As go your patient relationships, so goes your practice\u2019s performance<\/strong>. That\u2019s why PYP spent much of this week sharing unexpected ways to enhance your approach to patient management and optimize your practice in the process.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Do EHRs Make Patients Safer?
\n<\/strong>Indeed, they do. Doctors using electronic health records boast fewer malpractice claims than other physicians, facilities equipped with digital records enjoy a 3 to 4 percent decrease in mortality rates, and primary care docs incur fewer medication errors with EHR systems.<\/p>\n

How to Counter Security Threats to Mobile Devices
\n<\/strong>Encryption, employee education, geolocation and remote wiping capabilities are crucial to ensuring that your patients\u2019 protected health information is kept secure. Check out other tips on ensuring ePHI protection in this piece, contributed to PYP by PhysBizTech<\/p>\n

Use \u2018Preventive Care\u2019 in Billing to Decrease Denials & Increase Satisfaction
\n<\/strong>Taking preventive measures in billing will help keep payments \u2013 and patients \u2013 moving smoothly through your office. Prevent denials, increase efficiency and ensure your visitors are happy by updating demographics, checking eligibility and communicating with patients prior to all appointments.<\/p>\n

Do ePrescriptions Actually Improve Patient Health?
\n<\/strong>The verdict\u2019s in: ePrescribing is highly beneficial for patients and providers alike, resulting in better medication accuracy, greater patient engagement and a higher rate of prescriptions filled. Additionally, studies estimate that healthcare savings from ePrescriptions could add up to nearly $240 billion.<\/p>\n

How Employee Health Impacts Your Patients (and Your Practice)
\n<\/strong>Your patients are at a greater risk for medication mistakes and injuries when your staffers \u2013 especially clinicians \u2013 are in pain or depressed. Employee wellness can reap major benefits in staff retention and patient outcomes, making a practice-wide emphasis on health a win-win for your practice.<\/p>\n
