For many, the prospect of implementing Electronic Health Records can be intimidating. Although there are obvious benefits associated with going paperless and eliminating paper charts, the “fear of the unknown” can make this task seem overwhelming. The good news is that Practice Director can make the implementation process very manageable.

There are several reasons to take advantage of this module of Practice Director:

  1. The EHR will eliminate the need for the optical and billing staff to spend valuable time re-entering diagnosis and CPT codes.
  2. Staff will not spend their time filing, re-filing, or looking for charts on a daily basis.
  3. The cost of paper supplies will be severely reduced and the absence of physical charts will free up space to be utilized for other office needs.
  4. Once the patient has been in the office for the comprehensive exam, and the data is now stored on the computer, their paper chart can be filed alphabetically behind the last “Z” patient chart, eliminating the need to refer to the paper chart in the future.
  5. You’ll always have the option to scan all the paper charts into Practice Director if you choose.
  6. Incentives realized from the HITECH Act: If you begin utilizing the EHR in Practice Director now, by the time the EHR incentives are available, you will be way ahead of the game. So set a goal date to begin.
