient is taking their prescriptions and help manage their condition. It is commonly used for patients with serious medical conditions, patients who don’t listen to their doctor’s advice, and participants in clinical trials.
  • There is also health monitoring that is done through patients using wearable health trackers. The trackers will send alerts to the user and share information with doctors. The AI system will also keep track of data points on the needs and habits of the patient.
