The advent of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems has revolutionized medical practice by streamlining the storage, access, and integration of clinical information into workflows. However, despite the shift towards digital healthcare delivery, up to 80% of clinical data may still exist outside of the EHR. This poses substantial challenges and costs for practices and enterprises in ensuring the accessibility of vital information. Such obstacles can impact every stakeholder within the care delivery ecosystem.
The solution enables the right data to be present at the right time and in the right place, assisting care teams in providing better patient care. It alleviates clinical staffing burden, resulting in savings of over $10,000 per physician per year. A standardized clinical documentation and data abstraction process in place can positively benefit various stakeholders:
Patients : Patients benefit from more accurate and
consistent diagnoses, faster clinical interventions, and
unnecessary re-testing.
Physicians : Physicians experience increased engagement
with patients using their EHR as the trusted source for
clinical information to make effective care plans.
Clinic Staff : Clinic staff experience reduced burnout
through more meaningful patient interactions and clinical
tasks with the freed time.
Healthcare Enterprise : The enterprise overall can
reduce the risk of malpractice, the costs of redundant care,
and costly staff deployment to manage outside clinical
documentation, all while generating greater revenue.
