Abstract DeCesare Chiropractic Inc. currently faces the problems with the implemented system of
Forte Chiro8000. The current system has many flaws and problems that facilitate the slowdown
of billing and receiving payments for services rendered by the chiropractor.
Since we have ventured into the EMR system back in 2013 it has been a long road for
this company: I would like to go deeper into how the system works and how it will connect with
our patients. Unfortunately, a lot of her patients are not at the technology age and yet I’m still
forced through the system’s compliance with medical policies that we must go along with it to
keep our practice. When this office first received this program back in 2013 it was not being utilized to the
best of its abilities. Within the last year and a half as I have become the manager, I have tried to
implement all the aspects of the system into our business. Hopefully with the confidence that the
system will work for us it will keep cost down and bring in the revenue that the doctor should be
earning. To the system running at its capability, a lot of the billing was missed and a lot of 3
revenue was written off since it was not billing in the compliance within the time that is allowed
through insurance companies. I want to show in this project that with the right training any
system can work right to the benefits of the practice that is using the technology. Statement of the Business Scenario
<this was not due for this Week’s assignment; I am a bit confused> There are some disadvantages to EMR and the first would be that it does cost money to
get EMR. Equipment must be bought for the EMR to begin. You also must pay the money for
someone to come in there to transfer all the paper files into the EMR and this can be very costly
and would be extremely time consuming. It takes a lot of time to transfer medical files and to add
to the confusion if a doctor needed a file within that process, it would be a seek game trying to
find that file within all the mess. This type of transfer can also cause for errors within the
transferred files. Information that was on the files could be entered incorrectly, some files could
be missed completely and files could even be lost altogether. There could also be a
confidentiality issue amongst the person who is doing the transferring, there may be some
problems with patient information leaving that door after the person is done.
<this is not to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of EHRs; if EHR is your topic,
then you were to find 3 EHR systems and compare their advantages and disadvantages against a
set of weighted objectives>
One challenge is that with EMR systems you can also run the risk of your system being
hacked. Information being stored electronically can cause for anyone to be able to gain access at
any time. Research shows that this has happened numerous times to reputable companies, so
there is always that possibility that patient records could be hacked. This wouldn’t be good for all
patients because some things need to remain confidential considering the severity of the issue at
hand for that patient. Chiro8000-Chiro Touch 2 Another challenge is that not all health care systems are compatible, so when it comes to
running the same EMR on all systems, you may come to find that the actual EMR might not fit
all systems. If the systems don’t match up, then getting patient information quickly and easily
may turn out to be a problem. Chiropractic software system that is developed to improve the productivity and efficiency
of an office and maximize the profits of the business. The problem with the current company is
access, scheduling, still depending on paper charts, and minimized profits. Seeing up to 60
patients a day and not able to keep up with the current billing demands. The system created should be should be free of stress and have the most updated
information hardware easy system with the easy to manage designed program. Proposed project is the electronic medical records (EMRs) are a digital version of the
paper charts in the clinician’s office. An EMR contains the medical and treatment history of the
patients in one practice. EMRs have advantages over paper records. EMRs allow clinicians to
Track data over time, easily identify which patients are due for preventive screenings or
checkups, check how their patients are doing on certain parameters—such as blood pressure
readings or vaccinations and monitor and improve overall quality of care within the practice. Chiro8000-Chiro Touch
This information will benefit your organizations EMRs will travel easily out of the
practice. The patient’s record might even have to be printed out and delivered by mail to
specialists and other members of the care team. Tools and Apps that include integration
capabilities, comprehensive practice management solutions, mobile capabilities, and tools and
features that automate billing, insurance eligibility checks, and other daily tasks so that you can
spend more time with patients and less time with paperwork. 3 References
