PrognoCIS Orthopaedic EHR Software: Integrated with Comprehensive Practice Management Software

The days of keeping your practice management software  and electronic medical records software separate are over.  It’s time for you 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 Orthopedic EHR with Practice Management software is probably the most low-risk and cost-effective way to make your practice more efficient and more profitable.

PrognoCIS Orthopedic EHR is fully integrated with comprehensive practice management 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.

PrognoCIS Orthopedic EHR Software : Integrated with Comprehensive Telemedicine Software

We offer a Telemedicine solution that integrates seamlessly with our EMR software and is designed to keep your orthopaedic practice running smoothly. This interoperabilty provides faster and more accurate diagnoses, improved efficiency in care coordination, quicker treatment, and more.

The main components of the package include:

1. Web Patient Portal for laptops, tablets and desktops
2. Telemedicine app with embedded patient portal app
3. Payment Gateway (Integrity Pays)
4. Zoom Integration

Uses of Teleorthopaedic

1. According to the Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery (JB&JS), in a randomized study of 389 Orthopaedic surgery patients, Buvik et al. reported that video-assisted consultations were not inferior to standard consultations.
2. 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, post-procedure follow-up.  For example, a patient can send a photo of inflamed and swollen joint (asynchronous Orthopaedic telemedicine service) or go on a video chat with their physician to discuss and show the location of pain in their neck, back, arms, or legs (synchronous Orthopaedic telemedicine service).
3. These “virtual” or telemedicine Orthopaedic visits allow the Orthopaedists 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, discussion of treatment options including medication management, and follow-up to certain procedures.
4. Our Orthopaedic EMR enables providers to conduct patient consultations through real-time videoconferencing that’s both secure and HIPAA-compliant. 
5. Telemedicine Orthopaedic visits allow more flexibility, save travel time, and decrease the amount of “downtime” that patients spend in waiting rooms.  More importantly, telemedicine visits let patients get the care they need while lowering their risk of exposure to contagious diseases during times when social distancing is necessary.
6. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) has provided a Telemedicine Startup Checklist and some suggestion for choosing a telemedicine vendor.

Reimbursement and Coding for Teleorthopaedic – CMS Guidance

Orthopaedic Telehealth services can be performed in one of two ways:

• Store and forward (asynchronous): Patient submits an image or pre-recorded video for the physician to review and provide advice, e.g., an elderly patient sends a recorded video of themselves performing activities of daily living (ADLs) to their Orthopaedist.
• Live interactive (synchronous): Real-time two-way interaction between the physician and patient e.g., during a patient video chat, the physician asks the patient to do specific movement while the Orthopaedist carefully observers and evaluates the patient.

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

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 can enter prescription information into a computer device – like a tablet, laptop, or desktop computer – and securely transmit the same to pharmacies using a special software program and connectivity to a transmission network. When a pharmacy receives a request, it can begin filling the medication right away.

Key benefits of our e-Prescription solution include:

• Ability to send e-Prescriptions immediately from your patient’s chart to patient’s   desired pharmacy
• Improved prescription accuracy and reduced medical errors through automatic interaction checks for potential drug-drug or drug-allergy issues
• Better connectivity with PACs and labs
• Reduced risk of controlled substance abuse, particularly those medication for pain management
• 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 costs the U.S over $300 billion annually. In addition, more than 20% of an employer’s healthcare cost is caused by non-adherence, and 50% of patients never take the medication as prescribed.
• Medication Management for Adherence from Surescripts is integrated into PrognoCIS EHR. Surescripts analyzes prescription usage data from Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and funnels the relevant information into PrognoCIS thereby empowering the physicians with timely and targeted information to improve adherence.
