Chiropractors Should Adopt Nationwide Automated Solutions (2015-04-06)
Every business has administrative workflow that can become overwhelming which, if not dealt with properly, can bug down the entire operation.
The medical industry is no exception and chiropractors are a large part of the medical profession in the United States, as elsewhere in the world. The continuing talk in Washington about the rise of healthcare costs and the seemingly-everlasting tug of words between Congress and the White House over how to bring down those costs and let more Americans enjoy universal healthcare has even further exacerbated the debate.
As more Americans get older, the need for practitioners such as chiropractors becomes more evident. Those doctors, however, need more administrative staff to perform duties such as maintaining records in the chiropractic SOAP software systems that each doctor uses.That is the software all doctors use after a session with a patient to record patient complaint, their initial assessment, and what further treatment or plan of action would be needed.
Chiropractors have been working for years with software companies on producing and improving various chiropractic certified software packages for the profession. Some of these chiropractic EHR software packages have worked out well while others have not. No one denies that electronic health records are vital.
Chiropractic certified EHR is one of the easiest ways to bring down costs. The reason is simple. In this day and age when people keep moving from one place to another, from one city to the next, or from one corner of the country to the next, there is a need to recreate those health records and SOAP notes every time a patient changes doctors.
If you just imagine the cost of meeting that administrative need for each person and multiply that by the 30 million Americans who go to a chiropractor each year, one can see the potential monumental cost of not having one or two nationwide SOAP packages that all chiropractors can adopt.
