Answers, not Questions.
The complexity of Clinical Documentation is increasing. The last thing you need is more questions. You have enough on your plate trying to support your facilities’ initiatives. Facilities are challenged with integrating aging dictation and transcription systems, that were not designed to be integrated, with modern Health Information Systems. These archaic systems simply cannot deliver what your department, and the rest of the facility, needs for the future.
Providers are resistant to changing their methods of documenting patient encounters and HIM Directors, like you, are saddled with coming up with the answers to everyone’s questions:
- The CIO wants to know that the system is going to aid in meeting Meaningful Use not preclude it. They want to know that Patient Information is Secure; the systems are reliable; and, that there is a solid back-up plan in place.
- The CFO wants to know if you are doing the most with the least capital possible; that your staff is efficient; that Reimbursement times are minimized; and, that Speech Recognition and other cost reducing measures are being explored… just please don’t ask for money right now.
- The CEO wants to know why Providers are not embracing the multi-million dollar EMR system that was just purchased and integrated over the past three years… or is getting ready to be purchased… and if you are on track to meet Meaningful Use criteria.
There are three areas that we believe will help you answer these questions, and are covered on these pages: Take Control, Real Savings and Speed TAT.
Do you have the answers? If so, congratulations… but you are in the minority, and probably didn’t need to visit this page!
