Fill the EMR / PMIS Gap
Traditionally EMR/PMIS vendors have over-promised and under-delivered. We help these vendors fill in some small yet critical gaps that can have a really big financial impact. These shortfalls in functionality are usually glossed over, mis-understood, or left to a "future" release.
Vendors downplay the downside, while practices seem to underestimate the gaps and learn them AFTER implementing a new EMR, unfortunately causing a decline in their financial results. Our typical new customer has had a new EMR for a year when they engage with us to turn things around. We operate and assist the products from over 20 major vendors of EMR and PM systems and provide our customers an average savings of $0.83 an encounter.
Many customers have employed our solutions long before finalizing a decision on a new system, during the implementation, as well as after the transition to an EMR. Vendors have already complained and delayed compliance with meaningful use (MU) stage 2 and are struggling to find an adequate answer to ICD-10 by October of 2013. We can start saving you money right away – whether you are considering a new system, just bought one, not seeing the results you want, or just can't wait for the ideal EMR to be created sometime in the next decade.
3 Key Areas Where Critical Gaps Can Be Found
< click each area to learn more >
ONE ...in quickly and accurately capturing charges
Physicians want speed and typically do not like change. They want to be able to capture and pass charges into the process however (paper, tablet, notebook, phone) and wherever (office, hospital, car, home) they desire.
We engineered our solution
to account for this demanding reality.
TWO ...in the smart, automation of ever changing coding rules
Insurance companies have far more resources than physician practices and wage and unfair war of technology and "rule" changes to thwart and deny doctors getting paid for what they do. To level the playing field, we place the same kind of technology payors use to deny claims into your practice to use to improve cash flow and reimbursement with automated intelligence, accuracy, speed, and adaptability.
It is important to address the gap between what technology can do and what providers will do. For those who are not ready for such an abrupt conversion or who would like to accelerate the charge capture process, many EMR users have adopted the paper superbill, AccelaSCAN, or the superbill under glass, AccelaCAPTURE, to allow the physicians to keep their current workflow, while accelerating the billing office’s workflow.
After all, the providers are the only revenue-producing entity in the practice, and slowing them slows and may even decrease revenue.
THREE ...in the integration between an EMR and PM system from different vendors as well as with dealing with physicians who still want to use a paper superbill
Even within the same company, vendors of EMR and Practice Management systems often struggle getting charges in, passing the charges between them, and properly coding despite claims to the contrary.
We work with over 20 major vendors and we specialize in seamless integration and process smoothing.
