When considering an expansion of your current family practice patient load, you will require clinical efficiency and strong usage of your resources. How you use those resources defines whether or not you can meet and support current and future patient demand.
We know your family practice is broader than most medical specialties. Your family physicians are the only specialists qualified to treat most ailments and provide a more comprehensive health care experience for people of all ages — from newborns to seniors. Your practice may focus on pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, or internal medicine, psychiatry and neurology, surgery, and even a community medicine program. In many rural locations your community's needs may include all of these areas. That being the case, you see a wider spectrum of ailments so clinical efficiency is extremely important.
Busy family care physicians need to dedicate as much time to their patients as possible, but too often the many administrative tasks detracts from time available treating patients. To coordinate services and enhance the care for your patients, your practice needs the most advanced data and technology available.
If your practice uses an EHR as part of your workflow, learn how to become a super-user of the built-in templates that are already included in the solution. Templates act as shortcuts that can save you a significant amount of time and kickstart your clinical efficiency. These templates can offer time saving options that can be especially valuable for standard procedural processes.
Adding a smart speech recognition solution in the right place in your workflow will enhance your user experience and can save you up to 2 hours a day in documentation. Further productivity is key so using a documentation solution that is designed for speed, accuracy, and mobility, will allow for timely completion of patient narratives in your EHR.
For example, when your physicians speak a few short phrases or words using a speech recognition solution (with a paired microphone device) during a patient interaction — those phrases convert to a full block of text automatically based on what template you are using. These are highly valuable timesavers when using common intake forms, prescriptions for medications, and other common health ailments found during yearly general health visits.
Using shortcuts with your EHR with a paired medical speech recognition program opens up additional practice efficiencies like:
Helping your Clinicians produce documentation up to 45% faster and capture up to 20% more relevant content
HIPAA compliant and secure information seamlessly added directly to your EMR
Provide a rich patient front and back end dictation note making it easier and faster to submit for timely insurance reimbursement
