Taking a Paperless Approach to Managing Patient Data
Improve Customer Care, Maximize Efficiencies
Regardless of size; doctors' offices, medical labs, and related healthcare organizations are some of the most paper-intensive work environments. Even the most efficient medical offices struggle to maintain accurate patient records while complying with increasing privacy regulations, and managing the endless maze of insurance submissions and patient billing.
No matter how you look at it, documents - be they physician notes, lab reports, insurance submissions, EOBs and EOPs, or patient bills - are the common denominator for the administrative challenges facing today's healthcare organizations. Add to the mix stringent industry and privacy regulations, as well as the growing need for instant file access, and you've uncovered an industry that is mired down by paperwork.
For some, these cumbersome document management challenges and business requirements have become so common and time-consuming that many doctor's offices opt to forgo payment for some services rendered. The reason: they simply do not have the staff available to track contested insurance claims back to the specific patient record for clarification for small amounts.
