Best Hospitalist Practice Management Features
The practice management software you choose to process patient claims and handle patient administrative records will be an integral part of your operations.
- 66% of over 228 Hospitalists polled in a 2019 study express medium to high levels of dissatisfaction with their current PM software.
- 88% report systematic inefficiencies including a periodic lack of proper support and insufficient access to the right tools and performance insights.
We switched our practice management software to Claimocity simply because you can’t know where to focus your efforts if you aren’t sure what is or isn’t working.
ESSENTIAL FACTORS FOR YOUR NEXT PM SOFTWARE
- Support: Ensure support is available when you are likely to need it and is truly helpful, especially during the initial data transition and learning phases.
- Billing: Ensure the revenue cycle management portions of the software are not only aligned with the functions you use, but serve the purposes you need such as capturing charges at the point of care, inputting patient demographics, and processing claims.
- Intuitive: The best options are designed with the end user in mind and are not a headache to operate on a daily basis. Everything from shortening learning curves to maximizing operational value is impacted by the intuitive nature of the software.
- Functionality: Ensure that the features and functions offered align with your top and mid level needs to ensure that you are getting the tools you need to do the job.
- Analytics: Reporting is often overlooked as a basic element included across the board but the level of physician performance insights, KPI tools, financial evaluations, comparative analyses, benchmarks, goal tracking, and segmented analytics reporting will make a big difference.
- Aesthetics: Though you may think this is something less important than the rest, studies show that aesthetically pleasing designs enhance the user experience and correlate with increases in daily efficiency and functionality.
- Benchmarks: The real test of the tools offered is how well they work, and in RCM and PM software evaluations, this translates to direct impacts on bottom line revenue. Make sure your billing is above average (at the very least) in key revenue cycle metrics or risk losing money.
- Due Diligence: This means weighing the pros and cons, evaluating the costs vs benefits of the top options, scheduling at least one demo, and getting advice from members of your practice.
