Chiropractic Notes | Clinics that use xDocs generate more revenue
If you are completing your chiropractic SOAP notes on paper you might wonder why you are still light years away from building your dream practice. Aside from stealing valuable time away from other income-producing activities, paper patient documentation has been shown to seriously hurt the profitability of a chiropractic clinic, especially in comparison to using digital xDocs. Granted, change can be scary and painful– even more so if you have to trade familiarity and convenience for complicated technological processes. But what if the transition to digital documentation with xDocs, in fact, made the whole patient documentation process simpler? With auto-populating forms that fill in patient demographics and can be completely customized to match your old paper forms, xDocs are easy to use from day one. Best of all, xDocs make EMR follow the chiropractor’s workflow so he is more likely to complete the SOAP note while he is still with the patient, then submit it at the end of the appointment with the click of a button instead of staying up late at night to catch up on paperwork. It goes without saying that faster submission of SOAP notes directly impacts the billing process and improves the cash flow at any chiropractic clinic. Moreover, spending more time treating your patients will increase your patient flow and as such also improve your clinic’s profitability. Not to mention that going digital will also earn you a meaningful use stimulus from the U.S. Government to encourage EMR/EHR transitions while making it easier to stay on top of any changes made by payers. In the end it’s all about commitment, though. If you don’t make a complete transition to xDocs and only use them with half of your patients or even less frequently, your results will suffer accordingly and produce a much smaller margin of billing improvement as obvious in the example below. Practice D was using xDocs for less than 12% of the visits and achieved no meaningful improvement in billing performance: With a 100 percent commitment to transition and use, however, you can potentially double your clinic’s billing performance in about three months’ time as clearly achieved in the example below. Practice A started using xDocs in May, in just three months their billing more than doubled: Ultimately, the potential uses of xDocs at your chiropractic clinic are almost limitless and include required PIP documentation, chiropractic intake forms, visit documentation, care plan tracking or any other special purpose from within Genesis’ cloud-based Vericle platform.
Start Building Chiropractic SOAP Notes With XMR Technology
By Erez Lirov — CTO XMR stands for eXtensible Medical Records technology which was created as part of the Vericle platform to help chiropractors save time on patient visit documentation. Basically, XMR technology lets a chiropractor document a patient’s visit quickly and easily in a few simple steps while he is still with his patient. The idea is to have the ability to very quickly look at a set of existing patient notes, absorb the information from the previous visit and quickly make a new note for the current visit by modifying information about the past visit, without actually modifying the previous record. Watch the video below for more info: The most important concept of XMR techn0logy is the ability to create a new note based on the old note. So let’s look at XMR , why it works and why it’s so effective. The most important part of XMR is the complete absorption of the medical record to understand everything about the previous visit. It turns out that there’s really two ways to do this. One way would be to look at a narrative. For example, patient presents with pain in their left shoulder, throbbing pain– in other words you can imagine that there could be a whole paragraph describing the complaint of the patient and the subjective findings. To read a note like this and comprehend it quickly can be a very draining activity on a mental level because reading is a conscious activity. It takes a lot of our conscious effort since we have to focus on it in order to retain what we are reading. The other way to look at this type of information is to block it out and look at the actual values of the note itself. In other words, we know that the patient has some sort of pain, we know that it’s in their left shoulder and we know that it is a level eight. By having the patient information in blocks like this, I can very quickly tell that this patient has left shoulder pain on a level eight. I don’t have to parse through the rest of the sentence and I don’t have to understand exactly what’s going on with the order of the words. This turns the activity from a very mentally intensive, a very conscious level activity to a very automatic activity where I can just look at this the same way I look at street signs and react to the info very quickly.The idea behind this is that it is something that takes minutes and a lot of active mental activity, and turns it into something takes seconds with very little conscious mental effort. What does that do? It means that I can do all of my notes much more quickly, and more importantly I can really use the rest of my brain power to really focus upon the patient themselves and what it is I’m trying to achieve with the patient and how I want to take care of them,and my plan going forward. So half of the advantage of XMR technology is the ability to comprehend the previous note as quickly as possible by looking at the signs of the note which are essentially the labels, instead of reading through an entire paragraph of narrative from the previous note. The second part of XMR is the capability to create the next note by pulling data from the previous note instead of starting from scratch. It allows you to simply click into a value like the pain level, for example, and change it to a seven, or any other value. What that means is that rather than thinking about creating a new note from scratch, I’m thinking about just making small changes in the current note and the system automatically copies all of the information for me and creates a whole new note and a whole new narrative out of that original note. Then for the next visit I won’t need to parse the narrative, but I can just simply absorb the ‘street signs’ and understand what’s going on with the patient in a glance.
Improve PVA With Integrated Posture Assessments
If you are looking for a way to improve the Patient Visit Average (PVA) and increase profitability as part of your “new patient” marketing efforts, you should consider using the posture assessment tools that are already integrated into your Genesis chiropractic EHR system. You will be able to impress prospective patients at health fairs and other marketing events with a visually effective, instant diagnosis via the PostureScreen App on your iPad, iPhone, or Android. Even more importantly, you will be able to collect and save their contact info in your Genesis patient data base at the same time. Since PVA is computed by dividing the number of total office visits by number of new patients in a chosen time frame, you can improve this value by increasing the conversion percentage of intro visits to care plans. The old adage that the eye buys holds true for the use of posture assessments because this visual tool lets a potential patient see any spinal misalignments for him- or herself and, therefore, ‘buy’ the diagnosis and need for chiropractic treatment. This type of patient education can increase the number of new patients resulting from marketing events while also improving first-visit conversions. The end result will be a higher ROI on your marketing efforts. The EHR integration ties everything neatly together by providing the opportunity to create a new patient file in your Genesis system within minutes or quickly update an old one while still with the patient. Any personalized results of the posture assessment can then be emailed to the patient for an opportunity to schedule a follow-up appointment or reinforce the patient’s compliance with a prescribed exercise program.
