Family Practice Management Software automates the administrative & financial processes such as appointments, patient registration and billing process

Family practice management, also known as family medicine management, not only leads to better patient care, it also helps streamline administrative tasks, such as scheduling appointments, managing medical records, and billing leading to increased efficiency and productivity. It involves the administration and coordination of healthcare services in a family practice setting.  Family Medicine has unique needs for family practice management solutions. No matter how much healthcare laws have evolved or how much practice management has transformed, family practice management software allows family physicians to provide the highest quality patient care.

The days of keeping your family medicine practice management software and electronic medical records software separate are over. Integrating your family medicine EMR with Practice Management software is the best low-risk, cost-effective way to make your practice more profitable and efficient.

Here’s how full EHR and practice management integration benefit your family practice

• Save time by eliminating duplicate effort. Your office staff no longer enters the same data twice. Practice Management software and EHR exchange seamlessly. With this increased efficiency, you can focus on the needs of your patients.
• Improve cash flow by accelerating the claim submission process and reducing claim rejections and denials. The time and effort involved in handling denials increase cost and hurt the bottom-line of the practice.
• Increase in profits by merging the clinical and administrative sides of the practice and eliminating time-wasting procedures.
• Enhanced patient communication that leads to improved continuity of care
• Automatic creation of real-time claims to accelerating your revenue cycle because charge codes cross over from the EMR.

Uses of Telemedicine

• Telemedicine visits are useful for simple issues and for providing health education to patients. They can be used to do patient assessments and evaluations, medication management, treatment planning, and even supervision and crisis intervention. For example, a patient can send a photo or video of their minor injury such as a wound or bruise to the Family Medicine Practitioner who can check it at a later time (asynchronous telemedicine service) or the patient can go on a live video chat with their Family Practice provider discuss and assess a baby’s cough and cold symptoms (synchronous telemedicine service).

• These “virtual” or telemedicine Family Practice visits allow the Family Practice team and patients to interact and communicate in many ways, including: discussion of symptoms, observation/assessment of many physical signs, collection of pertinent data, explanation of test results, communication of diagnoses, and discussion of treatment options.

• PrognoCIS Family Practice EMR enables providers to conduct patient consultations through real-time videoconferencing that is both secure and HIPAA-compliant.

• Telemedicine visits allow more flexibility, save travel time, and decrease the amount of “downtime” that patients spend in waiting rooms. More importantly, telemedicine visits enable patients to get the care they need while lowering their risk of exposure to contagious diseases during times when social distancing is necessary.

• The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) states that “Telemedicine and virtual care have quickly become important tools in caring for your patients…” The organization’s website provides an extensive list of resources related to telehealth, including tips on implementing telehealth and telemedicine service for practices, telemedicine payment, and answers to frequently asked telehealth questions.

Reimbursement and Coding for Telemedicine

• Telemedicine services can be performed in one of two ways:

  • Store and forward (asynchronous): Patient submits an image, pre-recorded video, or copy of document(s) for the physician to review and provide advice, e.g., a patient their blood pressure diary to the provider.

  • Live interactive (synchronous): Real-time two-way interaction between the physician and patient e.g., patient initiates a video visit or telephone consultation to ask the Family Practice provider about the differences between COVID-19 and flu symptoms and to schedule a flu vaccination appointment.

• CMS is providing various waivers and flexibilities designed to help Family Practitioners and other Family Practice practitioners deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of these flexibilities cover provision of care via telemedicine. For example, CMS now also allows Family Practice practitioners to deliver telemedicine services while working from their own home while continuing to bill for these services from their officially enrolled practice location.

• The AAFP has shared Coding for Telehealth Visits information on their website to help Family Practitioners navigate various telehealth scenarios, with emphasis on those related to COVID-19.

e-Prescription integrated with Medication Management for Adherence Improves Productivity and Empowers Providers with Timely and Targeted Information

With electronic prescribing, or e-Prescribing, providers enter prescription information into a device such as a tablet, laptop, or desktop computer – and securely transmit data to pharmacies using a software program and connectivity to a transmission network. When a pharmacy receives a request, it fills the medication right away.

Key benefits of our e-Prescription solution include:

• Ability to send e-prescriptions immediately from your patient’s chart to their desired pharmacy
• Improved prescription accuracy and reduced medical errors through automatic interaction checks including drug-drug or drug-allergy issues
• Better connectivity with PACs and labs
• Reduced risk of controlled substance abuse, particularly pain management medication
• Lower out-of-pocket cost to patients through access to prescription eCoupon discounts
• Simplify prescription management for both patients and providers.
• Immediately access patient medical records, including information about patient medications, prescription history, and allergies

Medication Management for Adherence

• Medication non-adherence is a national epidemic. Medication non-adherence, sub-optimal prescribing, and improper drug administration cost the U.S over $300 billion annually. More than 20% of an employer’s healthcare cost is caused by non-adherence, with 50% of patients never taking the medication as prescribed.

Medication Management for Adherence from Surescripts is integrated into PrognoCIS Family Practice EHR. Surescripts analyzes prescription usage data from Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and funnels relevant information into PrognoCIS. This information empowers physicians to improve adherence by arming them with timely and targeted information.
