HOW SMALL PRACTICES CAN USE EHR SOFTWARE

Derek Seymour • Sep 12, 2019

Dental practices are using EHR systems to organize patient records digitally and improve patient visits. However, smaller dental practices may have a harder time taking advantage of EHR systems, but they can still benefit from EHR by understanding the best systems for their practice. Smaller practices can still transform their health care by leveraging systems that improve key areas.

WHAT IS EHR?

Before a small practice can utilize an EHR system, they must first understand what EHRs are and how they can improve patient care. Basically, EHRs are digital copies of patient records that can be shared easily with other certified healthcare professionals to provide quick and accurate care to patients. These systems provide up to date information which is easily accessible at the point of care to ensure other doctors and practices have the necessary information to diagnose and treat patients effectively.

EHR FOR SMALL PRACTICES

Smaller practices can still take advantage of EHR systems by using them to improve certain areas of their operations. Mobile EHR systems are in high demand and can improve prescribing medicine, reviewing medical notes, communication between the doctor & patients, and customizing patients’ charts on mobile devices for quick access. They can use cloud-based EHRs for both long-term and short-term benefits by aligning it with management strategies. Portals enable patients to provide information from outside the clinic saving time and improving patient satisfaction.

BENEFITS OF ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS

Cloud-based EHR systems remove the burden of maintaining a personal data server and save costs. Software catches mistakes by flagging them, making digital systems less affected by human error. They also help with finding the right treatment plan for each patient, improving engagement with patients. To determine which EHR systems to implement, review the business data to determine which areas need improvement. Make a plan to help meet important goals such as improving patient satisfaction.

The bottom line is that small practices can still benefit from EHR systems by implementing mobile systems, cloud-based systems, and patient portals. With these simple systems, smaller practices benefit from improved communication, patient satisfaction, and better information sharing during emergencies.
