With so much talk about Cloud computing physicians must work to educate themselves on Cloud technology as ultimately they are responsible for their patient’s health data. First of all there is no actual Cloud where the EHR software is being hosted. Cloud is simply a way of saying the EHR software is installed on another server somewhere outside of the clinic.
In the world of healthcare technology there are (2) options available for running EHR/PM software:
Even after the billions of dollars have been paid to healthcare providers for implementing government certified (EHR) electronic health records, healthcare clinics as a rule are still dealing with massive amounts of paper documents. Whether these documents are being handed to patients to be signed or are simply being received from other healthcare providers, these documents must be scanned into the clinics EHR.
MD Logic RCM (Revenue Cycle Management) services benefits clinics by increasing their cash flow, lowering their overhead and by maximizing their productivity.
Just imagine a sunny day, palm trees, aqua blue water, white sand and a slight breeze in March with the temperature around 83 degrees. This is when physicians in the Bahamas meet for their annual medical conference. MD Logic was proud to be a sponsor at this year’s conference and introduce more physicians to the time savings offered by the suite of MD Logic software solutions.
Ten year ago over 90% of our new customers were investing in their first EHR. That trend has changed over the past 3 years with over 90% of our new customers reporting they have purchased one, two or even three EHR systems before investing in MD Logic. It would be hard to put a number on the amount of lost time and revenue spent on these non-productive EHR systems. The good news is with each bad decision these customer have learned what they did not want in their next EHR.
Being on-call is stressful enough for a physician in terms of late night calls and lack of sleep. Adding more stress to the situation can be the need to find a computer or tablet to log into the EHR and access the patient’s health records. MD Logic can’t solve being on-call but we can solve never having to get up to find a computer or tablet to login to your EHR. If a physician is on-call then they have their cell phone within arm’s reach.
When you look at the impact a productive EHR can make in terms of efficiency and increased revenue for a clinic, you would think any doctor looking to invest in an EHR would invest an incredible amount of time researching EHR systems. In most cases, doctors invest a minimal amount of time researching EHRs for their clinic. The research is often left up to the office manager, administrator or executives when the doctor will be the one actually utilizing the EHR in the clinic each day.
As the leading U.S. provider of high performance EHR, Practice Management and Revenue Cycle Management Solutions, MD Logic celebrated another record year in 2016. Healthcare providers are able implement the MD Logic “all-in-one” total solution (EHR/PM) or pick and choose a specific solution that is best for their clinic. As a healthcare technology company, we believe healthcare professionals should have a choice when it comes to implementing technology.
A decision to purchase any type of goods or services comes down to price and value. When it comes to selecting productive EHR technology, value always supersedes price in terms of ROI.
With over 70% of all physicians using EHR technology, the vast majority continue to use a paper charge ticket to identify services provided for each patient visit. The big question is why? The answer is very simple! The EHR software used by the physician cannot keep pace with the patient workflow. Continuing to use a paper charge ticket is the only option for non-productive (all-in-one) EHR/PM system. The good news is MD Logic solves this problem.
It is estimated that doctors in the U.S. spend approximately 17 million hours each year on annual check-ups. When you think annual check-ups you think primary care but annual check-ups are as just as common with specialists. For Orthopaedic Surgeons, these visits may include annual check-ups for joint replacements and inner body devices. For Otolaryngologists it may be annual follow-up visits for sinus surgery and for Dermatologists it may annual check-ups for skin cancer.
