Gastroenterology EHR Software

Increases Communication, Efficiency and Revenue of your Practice

Your patients deserve the best.  So why continue to waste valuable time, energy, and revenue with your current rigid, inflexible EHR software?  It’s time to transition to PrognoCIS EMR software.

You will benefit from an ability to customize your EMR platform and automate tedious tasks, avoid redundancy, and collect and report on data more easily. The seamless communication between your practice and labs, radiology, pharmacies, and referring doctors has been proven to save precious time and resources - allowing you to maximize efficiency and increase income while being more responsive to the immediate needs of your patients and your Gastroenterology practice. PrognoCIS EHR software improves your medical practice’s efficiency by:

• Automating workflow, with specialty-specific templates, including intake forms, SOAP notes, lab orders, and more
• Simplifying meaningful use for improved coordination of care, referral management, patient engagement, and office efficiency
• Providing immediate access to patient clinical records and seamless collection and reporting of data and patient health information
• Transitioning to a fully integrated, responsive patient portal
• Customizing paperless statements and online bill pay options
• Facilitating patient-friendly online appointment scheduling and appointment reminder feature
• And several more EHR software options specifically designed to increase the efficiency and revenue stream of your Gastroenterology practice.

Gastroenterology Medical Billing & Practice Management Software automate the administrative & financial processes such as appointments, patient registration and billing process

The days of keeping your practice management software  and electronic medical records software separate are over.  It’s time for GI Specialists to eliminate the headaches, conflicts, and lost time and revenue resulting from communication errors and system breakdowns between software systems that claim to be working together for you. Integrating your EHR with Practice Management software is probably the most low-risk and cost-effective way to make your practice more efficient and more profitable since it enables Gastroenterologists and their staff record patient demographics, manage charge capture, perform billing operations, generate reports and schedule appointments thereby dramatically improving clinical workflow efficiency and boosting reimbursements.

PrognoCIS EHR is fully integrated with comprehensive practice management / billing software and therefore provides your practice with a seamless integrated solution you need to eliminate lost productivity while increasing revenue and efficiency. It therefore helps you to optimize revenues with accelerated reimbursements, automated coding recommendations, reduced denials, and increased patient flow.

Here’s how full EHR and practice management integration can benefit your medical practice:

• Saving in time by cutting out lot of duplicate effort since your office staff will not have to enter the same data twice into separate programs. Practice Management software and EHR will exchange the required data effortlessly and without any errors. The result is an increase in efficiency allowing you to focus more on the pressing needs of your patients. 
• Improved cashflow by accelerating the claim submission process and reduction in costs by reducing rework involved in dealing with claim rejections and denials as well. Handling denials is very expensive and hurts the bottom-line of the practice.
• Increase in profits by eliminating the separation between the clinical and administrative sides of the practice, which hinders operational processes due to the use of time-wasting procedures.
• Enhanced patient communication, leading to improved continuity of care 
• Automatic creation of real-time claims thereby accelerating your revenue cycle, with charge codes crossing over from the EMR.

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 Software. 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.

Uses of Tele-gastroenterology

• 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, Gastroenterologists can review abdominal scans sent by the patient or a referring provider (asynchronous telemedicine service) or the patient can go on a live video chat with their Gastroenterology provider to discuss their diet restrictions and receive dietary counselling. (synchronous telemedicine service).

• These “virtual” or telemedicine visits allow the Gastroenterology 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.

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

• Telegastroenterology 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.

Reimbursement and Coding for Telegastroenterology

• 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 sends a file or app data from a device which monitors the patients weight loss or weight gain.
• Live interactive (synchronous): Real-time two-way interaction between the physician and patient e.g., patient initiates a video chat with the physician to discuss their symptoms such as fluctuating weight, medication sensitivity and other non-emergency symptoms or to discuss upcoming procedures such as a colonoscopy.
  

• CMS is providing various waivers and flexibilities designed to help Internists and other Gastroenterology practitioners deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.  Many of these flexibilities cover provision of care via telemedicine. For example, CMS now also allows Gastroenterology 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 American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) has provided on their website a sample list of codes that can be used by Providers for telemedicine visits.
