Choosing your first, or converting from your existing practice management system, to a better EHR system can be daunting. To minimize installation and conversion issues a critical due-diligence process should be employed.

The Fox Group believes in the essential, due-diligence approach, reaching all the way to the planned daily usage.

Advantages of Electronic Health Records
-
Better Compliance: Documentation is guided in a semi-automated fashion resulting in increased accuracy and support of procedural codes. Plus, the ease of pulling together billing and audit requests is dramatically enhanced when using an EHR system.
-
Greater Efficiency: Like the saying goes …“Garbage in garbage out.” But when it comes to using an EHR system, because it guides the user into making each entry accurate and complete, all subsequent activities including billing, collections, and reporting to name a few, reap the rewards and operate with heightened efficiency resulting in improved cash flow.
