Improved Hospital Billing and Operational Benefits with EHR Adoption

The past decade has seen every major industry being computerized, including the medical industry and hospitals – which have moved on from hand written prescriptions to Electronic health record (EHR).

Along with it, EHR also has a potential to create opportunities in health care organisations as it can help with the cumbersome administrative processes. EHR adoption can create a better work flow and quality in mainly three fields – namely coding, chart analysis and records management.

The latest version of EHR software have, in fact, focused specifically on billing processes, that includes robust eligibility checking for preventing errors, updates with Medicare as well as with other payer reimbursement rates.

Usage of EHR can also cut down on inefficient and time-consuming paper works. Patient information flowing through the practice, like tests, diagnosis, prescriptions and procedures can be accessed with just a click. The other information for a patient like demographic data, appointments, scheduling, billing and other pertinent information can also be accessed from anywhere, be it home or office. This means that the information exchange between the various levels of heath care like labs, hospitals and imaging centre has become effortless and efficient, thus saving labour and a considerable reduction in hassle over billing.
