Today many medical practices deal with huge amount of work, so a good practice management system may become as a well-timed and assistive tool to arrange processes that occurs during a patient visit but apart from medical examination. How to assign tasks, manage scheduling, check eligibility and authorizations, receive consent forms, operate cash flow – all this aspects on the agenda.
Naturally, any practice looks for a way to make its daily operations more efficient including communication between practice’s facilities. Every practice management system has a unique interface and features to meet the needs of users.
iSmart Electronic Health Records (EHR) system includes a practice management (PM) component so you don’t need to use any additional software. The PM of iSmart EHR enables users to:
|
Maintain Authorized Users The software enables to make any practitioner as a practice administrator who becomes a super user of in the practice. A practice admin is authorized to create several front office users and assign them user roles so that front desk users can perform limited operations within the practice. Also, a practice admin is enabled to create practice locations and add them to corresponding providers. |
|
Schedule Appointments Scheduling appointments seems to be a major aspect of a medical practice daily operations. The system allows selecting one of the two available templates of appointments page. There is an ultra-modern interactive net displaying scheduled appointments and their statuses. While adding an appointment a user can define its duration, enter a new patient and make notes. Rescheduling and ability to show appointments of all locations in one window is also what providers use in practice. |
|
Check Eligibility Patients, both established and new, should have their insurance records in any medical setting. The patient’s eligibility is usually verified by medical office staff. Though checking eligibility in iSmart EHR system is a separate service, it is reasonable to consider both practice management and eligibility solutions together. |
|
Maintain Patient Information The PM of iSmart EHR allows staff to enter new and edit existing patient information including demographics, address, contacts, insurance information and other patient data. There is a patient list where users have filters to search patients; actions to display patients’ session notes and add a new one. The system’s structure allows users to review a patient information from frequently used pages. |
|
Generate Reports There is a number of reports users can generate to evaluate their performance. Almost all of them are located on the same page. The advantage is that the EHR's vendor can develop new reports by clients’ request. |
|
Create tasks and reminders For PM it is also important to create and assign tasks. There is a task list to track completed or active tasks. Users can add and edit tasks, make notes about progress, set due dates and indicate when reminders should appear. |
We understand the practice management is a vital process of a medical practice workflow and we specially paid great attention to PM’s usability, so users know it’s really efficient part of iSmart EHR system.
