EHR Optimization

---

 "This is too many clicks!"   

"Why is the clinical team taking so long to room the patient and documenting unnecessary information?"  

 "I never know where in the chart to look for what I need." 

 These sentiments echo through conversations with physicians and advanced practice providers discussing their experiences with current EHR systems.  We assert that the challenges stem from workflow rather than the EHR, provider, or clinical team. Picture workflow as the strategic game plan in football—requiring adjustments as circumstances evolve.  Typically, workflow is set during a clinic's EHR implementation, often amidst uncertainties. Organizations seldom intentionally revisit and reassess workflow regularly.  

In this scenario, Med Practice Insights takes on the strategic role of the mastermind play caller, orchestrating precision in your team's operations. We systematically enhance your workflow by breaking it down into key components for optimization.

• Scheduling and Registration: 
  • Conduct a thorough analysis of your schedule, examining the timing of each slot and strategically placing different visit types. 
  • Identify and eliminate unnecessary time spent on manual data input by implementing an echeckin process for patients.
• Rooming the Patient: 
  • Ensure accurate data collection during the patient rooming process.
  • Develop workflows that encourage patients to input essential information, minimizing staff involvement and maximizing MIPS scores.
  • Emphasize the creation of efficient workflows that align with optimal documentation practices.
• Clinical Notes: 
  • Collaborate with providers to craft note templates that automatically pull in relevant data, streamlining documentation.
  • Utilize existing tools to seamlessly integrate individualized documentation into the automated process.
• Referrals: 
  • Establish streamlined workflows for handling both incoming and outgoing referrals.
  • Implement checks and balances to prevent oversight and ensure efficiency.
  • Address common areas of loss, such as unnecessary printing and faxing/scanning of documents, working towards resource conservation.

Throughout these initiatives, the overarching goal is to enhance efficiency, reduce manual workload, and maximize the use of technology and automated processes. Med Practice Insights acts as the catalyst for these improvements, creating a more streamlined and effective healthcare operation for your team.
