How EHR Connects Your Whole Process
We take the position that you should run your practice however you would like using the tools that work the best for you, no matter if they’re digital or paper. This series details our approach to making a good EHR that improves on therapists’ paper process, yet remains simple, saving you money, time and peace of mind.
We admit, running your practice with a paper process is really simple. Unfortunately, most EHR’s just can’t match that. But, BreezyNotes EHR can. And it offers something on top of that: connectivity.
What do we mean by “connectivity?” Well, let’s explain using the paper process and the components you use to complete it:
1. Writing Progress Notes:
- Paper
- Word document
2. Scheduling:
- Paper calendar
- Google calendar
- Outlook
3. Managing Clients:
- Rolodex
- Word document
- Outlook contacts
- Excel Spreadsheet
4. Submitting to Insurance:
- Fax machine
- Snail Mail
- Upload to clearinghouse manually
- Upload to individual insurance company portals
- Billing Service
5. Invoicing
- Handwritten
- Word doc
- Spreadsheets
- Billing Software (Quickbooks)
6. Tracking Financials
- Excel spreadsheet
- Paper ledger
- Billing software (Quickbooks)
So, again, the overall paper process is pretty simple. But to complete that process you have to use six separate components. And none of them talk to each other. BreezyNotes basically takes those components and makes them work together.
With BreezyNotes, after you schedule an appointment, you just need to click once to get to your note. When you’re done with your note, you click once to submit the claim to insurance (with private pay clients, you’re done as soon as you collect payment).
Additionally, all that appointment info is now automatically tracked for billing. There’s no need to enter it into your spreadsheet. You can automatically generate invoices, see a report of who’s paid you, and so much more. All in one easily accessible piece of software.
When all the components are talking to each other, you can eliminate those small tasks, like faxing a claim, that snowball into huge time wasters.
