September heralds in cooler temperatures and the changing leaves of autumn \u2013 except in South Florida, where it\u2019s basically summer all year around.<\/p>\n

We at PYP like to be one with our environment, so we never cool down or change our approach to health IT writing<\/strong>. It\u2019s always full-steam ahead, so to speak. And this week we zeroed in on using health IT software to overcome the challenges currently encumbering many U.S. physicians.<\/p>\n

Power Your Practice<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Although it\u2019s unfeasible for most physicians to adopt the micropractice model, larger practices can still learn from the concept<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With reimbursement rates declining, practices can\u2019t afford to let patients avoid copays<\/strong>. Patient portals, practice management software, and the promise of payment logs are three ways<\/a> you can keep patients from skipping out on the bill.<\/p>\n

Rosemarie Nelson, MGMA Principal Consultant, will discuss the features needed in an EHR to make your practice more profitable and productive in a free, upcoming webinar<\/a> sponsored by CareCloud.<\/p>\n

Experts estimate that only 50% of patients take their medications as directed. This may lead to patients\u2019 conditions persisting or even worsening. We explore <\/span>a few tactics<\/strong><\/a> to get patients to adhere to their prescriptions<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

When used effectively, Facebook and Twitter are great ways to engage patients. Yet, they aren\u2019t so great if a patient\u2019s health information gets compromised. Here are some tips for avoiding social media-related HIPAA penalties<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CareCloud Blog<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The aforementioned Rosemarie Nelson sat down with CareCloud for a Q&A session in a preview of the webinar she\u2019ll be leading on September 17, that\u2019ll reveal seven must-have EHR features.<\/p>\n

Denied claims, underpayments, and patients failing to pay<\/strong> copays are some of the primary reasons revenue cycles become faulty. Luckily, there are best practices<\/a> for correcting all three issues.<\/p>\n
