Why Should your Medical Practice Management System Be Web Based?

The financial incentives and push from the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) and Meaningful Use has resulted in an increasing number of healthcare providers starting to use electronic records to capture patient information, track and report clinical conditions and improve performance. Making this model a success is hinged heavily on having a reliable infrastructure and achieving a seamless transition to it. The need is to always have clinical data safe and secure and most importantly always available. With a desktop based system one gets restricted in many ways. In order to keep up with the changing demands and a desire amongst the medical professionals to provide better patient care created a need to have access to patient information on the move. This led to the development of web based Medical Practice Management System development.

The need for web based Practice Management Systems has been on the increase ever since physicians have realized that PMS can actually help them automate their workflows and that they are underutilized if treated merely as digitized tools. Many factors have led to this demand. Globally, there has been an increase in the use of cloud based computing in healthcare. Practically, physicians have felt the need to have the flexibility to see their patients at various locations and not be constrained on having data available only at fixed locations like clinics or hospitals. The later can prove to be a big impediment – especially in cases of emergency. Lack of access to relevant data generally in such cases results in delay in providing patient care. Also the system which helps in meeting this need has to ensure that the data is secure and consistent when accessed by physicians on the move and on devices ranging from mobile phones, laptops and tablets. Consistency of the data is equally important as relevant patient information is received from different sources e.g. laboratories, hospitals, other practitioners in an integrated healthcare system. Basically at the ground level their need was to be able to have a simple yet fully integrated system through which they could collaborate and review patient records in real time and where data was completely secure.

Many software development companies have actively dedicated teams specializing in Web Based Practice Management System development . Implementing the systems results in improving medical staff efficiency, billing processes and frees up time for the all-important job of providing better patient care. Generally a comprehensive system has a streamlined registration and scheduling process with provision for verification of patient data and checking for the insurance eligibility and out-of-pocket payment agreement followed by means of tracking medical claims. Besides handling all these processes the system is required to adhere to the norms which make them eligible for Meaningful Use eligibility. Auto updates takes care of the need of the system to keep up with the change/updates in the codes and rules that are essential for effective coding & billing, including ICD 10 and ANSI 5010.

Web-based PMS Smoothens up Healthcare Bottlenecks

With the positive results of using a practice management system (PMS) in a medical setup being clearly visible, there are many options available in the market today to choose from. Apart from improving efficiency, the solutions help in increasing the bottom line. At the same time, choosing the right system is the key and the primary apprehension of physicians or decision makers in established medical setups revolve around ensuring that their workflows do not get affected by the entire exercise of implementing a PMS Solution .To address such concerns, the best option lies in getting a custom made solution which also incorporates the latest industry practices. To put it into action requires identifying the right software development company which has the requisite expertise in the field of work. All they will need is an explanation of the workflows which exist within the desired requirements. We at Mindfire Solution have executed numerous such projects in the past for our clients. Tailor made solutions seamless merge into their operations without creating any disruption to the otherwise flow of processes.

Broadly speaking, these systems schedule appointments, record patient information, manage billing procedures & generate customized reports. It is not as if the existing medical setups which are successful do not have mechanism to do all this .What however a PMS does is that it saves a lot of effort which otherwise goes into all these activities, hence freeing up time which can then be spent on the primary function which is good patient care. Also human errors, which are bound to happen as long as all operations are done mechanically, get reduced considerably by using this system. One of the biggest impediments faced while implementing a Practice Management system is that of changing the habits of physicians and other people involved in the operational setups who are accustomed to using the conventional methods for years together .But managing all the paper records yet doing it well as the size of the set up increases becomes very difficult; starting impacting the administrative processes and subsequently the medical care which is rendered to the patients. Although these issues kind of initiated the acceptance & use of Practice Management Systems, in the current context, they are being looked at as mechanisms to automate workflows and not merely as digitized tools.

Another major benefit of using a PMS is that of data security. The system through restricted data access permissions & encryptions ensures that patient data is secure and is only available to relevant people. Besides that, web based Practise management systems have also made it possible for physicians and other concerned people to access data virtually which have offered them high level of flexibility and convenience.
