PrognoCIS Podiatry 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 Podiatry professionals 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 DPMs 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 Podiatry 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.

Improve Patient Outcomes and Documentation Accuracy with Podiatry-specific EHR Software

Podiatry EMR software that’s tailored to Podiatry-specific needs helps your clinicians and staff handle repetitive clerical functions as well as set up appropriate templates, giving you more time to focus on providing safe patient care, engaging with your patients, and documenting more accurately and efficiently. All these improvements and efficiencies help you in improving patient outcomes.

• PrognoCIS software for Podiatry comes pre-loaded with treatment plans for new and returning patients, for common HPI complaints such as ankle sprain, bunion, ingrown nail, nerve entrapment, neuritis, planter fasciitis, bursitis, foot fracture, Achilles tendonitis, orthotics, neuroma, abscess, gout, verruca plantaris, and many more.
• Additionally, our Podiatry EMR comes with physician-developed and tested Podiatry templates that can be used as-is or be further customized according to your needs. These include templates for podiatry examinations such as generic and routine foot exams, heel pain plantar, ulcer physical, and other. It also includes over 75 procedure and surgery template forms for minor surgeries to complicated procedures like Arthroplasty.
• Our Podiatry EMR software includes a library of diagrams which enables graphical charting of physical assessments, including the ability to “pin” the assessment to a specific location / body part, such as the dorsal, lateral, plantar, medial, and posterior views of the foot. This helps improve the accuracy and detail of your documentation. This diagram-based assessment goes towards automatic creation of a progress note, which can also be edited as needed. The diagrams can also be included in the note.
• It also includes generation of Worker’s compensation reports as well as pre-op and post-op evaluation.
• PrognoCIS Podiatry software enables you and your staff to access all patient records and even document hospital rounds remotely and securely.

Uses of Podiatry Telehealth Health

• 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 their bunion to their Podiatrist (asynchronous Podiatry telemedicine service) or go on a video chat with their physician to show an abscess from different angles (synchronous Podiatry telemedicine service).
• These “virtual” or telemedicine Podiatry visits allow the Podiatrists 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.
• Our Podiatry EMR enables providers to conduct patient consultations through real-time videoconferencing that’s both secure and HIPAA-compliant. 
• Telemedicine Podiatry visits allow more flexibility, save travel time, and decrease the amount of “downtime” that patients spend in waiting rooms.  More importantly, telemedicine visits lets patients 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 TelePodiatry – CMS Guidance

• Podiatry 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., a patient sends a recorded video of them performing diabetic wound care or a series of photos of their diabetic wound taken over a period of time.
• 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 the effects of a particular medication or Podiatry procedure.
• CMS is providing various waivers and flexibilities designed to help Podiatrists 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 Podiatry practitioners to deliver telemedicine services while working from their own home while continuing to bill for these services from their officially enrolled practice location.
• In addition, Podiatry practitioners can provide consultation services to other physicians via telemedicine. These “eConsultations” can be coded with inter-professional consultation codes for reimbursement by CMS.

Improve Communication and Patient Experience with Customizable Patient-Friendly Patient Scheduler and Appointment Reminder Features

Your Podiatry practice can reduce lost revenue from missed appointments and late arrivals by providing your patients with the ability to directly communicate with your Podiatry office on a number of essential functions, including online scheduling of appointments, as well as receive important reminders through multiple media sources such as phone, text message, and email.

Patient Appointment Scheduler

• Option 2: Self service. Patient portals can be used to schedule appointments.

Patient Appointment Reminders

Our reminder service for Podiatry appointments is executed through a text messaging mechanism and allows medical staff to send “appointment reminder” text messages to patients.

• This reduces lost revenue arising from no-show or late arrivals with automated appointment reminder and confirmation features sent through our text messaging service
• These reminders increase efficiency by streamlining the patient check in process upon arrival
• They enable you and your staff to quickly and easily communicate important information to patients
• They improve the patient experience and build patient trust and engagement with responsive, direct communications with your Podiatry clinic.
