You decide to bring your practice into the 21st century. The practice is losing money and patients because most of your operations are still paper-based and labor intensive.
You notice that the revenue cycle takes a long time. After conferring with a fellow clinician, you discover that computerizing the process will greatly reduce the processing time. She points out the following reasons you should deploy a behavioral health EHR (BH EHR)as soon as possible:
• Increases Service Delivery Efficiencies – When various doctors or clinicians need to share sensitive patient data, a BH EHR provides safe, encrypted communications to safeguard the information.
• Improves Medication Management – Allows you to keep track of patients medications in real-time. BH EHR permits your practice to e-prescribe medications. The patient can now pick-up the medicine once they get to the pharmacy.
• Secures patient data – To be compliant with HIPAA requirements, you must secure all sensitive patient data collected and generated. Also, a good BH EHR solution will protect your organization against potential theft, loss or destruction of data.
• Accessible from everywhere – By deploying an internet-based system, you enable your practitioners to address any life-threatening emergency quickly and effectively.
• Streamlines billing – To maintain a healthy practice, you must ensure that your revenue cycle runs efficiently. Data entry errors are minimized. And payment delays for services rendered are reduced as much as possible.
