Why Every Healthcare Facility Should Implement EHR Software Solution?

As we know by now, that EHR solution is the first step to transform your healthcare facility for the better. The solution has proved to improve all aspects of patient care, improve safety measures, effectiveness, patient focus, communication, education, timeliness, efficiency and equity among patients. EHR software solutions provide evidence-based tools to help healthcare facilities make patient care decisions, in addition to providing an accurate, current, and shareable view of patient information and medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, immunization dates, allergies, radiologic images, and laboratory and test results.

An EHR system provides a more holistic and detailed picture of the patient's health. The healthcare system has been going through tough times during the Coronavirus pandemic and sharing patient medical information is all the more important and valuable in making timely decisions and delivering quality healthcare. During that critical phase, the information in the EHR as collected by all healthcare providers proved to be a very important source of medication. The healthcare providers involved in the care of the specific patient get to know exact health updates from that and the patient information is designed to be shared with other medical practices and organizations too. Actually one of the most important aspects of EHR is that the medical information can be shared electronically with multiple healthcare organizations, which can save enough time, effort and resources.

 

Various importance of EHR Software solutions

·         Improving convenience and efficiency of the associated clinic:-  Since EHR software is associated with getting away with paper records, in-house office staff of the medical facility of any type no longer have to waste time rummaging through cumbersome paper records. The caregivers can quickly and efficiently access the latest health update of customers via the easy-to-use EHR dashboard with just a few keys on the keyboard.

 

·         Space saver: - There was a time not too long ago when the medical practices store paper medical records in large warehouses filled with paper. These paper files used to take up huge space and are less environmentally friendly too. They also tend to deteriorate over time. The EHR solution eliminates the need to store paper documents in bulky filing cabinets, freeing up more space in the healthcare facility that can be used to store medical supplies and other equipment.

 

·         Patient’s involvement into their own treatment: - Well-designed advanced EHR systems come with a patient portal that allows patients to view their medical history and health information whenever they want. It made them aware of their health scenario and made them conscious and satisfied.

 

·         Improved quality of patient care: - Here comes the most important part, patient care.  While a medical facility associated with good software solutions, they wish to improve the patient care before anything. EHR software reduces the risk of errors and misinterpretations that can negatively impact the quality of patient care. Detailed, accurate and updated patient information and easy access to the patient's medical records help the doctors, surgeons and physicians to diagnose and treat patients effectively. All this significantly improves the patient care of the associated healthcare facility.

 

·         Streamlines the revenue cycle of the healthcare clinic: - Medical billing is a function of RCM and refers to the process of submitting claims to insurance companies in exchange for the healthcare services provided to the patients. In a disturbing trend, insurers used to reject more than 50% of medical claims due to incorrect coding or errors in patient medical information. A comprehensive EHR system ensures that patient information is updated accurately and in a timely manner and is correctly reflected on the medical bill. Seamless EHR and RCM integration ensures accurate claims submission, fewer claims rejections and a correct refund with full payments from the insurance companies thereby offering a steady stream of revenue cycle.
