FAQs
A robust EHR should streamline your operations and minimize time spent on data entry by offering simple navigation tools and customizable workflows tailored to your practice’s needs. It should offer cloud-based storage, eliminating the need for on-site servers and ensuring data is backed up securely. Your EHR should also integrate with other key systems like billing and payment processors, lab and imaging platforms, ePrescriptions, patient portals, and practice management tools to facilitate seamless patient data transfer and communication.
Your practice’s tech infrastructure should include reliable high-speed internet with strong firewalls to ensure consistent access and maximum security with minimal downtime. It should also include backup systems to sustain your operations in the event of a power outage. Be sure to research phone systems to avoid excessive monthly fees and check that you have sufficient CAT6 lines to support both phone and internet access at each of your workstations. Invest in high-quality computers and other hardware that can support the daily demands of your practice without breaking down.
Automation tools can help administrators save time and reduce the risk of costly mistakes by minimizing manual tasks and streamlining day-to-day processes. Automated scheduling tools can cut down on phone calls and manual data entry, while automated reminders can minimize no-shows and ensure timely payments. Automated patient payment tools can help staff reduce time spent on collections and enable faster, more accurate processing.
