Learn How to Have Your Technology Work FOR You!
You work with technology every day; chances are you’ve felt the frustration and headache of that technology making your job more difficult. Changes to technology do not automatically bring benefits. In fact, if there aren’t any changes to workflow that capture the benefits, technology alone can be a real pain. It’s not fair to pay for the extra expense and get nothing in return. Here we will discuss a few ways you can leverage small steps to help your technology become more helpful and less of a hindrance.
Implementing new technology can increase the capacity, security, and quality of your practice. These small changes may only increase your efficiency by a small amount. But many little changes could increase your capacity by 15%. Enabling 17 employees to do the work of 20 while also improving a patient’s perception of your practice.
Just as an example, some EHR platforms have an application program interface that links to the office Voice Over IP Phone system. When a call comes in, the EHR software pulls up the patient chart for the receptionist if the EHR system has the same number as the caller ID. When the receptionist takes the call, the patient chart is already on the screen.
Another simple yet helpful resource is offered by the federal agency in charge of leading America’s cyber defense which will give any business that enrolls a weekly, external vulnerability scan and findings report. This is a type of PEN test; many businesses must have one performed annually or even monthly. It’s free to enroll and any business can sign up. A business that enrolls typically starts getting reports about two weeks after enrolling.
Cyber Hygiene services are provided by CISA’s highly trained information security experts equipped with top-of-the-line tools. For more information about this incredible, free resource click here.
We understand that the crazy wheel of medical practices never slows down! Practice managers are some of the busiest people on earth. But the only way I know to get ahead is to adjust the practice workflow!
